Seb 

Head Surf Coach

"This will be my 5th year as a Surf Instructor and 3rd year teaching in the Algarve! We’ve got a great team of instructors, who will get you up and riding in no time. The waves here are perfect for learning, not too big and nice and mellow. We love sharing the stoke with our guests as they catch their first waves!" "

Feel like your surfing is not progressing? You’re out of the white water but your wave count isn’t something to write home about.

Working with Jan, our specialist Intermediate Surf Coach, you'll have fantastic coaching to progress your surfing in just 1 week. 

At the beginning of the week, we'll access your level and group you with others of the same level. Starting off on fun sized waves to work on technique and moving onto bigger waves by the end of the week to push your surfing to the next level! 

• Using channels to get out back using less energy
• Positioning yourself in the line up to be in the best spot to catch waves
• Reading the waves - no more paddling for waves that don’t break! 
• Forecasts - learn how to read forecasts and choose the right spot for you

• Test out different boards! You’re not limited to foamies on our surf trips
