A must! - Wonderful experience! Initially, I had a bit of fear, but the guy who guided us made me feel comfortable right away! We were a small group of 4 people, so we were really well taken care of and attended to! We were provided with a wetsuit and board, and after warming up and some technical and safety instructions, we entered the water! The waves were wonderful, and we were followed one by one until we gradually gained independence in our movements. A wonderful experience, highly recommended!

18/04/2026 - Today I had my first experience of surfing on the Gecko with the Mariana on the Costa da Caparica, and it was simply fantastic. Besides the excitement of learning something new, what really made the difference was the team of extremely professional instructors, attentive and always creating a relaxed and comfortable environment. They made us feel super comfortable from the very beginning, which made the whole experience even more special. Without a doubt an amazing team and an experience to repeat!

Exciting experience - Really nice experience. Chill and positive atmosphere. The instructors give you some rules after stretching on the beach and then they assist you in the water. I would do it again!

Great experience a Praia Santo Antonio - Pedro and his team were real professional. Provided the right techniques. The area is great to learn with some smaller waves. My kids enjoyed it so much they want to continue surfing after the class was done. We rented boards from them a few days later to continue practicing. Thank you again Pedro and team
