our tips for

surf beginners

The best surfer out there is the one having the most fun

The first rule is to have fun, become one with the water and enjoy the best surf holidays in Portugal.

Do a short pre-surf warm-up

Before you strap on and paddle out, take five minutes to get your body ready for action with a pre-surf warm-up.

Exercise your paddling

The better you paddle, the more waves you catch, the quicker you progress. But don’t rush yourself, your muscles will grow step by step.

Don’t be afraid

We know that learning something new can be quite overwhelming, but take a deep breath and center yourself. Remember that this is something you want to do and something that you will most likely enjoy doing for the rest of your life.
