Ellie_I, Mar 2025
Felipe and Bruno were awesome! Such a fun time and they really taught us helpful techniques for surfing. We also booked transportation to and from the beach and they gave us a lot of great facts and history of Lisbon. Felt safe and comfortable with them, was a great experience and worth it!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you for your amazing feedback! 🌊🏄‍♂️ We're so happy to hear that Felipe and Bruno made your experience unforgettable, teaching you useful surf techniques and sharing great insights about Lisbon. Our goal is to make sure you feel safe, comfortable, and, of course, have an incredible time! We hope to see you again for more epic waves! 🤙✨

Absolutely worth it, my girlfriend who never surfed was better than me by the end of the day

Drew_D, Sep 2024
Spend the money to have friendly professional teachers teach you how to do it right. We were fortunate enough to get squared up with Nuno, who was a blast! Helpful information along the way, positive attitude and great technique tips, and spoke English to me because I'm dumb and speak only one language. The whole crew was super nice and efficient, a ten star experience if you have no idea where or how to surf while in the greater Lisbon area. Even if you do there's something to learn and it's an afternoon well spent!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you so much, Drew, for your fantastic 5-star review! 🌟 We’re so happy to hear that you had a blast with Nuno and that the whole crew made your experience enjoyable. 🏄‍♂️ No worries about speaking just one language – we’re glad we could make sure everything went smoothly for you! 😊 Whether you're a beginner or experienced, we’re thrilled you had a great time and learned some new tips. We hope to see you again soon for more fun on the waves!

Worst experience ever

Anca_T, Jul 2024
I had the worst experience of my life. Ruined the day and service was not provided. I've never experience anything like this ever. Worst worst experience ever. Do not recommand. Save your time and money.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Unfortunately we have done everything we could. The customer made a reservation for a Group Experience with the pick up at the Lisbon Zoo, didn´t readed well his reservation and thought that the pick up was at their place. I explained that the pick up at participants place is only for Private reservations. It is not possible for us to pick up all different participants for group experiences at different places.. We would never get to the beach.. The costumer agreed to meet us at the Zoo by 9h. Next morning we were at the Zoo by 9h as agreed, all the other group participants were there on time except this customer. We asked the other customers if we could wait 15 minutes for this customer but he didnt show up until 9h15, and so we left to the beach without him. We sent a message with the location of the beach for the customer to meet us there, but the customer didn´t answered. At the beach the lesson started already with a delay, and after all the participants dressed the wetsuits, we explained the surf theoric and safety rules, and while we were about to enter the ocean (30minutes lesson already passed) the customer showed up and asked if he could join now. Unfortunately we couldn´t stop the lesson because of this customer, we couldn´t prejudice more the other participants that didnt have any fault for him to be late. The customer didn´t understand and did this unfair review. It`s very sad. We try to do our best, but sometimes it´s not possible to make everyone happy. We will never prejudice the customers that know what they reserved, that arrived on time for the experience and respect our work in lack of those that dont know what they reserved, that want a special treatment without caring about the other participants and our staff.

Awesome relaxed experience

Lucy_P, May 2024
Absolutely loved my time with Filipe and his crew! I felt so relaxed surfing with them, they were so friendly and welcoming! Going on my own, I felt immediately comfortable with all the coaches, and the beach was absolutely perfect for beginners! When I got back to Lisbon in a couple of months, I will definitely have some more lessons with the Get Stoked team

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you so much, Lucy, for your amazing 5-star review! 🌟 We’re so happy to hear you felt relaxed and comfortable with Filipe and the team – making sure everyone feels welcome is something we truly care about. 🏄‍♀️ It’s fantastic that the beach was perfect for beginners, and we can’t wait to have you back for more lessons when you return to Lisbon! 😊

Great surfing experience near the beaches of Lisbon

CristianFelix_P, Dec 2023
Miguel, our surf instructor, was a blast. Loved his energy and his knowledge of Portugal and it's history. The surfing lesons were great, he took time for every single surfer and kept encouraging everybody. We also had good luck with weather, it was a sunny day in between rainy ones.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! 🌟 We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time with Miguel! His energy and passion for both surfing and sharing the history of Portugal truly make the experience special. 🏄‍♂️😊 We're also happy that the weather worked in your favor!

Nico_S, Jun 2022
Really nice and professional trainers, knew a lot about weather and wave conditions, we booked for 2x2 hours but the weather wasn’t ideal in the afternoon so we even got a refund for the second round. The trainers payed attention to every participant, gave small instructions on what to improve so we were able to surf quite a lot of waves on the first try. Thank you again, definitely a recommendation

Highly recommended!

Amazing experience. Our instructor Nuno was the best. He was incredibly supportive and a great teacher. He was an excellent conversationalist. His love of surfing could only be matched by his knowledge of Lisbon. This was a great way to see another side of the city. P.s. you will love surfing after this.
