We will be back... - All in all, great. The surf school is located right on the beach. If you stay at the hotel star inn peniche, you even get a discount on the courses. In general, all surf instructors are very kind and dedicated, you can feel their passion for what they do. We would definitely return right there again. Best regards Christine & Christin

Best Surf Experience - Great surf school and super surf instructors, Edgar is the best. I learnt a lot in 5 days and had a lot of fun. The surf school is well equipped and in an ideal location, within walking distance of the beach at the perfect surf spot. See you next year

Can’t recommend enough - Everyone went from not being able to do anything on a surfboard to stand up within 2 hours of surfing. Special thanks to Alfonso and Fransisco, for being funny and helpful

One of the best surf lessons I had !!🤩🤩🤩 - Excellent ! 👌🏻👌🏻 Nuno and his team are very professional and hearty. Spécial mention to Francisco 🤗. Each lesson start with warming and finish with a debriefing. Instructions to improve surfing are very constructive and personnal. The school is very well located right t across from the beach. There"s a space to change and hot showers (so nice :)). And must of all they are really friendly. I hardly recommend !

Being home - It is all about the people and if a company works starts with the boss Nuno. He is lovely and so he hires only lovely instructors and coaches. We love being in the sometimes frightening ocean with the people of special surf 78. Kind regards Jorge+4 😍
