About the Activity

What to Expect

Learn to ride the stunning waves of the Atlantic Ocean in a private atmosphere and with full attention of your personal instructor with our private surf lessons in the amazing region of Sintra! Whether you're new to surfing and eager to get on the board for the first time, or an experienced surfer looking to enhance your skills, this is the perfect opportunity. With a professional expert by your side, you can achieve your personal goals and create unforgettable memories.

Alone or in a small group of maximum 5 participants, our professional surf instructors can focus on each participant and create a safe and enjoyable environment. First, you will start your session with a warm-up in the sand. You will then learn the most important theoretical basics about surfing and your surroundings. Afterwards, you will practise applying this knowledge and refine your technique on land. Once in the water, you will be able to try standing on the board and catch your first waves, or improve your existing skills with some new tips and tricks. Both ways, you can expect hours of adventure at the beach, which you will leave enriched by many new experiences.
