Surf Lessons in the Algarve

We offer surf lessons throughout the Algarve, from Lagos to Sagres and up to Aljezur.

Our small group sizes (maximum six surfers per qualified coach) allow for focused coaching for all levels, from beginners to those looking to improve. At the core of our approach is a love for wave riding, playfulness, and a deep respect for the ocean and environment.

Beginner to Intermediate Surf Coaching

Our experienced instructors are passionate about teaching surfers of all levels, from beginners to intermediates, with a focus on technical surf coaching.

We believe that surfing is a lifestyle, and we offer a holistic approach to lessons that includes ocean literacy, wave riding, soul surfing and blue health. Our Soul of Surfing program combines a little yoga and mindfulness with technical coaching, creating a deep connection with the ocean and promoting progress. We offer small group lessons in the best location for the day, including Lagos, Sagres, Luz, Burgau and the west coast.
