Description
Experience the thrill of surfing with a 1-day surf course at Matosinhos Beach, just outside Porto. Upon arrival at the surf school, you’ll be welcomed by certified instructors and fitted with the perfect surfboard and wetsuit for your skill level. With a maximum group size of eight, you’ll receive personalized guidance throughout your lesson.
Start with a theory session on the sand, learning about wave dynamics, safety, and the right warm-up techniques. Practice the essential 'pop-up' on the beach before heading into the water to catch your first waves. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, your instructor will tailor the session to your ability—more advanced surfers can try catching green waves.
After your 1.5-hour surf session, enjoy the lively atmosphere of Praia do Matosinhos, with its beachfront cafés and restaurants. This lesson is ideal for anyone eager to discover the joy of surfing in a friendly, supportive environment on Portugal’s scenic coast.
