Surf Guide

Surf the best spots around with few crowds. It´s very disappointing to make all the way here and then miss the best waves because you don´t know what are the right conditions, swell and wind direction or the best tide to each spot, neither what sand bank is working better. Instead, ask for our surf guides to surf better waves, eat local fresh food and get to know the portuguese culture.

SUP

Our lesson begins with a good warmup. Then we begin teaching the technique: good posture, paddling, going to the outside, balancing, catching waves, turning, etc. The third part is practing the theory in the sea: help, advices and feedback from the coaches plus lots of fun! The last is moment is about reviewing the lesson, relaxation and enjoyment: includes stretching, breathing and feedfoward.
