Testimonials

Great! As I already have done some beginners courses and have surfed already some small green waves by myself, I felt stuck and wanted to progress further. I met Joao and he took me to the next level. After this one week I was able to surf bigger waves and improved my humble maneuvers. He also gave me great tipps in the water and how to position my self reading the waves. Top! Thank you!!

Brilliant! I was struggling for a while to get my take-off right and fell a lot, but after the first day already I caught more waves than ever and had no trouble on the take-off anymore! Like magic they just taught me the right movement. Anyone need some progress in surfing, this is the school! Love you guys! Cheers!

FAQs

Do I Need to Be a Good Swimmer?

You should at least be able to swim on your own. Although you will be connected to your floating surfboard by a leash intermediate courses approach the lineup with no sand beneath your feet.

Am I considered an intermediate surfer?

We would evaluate you as an intermediate surfer, if you are able to catch and surf medium sized (up to shoulder-high) green (unbroken) waves on your own, doing first maneuvers, with a hardboard and know how to duck-dive or turtle-roll in order to paddle through the withewater to reach the lineup.

What do I need to bring?

For surfing you will get all material from us. This includes wetsuit, board and leash. You should have a towel and bikini/shorts/speedo to wear underneath the wetsuit, if you prefer to. We do recommend bringing sun screen (or blocker/ zinc) and something cozy to wear (hoodie, beanie) after the surf lesson in case the weather and water conditions might cool you down a bit.

Which surf spots are we surfing?

Since we are a mobile surf school, we will choose the best beach or reef break for you to surf, depending on wind / wave conditions and according to your skills and goals. The surf spot will be announced before the lesson. We will surf beaches and reefs at the south and the west coast in a radius of about 45 minutes driving from our surf schools base, usually choosing the nearest best surf spot possible.

Should I continue riding longboard or go shorter?

Depends on your goals and style. Going long always means catching waves more ease and ride them with more stability. Shortboards are not so forgiving on posture or balance mistakes. Catching waves is much harder, but if you do they shine with better maneuverability. But for now, don't worry about it. Try a MiniMalibu (7'6'') and focus on catching and riding as many waves as possible.
