BOOK WITH THEM! RECOMMEND! - MUST DO!! had so much fun surfing and instructors were a blast. They were funny, helpful, and wanted you to have the best experience. Going back tomorrow to do it again. For the price too you can’t beat it!

Great surf time in Porto! - Fantastic surfing adventure with knowledgable and charming instructor. Had great times and also included surf videos of myself. The surfing class lasted 30 minutes beyond what was advertised. I couldn't be happier!

Best place to go if you want to learn how to surf! - I highly recommend Joao and Surf Coaching Porto! I spent a year in Porto and regularly took lessons with Joao throughout that time. From the very first lesson, I could immediately tell that it was different from other surf schools. The focus here is on quality and attention to detail, both in teaching and equipment. If you're looking to learn how to surf with good technique, this is the place to be. Joao doesn't mind if the lesson goes over the scheduled time; he's more concerned about everyone having a great surf session. He truly helped me in making significant progress and becoming a confident and independent surfer. The small class sizes and emphasis on individual learning and progression is what makes Surf Coaching Porto unique!

Great time with amazing fun instructors - We had a great time with Joao and Rui in a small group of 6. They were amazing instructors and lots of fun! Everyone got up standing on waves and had a good laugh. Great technique training and awareness of safety

highly recommend - My friend and I decided to go surfing on our short trip in Porto, one of the best decisions! I highly recommend, our instructors were great and we had an amazing time!

Best experience ever - It was the greatest experience I've ever had. Surfing for the first time was unknown territory for us, but having João as our guide made all the difference. I highly recommend trying surfing with João when you're in Porto. Just trust me, you won't regret it.

Surfing with friends - Joao is a really good coach who takes time for every single person. He gave us a lot of help and indidivual tips since we didn`t know how to surf. It was really fun with him and we all left happy with some small successes. The price was top and we really enjoyed the time there. Hopefully we can manage to come back soon! :)

Great experience - Joao was a great teacher from on the sand to continued follow up through the lesson. I went to missing every wave to catching nearly every wave at the end. If I was still in Portugal I would book more lessons.

Let's take off! - Great tutor! The conditions were perfect for our level. Groups are small so everyone can get personal attention from the instructor.

I wish I had more thumbs to put up!! - I had several surf coaches throughout my roadtrip around Portugal but my experience with João was absolutely unparalleled! João sincerely cares about delivering top quality surf coaching in every aspect: First and foremost João and no other will be your coach. This gave me so much peace of mind when booking, not having to wonder who will end up being my coach, as opposed to when booking with a big surf school. João has an incredible amount of experience surfing professionally as well as teaching and it shows! The adjustments he offered for my pop up technique and surf stance have been a game changer!! The equipment I received from João has also been the best of my entire trip - brand new, top quality boards and perfectly fitted, pristine wetsuits…it really makes a difference and everything is handled with so much care it‘s great to see :) Even after my departure from Porto João was incredibly kind to help me find surf spots around the country, checking surf cams for me and sharing advice which should give you an idea of the kind of person he is! I wholeheartedly recommend and hope to be back soon!
