5.00Our daughter had a wonderful time learning to surf! Her instructor spoke English and was very attentive. We had no concerns and only wished the water had been warmer for us to swim some as well!

5.00Everyone at the club is super friendly and helpful. We booked a private lesson for our kids (13 and 15) but on the day my husband was able to join them in the lesson for free (he can already surf so was more of an extra support!!!). Daniel was a great instructor and the kids had a brilliant time! This is our second time taking a surf lesson with Portimao Surf Clube and once again we can highly recommend! Great service! x

5.00This was my second-ever surfing lesson. I was able to stand on the surfboard (while moving) almost every time I tried during the two-hour lesson. I now feel like I can practice by myself if the waves are small.
Definitely recommend!

5.00Very helpful and fun experience! I learned a lot and it was way more intense than a group session because of the individual feedback after every wave, the focus on individual strength and weaknesses. Waves are more suitable for beginners in that area. Went in the morning and even saw dolphins swim by. They usually don't come that close so it was a nice bonus :)
Highly recommended

5.00The service outside the class was just incredible! Thanx a lot to Maria who was booking, rebooking and arranging everything just incredibly. We never surfed before and with Samuel we had a really patient and competent coach who made every class a fun class. He gave us a lot of confidence to try over again - and again and again 😉 w e felt well supported throughout the whole class. For me: I totally fell in love with surfing and will come back to Portimao surf Clube! It was an ‚on top benefit‘ that the equipment is stored directly at the beach.
