★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 67 reviews · 2 hours · from $76

Review of Madeira’s Porto da Cruz surf lesson, with black-sand beaches, certified instructors, small groups, gear, timing tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Die Aktivität war okay. Leider wurde in der früh die Entscheidung getroffen, vom Strand mit Wellen zum Strand ohne Wellen zu wechseln. Als Begründung wurde die starke Strömung angeführt. Jedoch war hier der Hintergrund, dass es durch die Strömung wohl zu anstrengend gewesen wäre, den Unterricht durchzuführen. Lebensgefährdende Gründe wurden nicht angeführt. Surfen ohne Wellen macht nunmal keinen Spaß.”

Try Madeira’s electric efoil at Calheta Beach with full equipment, patient instruction, and a one-hour lesson for confident beginners.

“Awesome experience. Clear meeting instructions. Very friendly. Full safety equipment. Originally we had booked for 12 and 2. However, we was contacted the day before and said we could both go out at the same time. One on the paddleboard and one on the e.foil then kept swapping for the 2hr slot. This made the experience better. Rodrigo gave great instructions to use the E.Foil. We would definitely recommend Sea4fun madeira. We will do it again when we return to this beautiful island.”
