Perfect for just starting out. Before I knew it I was standing up on the board. The small class size needed a very active lesson for me. The other students were amazing to learn with.
Amazing team

I had the best surfing time with this team! I’have never had a surf instructor who tried to push me and said let’s go and do it! Doesn’t matter if you are scared and a wave just washed you. It’s part of the process. I had three lessons with them and I could make a huge level up, thanks to them. Can’t thank enough and wait to surf with theese guys again. Big respect!

Booked experience within 3 days and could not attend due to illness, Business come back to me advising that they require 15 days notice to cancel, poor customer service and not looking out for customers. Will never use this service and wont recommend, other options in the area to go.
Good experience

I joined a surf lesson in January 2025 as a beginner. The instructor was very knowledgeable about surfing and was always responsive to our questions and concerns. Despite some strong currents during that day, the instructor always cared about our safety and in the last part of the lesson he also encouraged us to try catching waves. I would hugely recommend such experience. Até a próxima vez!

A complete disaster. You pick up your board and our agent told us to talk past the castle and go to the second beach. We carried boards for well over 30 minutes when it was explained it was a 10 minute walk (it’s still about 1.5km carrying a surfboard). We called, told them where we are at, and they said no no FIRST beach after castle. So instead of surfing we carried boards for several KM that we didn’t need to over bad directions from their staff. And the cherry on top, they couldn’t care less. Not even a sorry, a stuff happens, or attempt to make things better. Just a complete lack of care that they made us walk carrying surfboards over a hour and a half.
Perfect for beginners

Had a wonderful day surfing on Praia de Carcavelos with my teenage son. The school made everything easy: the booking, the communications, the prep and the lessons. Danny in particular was wonderful, very attentive and enthusiastic. He kept up a steady pace and kept us catching wave after wave. He focused on each student and continued to give more and more pointers to improve our experience. A great time.
