These locations provide suitable wave conditions for beginners to practice surfing. The lesson starts with an introduction to surf theory, covering wave behavior, tides, currents, and basic surf equipment. Certified instructors with ISA or FPS licenses lead the course and provide guidance throughout the session. Participants use modern soft surfboards designed for safety, along with long neoprene wetsuits from Ocean and Earth that offer flexibility and warmth. Transportation from the surf school’s headquarters to the beach is included, but bottled water, snacks, and hotel pickup are not provided.
Our team of certified, experienced, and multilingual surf instructors will introduce you to the basics of surfing using specialized surfboards and equipment at our surf school in the Algarve, located in the southern region of Portugal. We tailor your experience by taking you to surf beaches that match your skill level, including famous spots like Arrifana, Monte Clérigo, or Amoreira. The exact beach will be announced the day before your lesson, as we consider your skill level and the wind and wave conditions. During your approximately 2-hour lesson, you'll learn about waves, currents, tides, and equipment, as well as how to paddle and handle the surfboard correctly in the water. The whole trip takes around 4-5h (includes the drive to the surf beach). You'll always remember the thrill of catching your first wave and taking off into your new passion for surfing!
