Amazing surf classes - I enjoyed some real fun classes in Carcavelos. The teachers are all great and have lots of knowledge and passion. There were good vibes, big smiles and nice waves. A big shoutout to Salvador, who always had my back, and to Danny, who encouraged me non-stop. :)

Great surfing - Our instructor Pedro couldn’t have been better making sure everyone managed to surf by the end of the lesson. If we could have managed we would have went back the next day! Well worth the money!

Great spot and great staff - Awesome shop with great staff! Easily 5/5
Any vacation time I get, I’m doing a surf trip, and it’s normally cheaper to rent boards than fly with my own. I came to these guys on my first day staying in Carcavelos. I normally surf “advanced” boards but didn’t realize I needed to reserve the advanced boards online beforehand. You can rent “intermediate” or “beginner” boards at the shop so I ended up renting an “intermediate” board that was 5’8 kinda all around board with a lotta float.
The board treated me well for the six days I was in the area surfing: tubes, turns, and some failed airs!
The staff is super nice and let me keep my bag inside the shop while surfing which was nice peace of mind while I was out in the water. The guys speak Portuguese (of course), English, and some Spanish so communication was no issue. They also gave me a quick locals explanation of the carcavelos wave which helped me understand it faster than if I were figuring out the spot on my own.
Fair prices for the boards and everything too. If I come back, I’m definitely going back to them.

Amazing experience - My brother and I took our first ever surf class and it was amazing. We took two classes and I fell in love with surfing. We learned so much. Time flew by so fast. I loved going into the ocean and getting on the board. The teachers are so nice and they make you feel like you can do anything. I hope I get to come back soon!
