I had such a great week with Surf in Ericeira! My coaches, Marcelo and Pedro, were honestly awesome — super skilled, super attentive, and always bringing this motivating, positive energy into every session 🙌 The waves were powerful all week, but they encouraged me, noticed every detail, and gave me clear, useful tips (including some I’d never heard before). They supported me when I hesitated, helped me feel more confident in the Atlantic (which usually intimidates me), and I really felt my technique improve. One day we did video analysis, and Marcelo shared with me the footage with a lot of personalised advice based on what he saw — paddling, technique, timing, wave reading — plus a few things to work on even when I’m not surfing. I really appreciated that a lot! I left this week genuinely happy and would love to come back to keep progressing with them 💙

Vasco war der perfekte Lehrer – trotz schwieriger Wellen und Wind hat er alles gut erklärt und mir echt geholfen, besser zu werden. Der Vibe war entspannt und alle waren super freundlich. Ich hab viel gelernt und hatte mega Spaß. Kann die Schule und Vasco auf jeden Fall empfehlen!

I had my very first surf lesson in Ericeira with Vasco, and it was an amazing experience! At first, I felt a mix of nerves and excitement, but Vasco made me feel super safe, confident, and motivated. Thanks to his great teaching, I was able to stand up on my very first wave! 🌊 I can highly recommend the surf school to anyone who is around!

I had such amazing surf sessions with Vasco and Marcelo! Even when the conditions were quite challenging, I always felt super safe in the water. They’re both incredibly professional, attentive, and encouraging, always giving personalized feedback that helped me improve a lot, especially in wave reading, positioning, and timing. I left the beach with a big smile every time — honestly the best surf school in Ericeira. Highly recommend to anyone who’s around! 🤙✨
