Surfschool

The objectives of our Surf School is to teach our students the theoretic bases of the surf, giving them the chance to take part in this sport in a fun and exciting way, always keeping in mind students safety. We teach them also about personal health and development of awareness of local environmental issues.

Admission to the Algarve Surf School is available for all, swimmers and non-swimmers alike.

Coaches approved by the Portuguese Surfing Federation will teach students at various levels. The classes will comprise a maximum of 10 students. Lessons can also be tailored to an individual’s own requirements (please enquire at booking time).
We start with the lessons on Monday, so we suggest our guests to arrive on a Sunday. The lessons are from Monday to Friday, 4 hours per day. The rest of the day they can practice by themselves. On Saturdays is free supervised practicing, that means that our students will be taken to the beach and surf the whole day by themselves supervised by our instructors.
