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

Super dedicated surf instructors, good material, safe care, even for children (and their not-so-young parents) - We were totally happy at surf school. We booked two hours of classes for us parents (over 40) and our children (9 and 12 years). Although the weather was very bad (rain, stormy), we had a lot of fun and managed to get up on our own, stand on the board and surf all the way to the beach in the end. The surf instructors were incredibly dedicated, were in the water with us the whole time, helped us on the board again and again, always gave suitable tips, looked after our youngest especially closely (almost 1:1). We felt safe and secure.

Good location, good instructors - Had a realy nice week here. Had lessons for 4 days. The surfinstructors were very nice. Surfschool is located near the beach so you can change your surfboard realy quick. Very good price. keep in mind that you are tied to certain times because of the tide.
