A Family’s First Surfing Adventure

Our family trip to Portugal was filled with excitement and spontaneity, and one of the highlights was our surfing adventure in Cascais. As a mother of three, I always look for activities that are both fun and educational for my children. When we stumbled upon the opportunity to try surfing, I knew it was something we couldn’t pass up.

The day started with a warm welcome from Andre and his team at Salt Souls. They were incredibly accommodating, answering all our questions and ensuring we felt comfortable. My children, aged 7 and 10, were thrilled to be trying something new, and I was eager to see how they would take to the waves.

The instructors were fantastic, providing a perfect balance of theory and practice. We began with a fun warm-up on the shore, which helped ease any nerves. The kids were giggling and excited, and I could see their confidence growing with each step. The instructors made sure to give each of us individual attention, making the experience feel personal and tailored to our needs.

Riding the Waves Together

Once we hit the water, the real adventure began. The instructors guided us through the process, ensuring we understood the basics before attempting to catch our first wave. It was a joy to watch my children conquer their fears and ride the waves with smiles on their faces.

The sense of accomplishment was palpable, and I couldn’t help but feel proud of my little surfers. The instructors were patient and encouraging, making the experience enjoyable for all of us. It felt like we were learning from friends rather than strangers, which added to the overall enjoyment of the day.

After our lesson, the team offered to let the kids stay at their camp, but we had other plans for the day. However, the experience was so positive that we decided to book a second lesson for the following day. This time, we ventured to a different beach with slightly higher waves, providing a new challenge for our budding surfers.

A Lasting Impression

Our second lesson was just as enjoyable as the first, if not more so. The instructors continued to impress with their professionalism and dedication to teaching. The higher waves added an extra thrill, and my children were eager to tackle them head-on.

The experience left a lasting impression on our family, and we all agreed that surfing was something we wanted to continue exploring. The combination of fun, learning, and family bonding made it a perfect activity for us.

For families considering a surfing adventure in Portugal, I highly recommend Cascais Surf Adventure for both group and individual lessons. The value for money is exceptional, and the memories created are priceless. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or a complete beginner, the team at Salt Souls will ensure you have an unforgettable experience.

As we continue our travels, I look forward to finding more activities that bring joy and learning to our family adventures. Until then, the waves of Cascais will remain a cherished memory for us all.
