Lisbon, salt in your hair by lunch

Learn to surf on the Lisbon coast, one wave at a time.

Small groups, patient instructors and a clear plan from your first stand-up to your first real green wave. Wetsuit, board and a warm shower afterwards are all included.

Why people come back (and bring friends)

We are a small crew of Lisbon surfers, not a conveyor belt. Every session is planned around the swell, the wind and how you are actually doing that day.

Groups of six, max

You get eyes on your pop-up and your stance, not a shrug from the back of the line.

Video of every lesson

We film your first attempts on the beach and send you the clip that evening. Watching yourself stand up is the best coaching there is.

Notes from students

written on the bus back into town

“I was scared of the water for years. Two sessions in and I was paddling out on my own. The instructors never made me feel silly.”

Marta R.

Beginner, Porto

“Brought my twelve-year-old and my sister. The video review after the lesson made the whole group laugh and then get better fast.”

Tom K.

Family group, Hamburg

“Booked the half-day ride-the-line session on a whim. Best lunch I have had on the coast, and I finally learned to turn properly.”

Ana S.

Intermediate, Lisbon

your turn

Book a spot on the next swell

Tell us roughly when you would like to come and we will confirm a time within a day. Lessons run from 8am to 6pm, seven days a week.

Pro tip:

Morning sessions have calmer water and fewer crowds. Book before 10am for the best waves of the day.

The water is warm enough from June. Your first wave is waiting.
