5.00I'm coming off the back of a 2024 that tried to kill me... This retreat had the perfect blend of activities & time to myself. I've never surfed, and wanted to be in a safe but uncomfortable environment that would push me. However, as this was my first solo trip so there was a fair bit of pre-booking anxiety. During this period of time, I reached out to Rui, and he was accessible & reassuring throughout, which gave me the confidence to take the leap. It was the perfect retreat... - Learned how to stand on a board (sometimes!) - The instructors & other students were an absolute delight, and look forward to keeping in contact with them Mostly though, I found my confidence with regards to solo travel & looking forward to the next retreat. Rui & Magda are two of the kindest & coolest people I've met. Learning to surf, with the backdrop of this gorgeous city (with terrific wine & food) was an experience I'd highly recommend. Just do it, it will be worth it, trust me.
Perfect and authentic surf school!

5.00The surf lesson was very good. Daniel takes time to explain it well. He makes sure you are safe and guides you well. Extraordinary is that he takes time to wait for the perfect conditions instead of doing the lesson while the conditions are not so good. If you have surf lessons near Ericeira then this is by far the best one! Still have the proper surf attitude instead of the commercial attitude.
