One lesson changes your day. A program changes your surfing.

Our programs are built on a simple truth: real progress needs consecutive days in the water. Every program starts with three days of sessions and grows from there — with budget or premium accommodation included, so the only thing you have to think about is the next wave.

Travel solo or land with a small crew of friends or family — we shape the program around your level, from your very first wave to guided sessions around Porto.

Three programs. One method.

Coaching, coaching with yoga, or pure guiding — pick the rhythm that fits your trip. All start with three days. All include a place to stay.

THE MOST AMAZING SURF CAMP! My surf coach João told me he could get me to stand up on my first wave, even though I had only tried surfing once before, and he was actually right! Best surf instructor ever! Can't wait to come back again one day.

BEST PLACE TO GO IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO SURF! … From the very first lesson, I could immediately tell that it was different from other surf schools. The focus here is on quality and attention to detail, both in teaching and equipment. … He truly helped me in making significant progress and becoming a confident and independent surfer. The small class sizes and emphasis on individual learning and progression is what makes Surf Coaching Porto unique!
