About us

Built by surfers, for surfers.

We're a small crew of locals who teach surf because we love what Ericeira gives us every morning. This coast is a World Surf Reserve — over 40 quality breaks within a short drive. We pick the right wave for your level, every session.

Whether you've never touched a board or you're chasing your first green wave, you'll be in the water with someone who actually surfs here when class is over.

Got questions? We've got you.

Do I need to know how to swim?+

Yes — basic comfort in the water is required. You don't need to be a strong swimmer, but you should be able to handle yourself in waist-deep water.

What if it's raining?+

Lessons run rain or shine — you're getting wet anyway. We only cancel for unsafe surf or lightning.

What should I bring?+

Swimwear, a towel, water, sunscreen. We provide the wetsuit, board and everything else.

Can I bring my own board?+

Of course. Just let us know when booking — we'll match you with the right group.

How early should I book?+

48 hours ahead is safe. Peak summer weeks (July–August) fill up — book a week in advance to lock your spot.

What if I'm a complete beginner?+

Perfect. Most of our students are. We start on dry land and have you up on whitewater the same session.

Do you offer gift vouchers?+

Yes. Send us a message with the package you'd like and we'll send you a printable voucher.

What if the surf is too big the day of my lesson?+

We move the lesson to a sheltered spot or reschedule for free. Safety first, always.
