A Truly Unforgettable Experience

It was honestly one of the best experiences I could have asked for during my time in Porto, and one of the most fun I’ve ever had traveling overseas. HUGE shoutout to Kaiki for working with me to make sure I was able to surf well, and Nunu for being so friendly and welcoming! You guys are the best - from the bottom of my heart, thank you!! I’ll see you when I get back to Porto 😁

It was a first time trying surfing – thanks to other recommendations to go for it. Great instructions for a beginner, all questions answered, the decent gear and I loved the neon yellow t-shirts for safety. Most importantly – fun!

Une expérience incroyable !!! Merci aux organisateurs pour leur accueil et leur professionnalisme, merci à notre instructeur Bernardo qui a été très à l'écoute de notre groupe et qui a réussi à nous faire tenir un temps soit peu debout sur nos planches en moins de 2h !! Je recommande vivement, très bon rapport qualité/prix pour une expérience très amusante !!!
