Why taking lessons?

So you’re wondering, why should you shell out the money for lessons? The most important reason is so you don’t hurt yourself or others. You will also save yourself time and money by learning from qualified instructors who have developed instructional programs that will guarantee a positive learning experience. The following list gives more reasons why you should take lessons:
1. Save Money. You will save more money by taking a lesson than by trying to learn on your own. Why trash your new equipment when you can take a few lessons and use the school’s boards.
2. Knock the learning curve in half. Instructors will show students safe shortcuts and will get riders up to speed more efficiently.
3. Experience. Most schools have worked with thousands of students and can efficiently assess and address bad technique and set you on the right track.
4. Equipment Education. Schools are a great place to learn about the gear and the multitude of boards available. You will learn to choose those according to your level and to the conditions.
5. Positive Experience. Most importantly, you will have fun and learn in a safe, nurturing environment.
In all cases, please make sure you take lessons from a certified school or from an instructor with insurance.

TEACHING SPOTS

There are several surf sports along the coastline around Esposende. Every day, our instructors will define the one to go to for the lessons according on the weather forecast, tides and waves.

RESCUE & FIRST AID

All our team is trained in first aid. We have all the first aid equipment to take care of any misfortune during the lessons. We also have a detailed rescue procedure in case anything happens while you are having lessons with us. Fortunately, these are skills we have not yet needed. We are, however, prepared.
