About this experience
Undoubtedly, surfing is one of the main must-haves of Portugal! All year round, surfers from all over the world flock to the local beaches - and we will follow their example. During the individual lesson, you will learn about the theory and philosophy of surfing, try out elements of basic technique, and then test yourself among the ocean waves.
What to expect
Beginner lesson on Carcavelos beach
From Lisbon, we will head to the suburban beaches of Carcavelos and Costa da Caparica, which are perfect for first steps in surfing thanks to small and safe waves! In an hour and a half, with my assistance, you will get acquainted with the theory, basic technique, practical skills, and, of course, the philosophy of surfing. First, we will practice on the sand, and then you will try to catch the ocean waves: I will always be nearby to guide you, help correct mistakes, and celebrate your first small victories. Do not worry if you don't catch a barrel or perform a trick on your first try: practice and a positive attitude are crucial for surfing! The selected beaches for the lesson are equipped with showers, toilets, and changing rooms. And if you want to take a break from the waves - you can play volleyball, sunbathe, or have a snack at a local restaurant.
For progressive surfers: conquer the waves in Ericeira
For those who are already friends with a surfboard, I have prepared a more advanced lesson in the town of Ericeira - a small fishing village north of Lisbon. This place is a real mecca for surfers and bodyboarders, and its beaches are recognized worldwide as exemplary for surfing. For the lesson, we will choose one of them: Coxos, Pedra Branca, or Foz do Lizandro. All beaches are located in tranquil secluded areas, so even in summer, there are no crowds of vacationers - but there are luxurious waves!
Who is suitable for the tour
Active travelers of any age! You can never be 'too old' for surfing. Moreover, in the ocean, you can meet many experienced surfers who conquer the waves much better than young guys.
