It was such an amazing experience even for the very first beginners. The teacher has very humane attitude and is willing to help anyone. I wish him and his school to thrive and accomplish all goals, he is genuinely a nice person with great heart at the right place. I wouldn’t personally go for anyone else. It was my first surfing experience and I couldn’t be more happier choosing him as my tutor.

It was a great Surf Session. Armando is a local surfguide, super nice and helpful. I really enjoyed it. We got a pastel de nata in the morning and a beer afterwards. Best was to start and to end the Surf session 😍 He is checking the wave forecast and will pick the best beach to go. We have been to a really nice one. I can definitly recommend to Surf with him 😊

This experience was amazing! Armando was patient, informative and an all around great instructor! Although I am a beginner I feel like I have gained the confidence to get back out there simply from what I have learned during this activity. It was super fun and I would recommend to anyone. 10 out of 10 experience!

Armando is really relaxed and passionate about teaching surfing. We had a nice talk about Porto while driving to the beach, which had perfect waves. Communication, pickup, and the lesson were 11/10.

I had a really great time, Armando is a guide, a photographer and a great surf teacher. I really like the fact that we were a small group, he can really focus on what you need to improve and you catch more waves! 🌊 This is the good place to be if you want to have the reel surf vibes 🤙🏻

Absolutely wonderful experience, I highly recommend!! Armando was a fantastic instructor, I had never surfed before and he helped break everything down in a way that was easy to understand and I was able to stand up on my first day. The overall experience was so wonderful and if I'm back in Porto I'll definitely be booking again :)
