The group lesson was a great introduction to surfing in Porto. The instructor started with a clear explanation on the beach, covering safety and basic technique before we entered the water. Once in the waves, there was constant encouragement and practical feedback. It felt challenging but very enjoyable.

I liked the group dynamic a lot. Even though everyone was at slightly different levels, the instructor managed to give individual tips while keeping the energy high. There was a supportive atmosphere, which made it easier to keep trying after falling.

The session was well organized from start to finish. Equipment was ready on time, and the warm-up helped build confidence before heading into the water. It didn’t feel rushed, and there was plenty of actual practice.
