Private Surf Lessons (from 6 y.) in Vila Praia de Âncora

About the Activity

What to Expect

Enjoy a particularly private surfing experience at Praia de Vila Praia de Âncora or Praia de Moledo! At the beginning of the surf lessons, you will meet your surf instructor and receive all the equipment you need. Then we go to the beach where you will warm up, learn safety rules, and discuss the important basics of surfing and your previous surfing experience. After this, it's time to give it a try! The particularly personalised support and a maximum number of participants of 3 make it particularly easy to make rapid progress. The total duration of the lessons is 1.5 hours, with about 1 hour in the water, allowing you to enjoy the refreshing water and the sea breeze while you take your first steps towards becoming a proficient surfer or improve your skills further.

The surf centre offers changing rooms and a safe space to store personal belongings. This offer is ideal for beginners and intermediate surfers who want to progress particularly quickly. Praia de Âncora and Praia de Moledo are known for their excellent surfing conditions, with consistent waves and stunning coastal views that make your surfing experience unforgettable.

The course program covers essential skills. On the first day, beginners will learn how to stand and paddle on the surfboard and how to catch their first waves. On the following days, intermediate surfers will learn how to surf left and right, refining their skills. Each session is designed to build your confidence and abilities, ensuring you leave the course with a solid foundation in surfing.
