Amazing staff and beatiful setting. - I had a great surf lesson with my 2 daughters. When we arrived, all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Our time slot was 9:00 am and the instructor was Rodrigo. He was very friendly and made us feel less nervous. He gave us clear instructions all through the session. we were in the water for 90 mins. It was only 3 of us ! so we had plenty of time surfing instructed by Rodrigo. My daughters loved the whole experience and hopefully, we will come back again one day. Thank you so much, guys!

Excellent Surf Lesson at Galé Beach - One of the highlights of a 1.5 week trip to Albufeira with friends and family was the amazing time I had at a surf lesson at Galé Beach. As someone that has never previously surfed before I would definitely recommend the surf lessons at Albufeira Surf & SUP. My friend, sister and I booked a general 1 surf lesson. Upon arrival we were greeted by our friendly instructor Rodrigo. Once everyone had arrived we were all provided a wetsuit and a surf board. We were also able to store any for our belongings safely in the shack for the duration of the lesson. The lesson comprised of instruction both on the beach and in the water, with the majority of the time spent in the water. The water was lovely and there was a great mix of larger and smaller wave to suit your skill level. Rodrigo’s guidance really made the experience what it was - he is kind, outgoing nature made us feel comfortable and at ease. With his clear but detailed instructions were easy to understand and enabled us to quickly achieve success on the surf board. In the ocean he personally helped each and everyone one of the students - providing tips for better success, correcting any mistakes that he had noted, and provided lot of appropriated encouragement. My friend, sister and I all felt very supported and all ended up successfully able to catch some waves on our own - even riding them fully standing up on the board a couple of times even though no of us had any prior surfing experience. The only regret we had was booking the lesson so late in our trip. I would I have booked multiple lessons. It has encouraged me to keep it up.

First surfing lesson and already surfing - I had booked a lesson with my 2 daughters aged 13 and 15 and we were also lucky to have a total of 4, so almost private lessons. There was a lot of wind this day and it was difficult for the youngest to carry the board to the beach. On the beach we first received instructions about currents and surfing and quickly went into the sea. Was a very good instructor and (with his help) we quickly managed to catch our first waves! Unfortunately, it was too hard for the youngest to get into the water with the wind and waves, but the instructor took some extra time at the end to catch some waves alone with her, we thought it was one of the coolest experiences ever! Absolutely recommended
