FACTS ABOUT OUR SURF SCHOOL IN PENICHE
Location
Peniche is one of the best places to learn surfing with endless beach-breaks. From 10 minutes by car we will find the perfect surf spot with different kinds of waves suiting to the surf level of our students.
Small Groups
We value quality, not quantity!
That is why there are not more than 5 people per instructor in the group. It’s important for us to give personal feedback and assistance to improve the surfing of our students.
Qualified Instructors
We work only with the best local surf instructors which have over 10 years experience in their job. They assist you in the water and give you direct feedback.
Total duration
Every surf session lasts around 2 h, as we drive to different spots to search for the right one for the given conditions. The surf lesson itself is then scheduled for one and a half hours with practice in the water and on land.
WHATS INCLUDED IN OUR SURF LESSONS AND COACHINGS
Transportation & Insurance
We pick the best spot regarding your level and the current conditions. You’re fully insured while surfing with us and don’t have to think about how to get to the beach. We do that for you!
Practise and Theory
Surfing is not only standing up on a board and ride a wave. That is why it is important for us to teach also the theoretical background and surf conditions to our students.
Excellent Equipment
We provide well-maintained wetsuits and surfboards which are of course included if you take a surf lesson with us.
Video Analysis
To ensure the improving of your surfing we will record you on the wave to analyze how you are positioned on the wave. This offer is included in group and private lessons also as surf coaching.

WE PREFER QUALITY - NOT QUANTITY!
Our goal is to teach you in the best way as possible. That is why the policy of our surf school is to have small groups with individual feedback. That includes on the one hand explanations of surf theory on land and on the other hand advise in the water. Either if you’re a beginner or experienced surfer we will make sure to find the best way of teaching while you have fun in the waves of Portugal.
