BEGINNER
Discover with us the magic of surfing
“Learn to surf”! You have been dreaming of riding waves for a long time? Today is the day: Welcome to our Beginner Course! We will introduce you step by step to the basic skill set of surfing. Starting the course with theoretical knowledge and a comprehensive introduction on the beach, we are going to practice with you in the white water near the shore. Here you can learn the first steps with your board and practice the new technique in a totally save environment.
INTERMEDIATE
You are hooked and looking for more
You have already taken surf lessons, gained experience with a surfboard and your take-off in small waves works well? Now you want to take it to the next level? In this case our Intermediate Course is what you are looking for! Here you will deepen your basics, prepare yourself to surf unbroken waves and practice your first maneuvers. Your intermediate surf skills allow you to use hard boards during the entire course, which we will provide in the size and shape according to your level.
ADVANCED
You know how to surf and want to improve
You belong to the advanced surfers if the take-off is no longer a difficulty for you and you know how to ride an unbroken wave safely down its wall. From this point on, we will make you familiar with the subtleties of surfing: Your instructor will optimize your skills analyzing your individual technique, working on your weaknesses and fine-tuning your strengths. The focus will be particularly on duck diving, generating speed, bottom and top turns as well as performing cutbacks.
TRANSFER
We start our surf lesson in the center of Porto
Every day, we leave the center of Porto and drive together with you in our surf bus to the beach. Our surf instructors are always looking for the surf beaches with the best conditions.

SURF TRIPS
We take you to the best places around Porto
On our daily surf trips you will not only learn to surf, but also discover Portuguese places that you might not see on a traditional sightseeing tour. Besides great waves and beautiful beaches, you will experience the Portuguese culture and learn about the local history of surfing. Porto is the ideal place to get closer to this unique sport and explore a new environment and its cultural diversity at the same time.
CLIMATE / WAVE
Maritime climate and consistent surf
Due to its long Atlantic coast, Porto provides a maritime climate with mild winters (13° C/ 55° F) and warm summers (28° C/ 82° F). The water temperatures vary between 14° C (57° F) in winter and 19° C (66° F) during the summer months. The biggest swells arrive between the months of November and April and create the highest waves at the North coast of Portugal. In the summer months, however, the waves are smaller and therefore ideal for learning and catching the first small green walls.
