Reviews

Filipe and Lidia are truly exceptional coaches! I've found the surf program to be incredibly personalized to suit my needs. They go above and beyond to assist you in selecting the perfect board, identifying the optimal surf spots for practice, and providing constructive feedback to refine your technique. Their approach makes you feel like a valued athlete, and the positive challenges they present truly elevate your skills. After just a month, I've seen a remarkable improvement in my surfing abilities. I think I'll be back for more – it's been an incredible experience!

Krystian Mistrzak

Without a doubt the best surf school out there. Filipe and Lidia are the absolute best in the business. This wasn't a surf school - this was an entire surf immersion learning about the culture, local spots in Ericeira, how to read waves, etc. And that isn't even touching on the amazing work they did to expedite my surf skills over the course of a month - they packed years of learning into a few weeks! I can't recommend them enough, and I know I personally will be back. Thanks Filipe and Lidia for everything!!

Kevin Zhao

I had the most amazing (1-month) experience with Lídia and Filipe! Not only they helped me identify and break down the aspects that were keeping me from progressing in surfing, they gave me the tools and confidence to push my boundaries and apply those into more challenging conditions. Overall, I achieved all my goals and some! Learned immensely! Had a lot of fun, and made two friends along the way! Highly HIGHLY recommend!! (And hope to do it again!)
