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!”

“We enjoyed the activity very much! Ines was a great teacher who helped us all develop. The drive to the beach was smooth, we did a warm up on the beach with some stretching and instructions on how to stand up on the board and then out in the water. I really recommend it if you want to learn surfing or want some good tips on how to develop your skills or just want to go surfing with some new people:)”

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!”

Seriously nice people with great coaching insights, good communication, good balance with the group… Location? Incredible. Almost seemed like a private beach! Birds and wetsuits were great quality and sized well. Can’t say enough good things about GetStoked and their team. I can’t wait to do it again next time I come to Lisbon and you should book this! Especially if you’ve never surfed before. You’ll be surprised!!!! PS I actually first surfed years ago when I was very afraid of the beach! This is great to…”
