Your activity

São Miguel Island is also known for being one of the best places to surf in Europe, with long sandy beaches of volcanic origin on both the north and south coasts, making the surfing conditions perfect for beginners and intermediate surfers.

Beginner surfers have the opportunity to learn the sport of surfing step by step with a professional instructor. Intermediate surfers, on the other hand, have the chance to surf more freely and independently while exploring the Azorean sea.

SURF CLASSES

Learn to surf in some of the most beautiful spots on the island;
Get out of your comfort zone and venture into the water to try out new moves under the supervision of our experienced guide;
Take an individual lesson or with family/friends for a fun group activity;
Possibility of a transfer service to/from your accommodation.

NOTE: Suitable for most ages. No previous experience is necessary, you just need to be comfortable in the water and know how to swim.

Itinerary

This activity is aimed at beginners and intermediate surfers. Each session lasts 2 hours and the time/place will be decided depending on the sea conditions.

At the activity location, we will give a brief introduction to the sport and what will happen during the lesson. Next, we will warm up on the sand, which will include some fundamental exercises for surfing. After the warm-up, we will go on to explain some techniques, practicing their movement while still on land. Finally, we will be ready to get into the water and catch our first wave!

Surf lessons usually take place at Milícias beach, on the South Coast, or at Santa Bárbara beach, on the North Coast. However, there are other possibilities, depending on the group’s abilities and the sea conditions (swell, wind, tide, etc.) on the day of the activity. The day before the activity, clients will be informed of the place/time of the activity, as well as all the details.
