Discover surfing on the amazing Praia da Rocha, known for its clean waters, stunning landscapes and excellent learning conditions.

This class is designed for those who want to start surfing or improve their technique in a relaxed and safe environment.

We start with a simple explanation in the sand, where you will learn the essential basics: how to float, position yourself on the board and get up correctly. Then we head to the water with close follow-up from the instructors, always adapted to your level.

We work with small groups to ensure individual attention, more practice time and faster evolution.

The choice of the class area is made daily to ensure the best sea conditions, providing a safe and fun experience.
