You only need to bring swimwear (swimsuit, trunks, or bikini), suncream, and a towel or poncho. You can also bring flip flops in case you don’t want to walk barefoot to the beach.

We provide all the equipment needed for the lesson.

Each lesson (group or private) lasts for 1.5 hours (90 minutes)

We advise you to arrive 10 minutes early to put on your wetsuit and prepare everything in advance.

We work with a maximum of 1 instructor for 4 people.

Each lesson won’t have more than 6 people (2 instructors) unless the members of the group require it.

*A family of four including kids will always have 2 instructors in the lesson.

Our policy is that surfing is for everyone!

We only go surfing in conditions appropriate for each student.

Also, please don’t think you’re too old to have fun in the ocean. Let our instructors guide you on the waves. Never gonna know if you never even try :)

Regarding experience or fitness, no matter your level or shape, you’re very welcome – come along and see how fun surfing can be!

YES, all equipment is included in the surf lessons.

We do everything possible to ensure safety and fun in our lessons: we evaluate ocean and weather conditions at the beach; choose the proper equipment for each surfer; and give a safety briefing before entering the ocean.

This briefing is for rental customers too if you need it!

All surf lessons have insurance included.

Yes, even though our normal lessons are only tiny groups, we also offer private surf experiences for one or multiple students.

Great question! We’re dealing with nature, so there is a chance that the forecast doesn’t meet the instructor’s expectations for the booked lessons.

The teacher has to evaluate the conditions daily as they can differ from the forecast. If conditions are not 100% safe the lesson will be cancelled and the student will be refunded.

We get this question all the time and the answer is, it depends! Surfing is a very personal journey. You might pick up the movements easily or take multiple lessons to learn the basics. And progress isn’t linear. Everyone is different.

Even if you feel comfortable with the basics, we always advise beginners and novices to take surf lessons when they first go to a new spot. Each break works differently and there’s nothing better than having professionals giving you tips for a safer and better experience.

Definitely! We offer a range of different options. Surfing, bodyboard, and surfskate lessons, as well as video analysis sessions and surf mobility training provided by professionals in each field.

Espinho is blessed with waves all year long!

If you’re a beginner, then Summer (June to September) is the optimal time to come and learn how to catch waves.

That said, Spring and Autumn are also great seasons to come and enjoy the swell – with fewer crowds and still lovely weather.

And if you’re an advanced surfer you can challenge yourself in the powerful Winter waves of the Atlantic ocean!

Please take into consideration that we are dealing with nature, which means conditions may vary a lot depending on the weather, wind, swells, period, and wave size, etc.

Ultimately, we evaluate the surf conditions daily and if it’s safe we hit the waves!
