SURF LESSONS
With the wide variety of different types of waves, Portugal has become pretty much Europe’s hot spot for surfing. Aljezur has 3 beaches: Praia da Arrifana, Praia da Amoreira and last but not least Monte Clerigo which is closest. Here on the Western Algarve you will find the perfect waves for all surf lessons; beginner surfers, lazy longboard waves and fast barrels for short boarders.
SKATEBOARD LESSONS
Do you want to be familiarized with the wonderful skate world and, just like our team, learn how to cruise in the bowl. They teach you drop-ins, carving, graps, pumping and maintain your speed. If you have more experience, we will guide you to the next level.
SURF/SKATEBOARDS & WETSUITS
Choose from surfboards in all lengths, from shortboards and fishes, mini-malibus to longboards. These surfboards are from good, well-known brands such as Torq, Catch Surf, NSP, Ocean & Earth, BIC and Surftech. Wetsuits can also be provided, because the Atlantic Ocean is generally very fresh.
SURF COACHING
For more intermediate and advanced surfers we offer special Surf coaching with a special focus on flow, speed and turns using different techniques. Let yourself be trained by our coaches, so that we can take you to your next surf level.
