Intensive Surf Lessons (from 6 y.) in Vila Nova de Milfontes

If you are looking for a surf lesson in the beautiful region of Alentejo that allows you to focus on your technique and have more time for explanations and questions, our intensive surf lesson in Vila Nova de Milfontes is the perfect option for you. We will break the intensive course into 2 sessions. By choosing to practice two times a day (usually once in the morning and once in the afternoon), you will improve in no time while sharing new ideas with like-minded people and having a lot of fun.

Our lessons are designed for beginner, intermediate and advanced surfers who are ready to discover the local surf culture in a safe and positive environment. The minimum age is 6 years old. Our highly experienced and certified instructors are ready to help and guide you during your adventure. We want you to make the most out of your surfing lesson, that's why the maximum number of participants is 6 people per instructor.

During the second session, you will be able to practice what you learned in the water. We will take some pictures and make some videos while you surf and you will then analyse them with your instructor, who will correct your movements and your technique. In between the 2 sessions, we will have a break to relax, have a snack, drink some coffee and chill together on the beach. If you are ready to visit this unique area in the region of Alentejo and finally experience what surfing feels like, pack your swimsuit and your sunscreen and join us!
