The accumulated experience of long years and the pleasure he gets when surfing sparked her interest in sharing it with others. What motivates him most in teaching is "the Surf stoke he sees in his pupils regardless of age of each one", Paulo tells us.

The biggest lesson he drew from surfing over the years is that "despite my Surfing level is higher today, it amuses me exactly as the day i started." And that´s what is all about, having fun!

SURF COURSE DETAILS

---

After 6 years under the name of "Puro Surf - Boardsports Academy” and the growth and internationalization that this prestigious portuguese surf school gained we decided to come across for a rebranding which updated and made our brand stronger, facing various segments and appropriate to the new era of teaching modern Surfing in a professional way.

We remain connected to our original mission and, as such, at Surf Lisbon we don´t want clients just to learn or improve their Surfing technique, but also to give them knowledge and motivate them to relate to the context and unique culture that this sport represents.

We give priority to quality over quantity and, above all, the safety of our clients, leading us to the various stages of training (beginner, advanced and competition) as well as for different environments (social or recreational and competitive) with the aim of bringing anyone to surf through a safe and fun process of teaching and learning, based on the latest research in training methodology of Surfing.

Surf Lisbon - House & School is licensed with permit No. 333 / 2014 of Turismo de Portugal, IP (public institution that regulates maritime activity companies) and it´s a school certified by the Portuguese Surfing Federation (No.180). Our General Manager is also one of the Portuguese Surfing Federation´s Instructors Course trainers and taught a Surfing course in the Sports Sciences graduation at one of the best Sports Universities in the World, Faculty of Human Movement, in Lisbon.

How it works?
Surf Lisbon - The School comprises three technical levels: Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced / Competition. With the exception of one of the Intermediate options and the Advanced (which works in a monthly fee basis), classes are developed by packages of 5 or 10 units or even single classes both group and / or private lessons. These packages have a one year validity and surfers can join / book lessons according to their availability.

Our schedules are set weekly, according to the best conditions for the matching levels and students are notified via email.

Beginners

Beginners level is open to everyone who never surfed before and to those who had some previous contact with the sport, regardless of age, gender or fitness level. We have boards and wetsuits appropriate to each person so that learning is done in an effective, safe and pedagogic way.

Surf Lisbon provides all the equipment needed, including surfboard and wetsuit. Any student who carries out activities with us is covered by a personal accidents insurance and also a liability insurance. Each Surfing lesson has approximately a 2 hours duration.

Intermediate

The Intermediate level is appropriated for those who have already some experience in Surfing and want to evolve to a superior level. After an inicial evaluation by the Head Coach the surfer will join an homogeneous group.

The acceptance on these intermediate groups is subject to assessment of the Head Coach and surfers must have their own equipment (but if the Instructor sees some specific need the surfer can use a surf school board). These lessons can take place at different spots around Lisbon depending on the forecast and wave conditions.

Sometimes we use video and photo shooting on these lessons for further technical analysis.

Surf Lisbon Kids - Surfing Lessons for Children between 4 and 8 years old

Other goals, in a more advanced and medium / long-term stage, is the formation of surfers and competitors.
In these lessons we apply an appropriate method considering the children´s age and technical level, with special attention to safety through the use of appropriate equipment ("softboards", for example) and preferably with private lessons: 1 kid to 1 Instructor.

SURF CONDITIONS

Surf Spots

Lisbon picks up all the north, west and south swells from the Atlantic, making surf conditions very consistent. From May till October, the waves are smaller but you can always expect waves of 3-5ft with really great water temperature. During winter the swell size is always bigger, making it a place for those looking for challenging surf. Even for beginners there are lots of sheltered spots where the waves break perfect while in most exposed spots can be stormy.

From the wild and uncrowded sandy beaches of Caparica to the urban spots like Carcavelos (famous for its winter barrels) or the point break of São Pedro do Estoril you can find a big variety of surf breaks in the Lisbon area. Also, we are a short driving distance to beaches like Guincho, Praia Grande, Ericeira (World Surfing Reserve) and Peniche, famous for hosting one of the ASP World Tour events that brings professional surfers like Kelly Slater among others to Portugal in October.

All this plus the beauty of a city with almost one thousand years of history makes Lisbon a priviledged surfing destination.


Caxias

The nearest break from Surf Lisbon - The House, at only 2 minutes walking distance. Only works on big winter south / southwest or west swells but if you get the right tide and wind (offshore winds come from N / NW / NE) you can score some barrels on the perfect lefthander that breaks near the pier. On really big swells you have a righthander point break at the opposite corner of the beach.

Santo Amaro de Oeiras

One of the best point breaks in Portugal! It works with big winter NW / W / S / SW swells. If you are confident, you can jump into the peak from the rocks in front of the castle, but make sure you time it right or you'll be washed back up onto them. It's a heavy, fast and often hollow wave which will be populated by the best surfers in Portugal, so make sure you let them have their waves. Basically, GO BIG and don't stop. This can be one of the best waves in Portugal when it is on. In Summer, you will see a lagoon, so best to come between September-March when the Winter swell rolls in.

Torre

Another winter spot, sheltered from the big W and S / SW stormy swells. When every spot is blown up and stormy you can find some small but perfect rights near the fortress, on the right side of the beach. For advanced surfers you also have fast and hollow waves, breaking left and right, on the center and on the left side of the beach, near the jetty.

Carcavelos

Carcavelos is Lisbon's gem. When it's on, like from 4 to 8 feet, you have multiple peaks to both sides along the large beach. All hollow and with some juice with shallow sandbars. One of the best beachbreak's that Portugal has to offer. It works with NW / W / S / SW swells and offshore wind come from N. Fits every surf level from beginner to professional.

S. Pedro do Estoril

Another righthander point break that holds swell. It´s longboarder´s paradise! Long rights from the outside peak until the shore. Good spot also for beginners due to the soft and long white water waves. At paddling distance, you have Bafureira, a spot for more advanced surfers, another righthander point break but a more powerful and tricky wave.

Costa da Caparica

Actually, Costa de Caparica, has 30kms of beachbreaks. From the city center, where the jetties and the beach orientation makes waves bigger and with more defined breaks, to the wild and uncrowded south beaches. Depending on the swell and the sandbars you can find a dream wave just for you on the south of Caparica. Works all year round and is better with NW / W swells and winds from the East. It´s one of the places our school goes often due to uncrowded waves and the beauty of the landscape. Its one of the places where Surf Lisbon has its location, with uncrowded waves and a beautiful landscape along with a great bar at the Beach.

G-Point

Want to have a really different surfing experience? If you are lucky and your stay at Lisbon Surf House matches with the elements you can surf a wave generated by the ferry boats that cross Tejo river every morning coinciding with a particular wind/tide/sand equation. It's a 45-minute drive from Lisbon -- pretty much in the middle of nowhere.

Guincho

One of the most beautiful beaches around Lisbon... Lefts and rights with many spots along the beach. A good alternative when the waves are small at the spots near the Surf House but better to surf in the morning before the wind shows up. Hosts lots of national and international surfing competitions all year round.

Praia Grande

Situated in Sintra area it´s one of the most consistent breaks near Lisbon. A good option for those flat summer spells, Praia Grande rarely hasn´t got rideable waves. Hosts the Bodyboard World Tour event in August / September every year.

Ericeira

The region of Ericeira has been recently awarded as World Surfing Reserve. It´s a world-class surf zone encompassing approximately 8 km of coastline. It contains a high density of outstanding surf breaks, including iconic breaks such as Ribeira d’Ilhas and Coxos, among others.

The coastline of Ericeira is dominated by rocky cliffs, and these are what gives the area its character, along with its famous beaches located in small bays. The diversity of waves in the area, along with their various degrees of difficulty, enables good surfing conditions for all levels of surfers, from beginners to professionals. Also, Ericeira is home to regional and international surf competitions. Ribeira d’Ilhas currently hosts the Quiksilver Pro Portugal each year, an ASP men’s prime professional contest.

Peniche

The peninsula of Peniche offers both north and south-facing coastlines. The result is the finest surfing conditions everyday regardless of the swell and wind direction. The Peninsula of Peniche always offers you a beach where the wind is off shore, creating perfect waves. Along the 15 Km of coast line you can find more than 20 surf spots for all levels of surfers, from beginner to advanced.

Annually, in October, its famous break of Supertubes hosts one of the ten events of the ASP World Tour of Surfing, the Rip Curl Pro Portugal. Surf Lisbon Team is always there and will take you to see all the action live with Kelly Slater, Mick Fanning, Taj Burrow, Gabriel Medina, among others.
