Meeting & Preparation We meet at our Beach Hut on Praia da Arrifana 10 minutes before the appointed time. There is a bus stop approximately 500 m from the beach. There is also a free parking area nearby for those who come by car. To start, you'll get to know your group and your surf instructor. If you have any valuables with you, we'll keep them safe for the duration of the course. Before the lesson starts, we will give you all the necessary equipment consisting of a wetsuit or rash guard and, most importantly, the surfboard. The course consists of 1.5hrs in the water or 2x 1.5hrs in the water for the full-day-options. Outside of the water, you will learn as much as in the water and can take breaks in between to refuel your energy.

Start time The start time depends on the tides to ensure the best conditions, so please plan some extra time on the day of your surf lessons. The exact start times are available 2 days in advance. We will inform you in time after you have completed the booking.
