SURF LESSONS IN PENICHE

Portugal is a true surfers’ paradise and Peniche is well-known as one of the best places to surf. The variety of surf spots in the area allows both beginners and experienced surfers to have an optimal surfing experience. Consistent and clean-running waves on the beaches provide excellent conditions for a great surf experience. The key to these conditions is the varied coastline, formed over time as the islands of Peniche and Baleal joined to the mainland, creating peninsulas with beaches facing in different directions.

In our surf school, you will be taught by our licensed and local instructors in English. We want to ensure good quality of our teaching which is why we never have more than 5 students per instructor and give individual coaching with personal feedback. Every day, depending on the wave conditions, you will be taken to the best spots in the region. We provide all the surf equipment necessary for the surf lessons and of course, if you have some power left, you can use it after the lesson for free.

GROUP Surf LESSONS

In our surf school we have group lessons of all levels, where students within one group have a similar surf level. We focus on increasing the progression of every individual student with a maximum of 5 persons per group.

PRIVATE surf LESSONS

You want to have all the attention just for yourself? Book a private surf lesson and increase your surf skills with a personal assistance in the water, including the analysis on video after. You can take private lessons at any surf level you are.
