5Great surf lesson
Really friendly staff and the instructor was great at taking the time to help everyone learn.
5Surf lessons with my 13 year old son & 8 years old daughter
Amazing staff, very friendly Very good value for money compared to some places we have been before. My kids loved it with them so much we went three times in our weeks holiday in Paço de Arcos...
5Perfect start
Perfect for just starting out. Before I knew it I was standing up on the board. The small class size needed a very active lesson for me. The other students were amazing to learn with.
5Amazing team
I had the best surfing time with this team! I’have never had a surf instructor who tried to push me and said let’s go and do it! Doesn’t matter if you are scared and a wave just washed you. It’s part of the process. I had three lessons with them and I could make a huge level up, thanks to them. Can’t thank enough and wait to surf with theese guys again. Big respect!
1AVOID
Booked experience within 3 days and could not attend due to illness, Business come back to me advising that they require 15 days notice to cancel, poor customer service and not looking out for customers. Will never use this service and wont recommend, other options in the area to go.
5Good experience
I joined a surf lesson in January 2025 as a beginner. The instructor was very knowledgeable about surfing and was always responsive to our questions and concerns. Despite some strong currents during that day, the instructor always cared about our safety and in the last part of the lesson he also encouraged us to try catching waves. I would hugely recommend such experience. Até a próxima vez!

About Cascais
Cascais is a former fishing village on the Atlantic coast west of Lisbon, with sheltered beaches, a seafront promenade and a royal past.
Cascais lies at the mouth of the Tagus estuary, roughly thirty kilometres west of Lisbon, and began as a fishing village. King Luís I made it the royal summer residence in 1870, and the aristocracy followed, building villas and palaces along the shore. The old centre has patterned stone pavements, a marina and small beaches tucked in the bay, and the Casa das Histórias Paula Rego is a museum of that painter's work in a red building.
