Surf lessons and rental
From beginners to pro surfers
Teaching the best and safest procedures to practice and enjoy surf is our objective. We aim to help you improve your riding skills in a safe way for you and others. Our Surf lessons are held in small groups. That way, you are sure to get quality time with your instructor.
Beginner?
Our experienced instructors will teach you the basic skills of surfing through both land and water exercises. You will learn how to lie on your board, how to position yourself according to the waves, how to paddle and finally how to stand up on your board and catch waves.
Our teaching doesn’t stop at learning you how to ride waves. We will also teach you all the useful notions surrounding the practice of surf. Safety first and foremost, preventing you and the others surfers from any accident, ocean awareness, knowledge of the spot, being able to read the conditions, to choose the right board but also warm-up, stretching and balancing exercises.
Done it before?
Once you start to take insurance in your practice and are able to stand on your board, you will go through further top skills, improving and developing your surf abilities. Among which, you will learn how to make bottom turns on the base of the wave and progress through other maneuvers. Seeking for the right wave, knowing and selecting the right board depending on the practice and on the forecast are also some of the concepts that will be covered throughout the lessons.
Bleh… skip the words… show me the real stuff please!
HOW DO WE TEACH?
Useful information for everyone that want to attend for a lesson
Lessons
When you are ready to learn surfing, book your first lesson with us.
Lessons are 1h30 in small groups.
You can book our school sessions regardless if you are new to surfing or if you have already started learning. We will adapt the class to your level.
The lesson takes place on the beach, just bring your bikini/surf shorts and sunglasses. If you have a wetsuit, you should bring it with you. Otherwise we will provide you with one.
From our experience, approximately 6 to 8 hours of lessons are needed to reach a level where you can surf independently and ride with safety. Each student progress is always individual and may be both faster or slower. The most important is to not skip any steps along the way.
Equipment
Boards
We have boards of different sizes and shapes so we can adapt them to your progression rhythm and to the existing conditions. We have soft top foam boards for beginners, Mini Malibus, short boards.
Wetsuits
On our lessons, you will be equipped with a nice and comfortable 3mm wetsuit so you can enjoy your lesson. You have the choice of a full size wetsuit or a shorty.
Helmets and life-vests
If you feel more confident in using a life-vest, those are available too. We have developed our own life-vests perfectly adapted to our school needs. They are flexible, comfortable and will prevent you from hurting yourself with the board if you happen to fall. You can also use a helmet to protect your head if you feel the necessity.

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.
GUARANTEE
If for some reason you are not satisfied after completing a lesson, do not hesitate to tell us. Safety and customer satisfaction are very important to us, and we will do our best to rectify the situation.
