Don't look further. Best surf lesson for beginners you can get in Portugal!! I took already 2 courses elsewhere, but after this one week here with the guys I finally learned how to surf and surfed my first green waves! Everyone friendly and nice, too. Best choice!
My wife, and 2 kids (8,12) stayed for 1 week at the Yoga & Surf Retreat and altogether learned surfing. The kids did totally enjoy it and learned a lot about the ocean. The coaches took extremely good care of them and we were super relaxed too. Staff was super friendly and patient. Absolutely recommended! We will be back next year!
