SURF
Our main mission is to guarantee the quality of surf education. The academy is led by the founder, sport director and national surf champion Francisco Canelas.
Surf lessons are held in Portimão and Costa Vicentina especially in summer.
Praia da Rocha
It is the most consistent wave on the south coast of Portugal and the ideal place to
start surfing. Nowadays we have hundreds of young people surfing in Portimão. The
safest and quietest place to learn to surf is in the middle of the beach, if you have any
level and like to challenge limits the peak that breaks next to the jetty is the most
demanding and desirable.
Costa Vicentina
The Algarve coast between Burgau and Odeceixe belongs to the Costa Vicentina and Sudoeste Alentejano Natural Park, the beach we most often visit is Vale Figueiras beach in the municipality of Aljezur, an excellent visit card of our country, incredible landscapes, lots of nature and good ripples. Here also happens the mythical “Open Vale Figueiras”.
