Learn to surf in Matosinhos with a certified instructor, wetsuit, board, insurance, and small-group coaching for $34.

“It was so much fun! Even though the beach was a bit crowded our coach Ivan (sorry if i spell it wrong) was very organised and we didn’t feel squeezed. Also he was very good at explaining the basics of surfing. It was super clear, how to hold, how to fall, stand up etc. he was also very patient and kind to a beginner like me who didn’t manage to stand up, but he was always giving some encouragement words and that kept me motivated, because surfing is hard so motivation is also pretty important! Overall great experience! Thank you guys!Read more”
