Activity description

Learn surfing with professional lessons in Oporto’s best learning beach!

The surfing group courses are focused on initiating new surfers or perfecting the techniques of those with previous experience. Beginners can have their first taste on the board and get in love with this amazing sport with an introductory class.

Those who want to join the wave community can take a 5 day course in which they will master the basics and become independent surfers. If what you want is to become a master surfer, then a 10 day course is what you need. In both cases, you will share the experience with a group of people that will surely become buddies!

After being briefed by your coaches at school, you will get your equipment. Depending on the group’s level, you will practice at the beach or go directly into the water and practice. The important thing is you will have a lot a fun and your instructor will take good care of you!

Surfaventura aims to provide the participants with all necessary knowledge so they can practice in total safety.
