The lesson time is usually fixed the night before, making it easier for the planning. The timing depends on the best surf conditions for your level.

Usually for the Level 1 surfers, we use the soft tops for the first days, before we can call yourself an advanced beginner and the instructor decides for you the hard tops. For level 2 sand above, there is a range of hard tops which we can select from.

If you’re having your first go at surfing or have had a lesson or two in the past, we will start from the basics. 

The basics include introduction to the surf board, the surfing spot, a warm up, a dry session on the beach explaining the basics of the pop up and safety techniques, and then going to catch the first waves in our sub-tropical waters.

Our home spots are Arrifana, Monte Clerigo and Amoreira. Surf is always depending on your level, wave & wind conditions.
