My first experience at the shore - and it was great.
I only did riversurfing before and wasn't sure if I could catch a wave - after a short introduction and help from the guide, it did work out pretty well!
With the good hints of Joao I could improve further and further in this short time!
Joao really knows what he does, he has a good feeling and is carying.
Thanks for this good start into a new world!
I wish I had more thumbs to put up!!

I had several surf coaches throughout my roadtrip around Portugal but my experience with João was absolutely unparalleled!
João sincerely cares about delivering top quality surf coaching in every aspect:

First and foremost João and no other will be your coach. This gave me so much peace of mind when booking, not having to wonder who will end up being my coach, as opposed to when booking with a big surf school.
João has an incredible amount of experience surfing professionally as well as teaching and it shows!
The adjustments he offered for my pop up technique and surf stance have been a game changer!!

The equipment I received from João has also been the best of my entire trip - brand new, top quality boards and perfectly fitted, pristine wetsuits…it really makes a difference and everything is handled with so much care it‘s great to see :)

Even after my departure from Porto João was incredibly kind to help me find surf spots around the country, checking surf cams for me and sharing advice which should give you an idea of the kind of person he is!

I wholeheartedly recommend and hope to be back soon!
Dont doubt, just book

Joao is a very good teacher. I had my first surf lessons with him last year. Now I was in France on another surf experience. Nothing compared to the advice and techniques Joao teached me. Including warm up, details, guest experience, safety, friendliness, dedication and intrest. Really, if you are still in doubt, don't, this is the teacher you have to book. He really learned me everything in a short period of time with great eye for detail. Really to recommend.
Let's take off!

Great tutor! The conditions were perfect for our level. Groups are small so everyone can get personal attention from the instructor.
