Review of Lisbon’s Costa da Caparica surf lesson, with transport, equipment, instructor tips, pricing, timing, and practical advice for beginners.
“Our instructors Leo and Johnny were terrific and the photos that Raquel took were outstanding. We are two families with teen and pre-teen kids and Leo and Johnny were so kind, patient and supportive. Everybody in our group caught waves and had so much fun. The conditions in Caparica are perfect for learning and there were even some fun waves for the bit more advanced. All the kids eventually made it past the small white water waves out to where they are just a bit bigger, and they were all stoked after catching multiple waves. They all want to go again!”

Review of Lisbon surf lessons at Praia do Castelo, with Lisbon transfers, equipment, small groups, coaching, and practical booking advice.
“My son (8 years old) and I had a great time. He had a surf instructor to himself (which was reassuring for me) and I was in the beginners adults group. Duarte is a great instructor who teaches you how to do things on the beach and helps you apply it in the water. He gave great advice on how to do better/correct what you're doing wrong. The only improvement I see is the coordination at the beginning of the activity as no one seemed to know who goes in which group and with which instructor but it all worked out great and we had a blast! Thank you!”
