Highly recommend!

We had a great time learning to surf in Lisbon. The instructors were friendly and gave all of us ample opportunity to surf. We were all able to get up on the board (2 adults and 2 young teenagers) and enjoy the waves!

Great teachers

Had an absolutely amazing lesson and was able to catch a bunch of waves. Would definitely come back. Warning to cruise travelers: The lesson itself is 3 hours (not including the included transportation) so take that into account when planning. We were did the 9:00am meet up so we were fine but definitely don’t cut it close.
