Who it's for
01
Never stood on a board? Neither have most of our students. We start on the sand and only go in when you feel ready.
02
Kids from age 8, always with an adult close by. Parents can join the same lesson.
03
We work on paddling, reading the waves and picking the right peak. Private lessons or groups by level.
How it works
01
Tell us how many you are, your level and the days you're here.
02
The night before, with the time and a map.
03
Technique on the sand, then knee-deep water and, when you are ready, your first wave.
04
Same day, to keep and show everyone who stayed on dry land.
The day before, Tiago checks the swell and the tide and chooses the safest spot for your level. The location comes by WhatsApp.
Where we teach
Beginners
A wide beach and slow, gentle waves. This is where almost everyone starts.
Intermediate
Ericeira's most famous wave, for those who can already stand up and want more.
Calm days
A sheltered bay up north, great for families when the swell is big.
Safety first
Tiago has been teaching for over 10 years and is a trained lifeguard (example). There are never more than 6 students per instructor. Every lesson is insured, and if the sea isn't right we move your lesson at no cost.

What if the sea isn't right?
Tiago lets you know the day before and your lesson moves to another day, at no cost.
Can you pick me up?
