Head to one of the most consistent beaches on the Cascais coastline for a 2-hour surf lesson. Get kitted out with a wetsuit and a surfboard adapted to your level.

Start with a theoretical introduction, learning essential concepts such as ocean safety, surf rules and etiquette, board positioning, paddling techniques, wave approach, and correct standing technique.

Next, warm up to prepare your body for the physical demands of surfing and help prevent injuries. Then, hit the water to apply the techniques you’ve learned, with close supervision from your certified instructor.

After your lesson, make use of the surf school’s facilities, including bathroom access, open-air showers, and lockers, allowing you to change clothes and safely store your personal belongings.
