Matosinhos Surf Class
Activity Details
Ready to release adrenaline and become kings of the waves for a day? We’ll meet and head to Matosinhos Beach, the perfect setting to ride the Atlantic. Once there, our team will welcome you and provide the equipment best suited to your level and build: a surfboard and a high-quality wetsuit.
Before heading into the sea, we’ll give a clear and engaging explanation on the sand. This stage is essential to make the most of the experience, as you’ll learn the correct pop-up technique, proper body position to keep your balance, and basic safety and respect rules in the water. This is the key moment to build confidence!
Then comes the most anticipated part. We’ll get into the water to enjoy a full hour of real practice. You’ll have constant support from the instructor, who’ll help you paddle correctly, catch your first waves, and improve your stability in a safe and fun way. The session is dynamic and fully adapted to each person’s pace.
After enjoying the true feeling of surfing, we’ll return to our facilities to change and chat about the best moments of the day before ending the activity.
