Surf School
Our surf school is based at Praia do Amado on the beautiful west coast about 25mins outside Lagos. Transfers are done in and around Lagos but if you have your own transport you are more than welcome to join us as well. (Please always enquire in advance or call)

Amado beach boasts the best conditions for beginners in the Algarve and hence it is where we have our beach hut and mostly conduct our lessons. We have a number of surf courses for beginners available. We also have body boards and fins for hire.

Surf Lessons
All lessons are taught by qualified BSA (British Surf Instructor) and FPS (Portuguese Surf Federation) coaches. Each teacher has a maximum of 10 students and lessons are generally 2 sessions of 1,5 hours each day breaking for a supplied lunch consisting of water, fruit, sandwiches, crisps, biscuits etc. (Please inform us of any special dietary requirements)

All equipment is supplied (surfboard, wetsuit, leash, rash vest etc) and you are taught how to handle the equipment in a safe environment. Shade is also supplied.

Don't worry if you have no experience whatsoever, this is why we are here. Our beginner's lessons are taught in waist deep water riding the white water only. You will be taught everything from standing technique's to learning to turn and finally paddling outside and learning how to catch ‘green' (unbroken) waves. The latter usually needs 3-5 days of lessons to reach this level.

Your day ends when your muscles are sore or you just don't fancy burning yourself out too much – it's up to you. You might fancy participating in a calming session of yoga (Tues & Thurs) as the sun sets or maybe just quietly sitting down with a sundowner at the beach café watching the rollers coming in and reflecting on what was another beautiful day in the Algarve. For those not wanting to surf but would like to come for the ride, please contact us for availability. We usually charge €15 for the trip and includes lunch.
