Boa Onda surf school group classes are primarily in Monte Clérigo beach during high season (Jul, Aug, Sep) and in Arrifana beach outside of high season.

One day of surf/bodyboard class is 3 hours teaching divided into two sessions of 1.5 hours each. Between the sessions you have time for a snack on the beach or at the local beach restaurant.
