Madeira New Wave surf sessions - Had an absolutely amazing time learning to surf! The instructors are so knowledgeable and so effortlessly combine learning with fun. There was always laughter and an air of easiness that made it such a privilege to be able to get into the water everyday. Thank you so much to everyone at Madeira New Wave! This has been an experience of a lifetime!

I caught some of the best waves of my life thanks to the New Wave Madeira Team! - I can't compliment the team at New Wave Madeira enough! My wife, my 9-year-old, my 6-year-old, and I booked 3 days of surfing lessons with New Wave Madeira. The 9- and 6-year-old bodyboarded, and my wife and I surfed. Andre and Margareta were both great teachers. Margareta was especially good with the kids, and Andre was fantastic all around. The lessons were in a group setting with varying skill levels, with some people having zero experience and others having more. Attention was given to everyone, and it seemed everyone improved and had a lot of fun. They selected appropriate surf breaks for beginners that would still offer good waves for beginner-plus surfers and family-friendly waves for our younger children. Overall, it was safe, fun, and high-quality. The photos are a great bonus! Carina was on shore during the lessons and got great photos of all of us. This is especially helpful for improving, as you can analyze what you might be doing wrong and right when catching a wave! My wife had never surfed before, and I surf whenever I can (a few times a year), but I never had lessons and was self-taught. My wife was standing and catching green waves on day one. All my bad habits from surfing without instruction were quickly identified, and great advice was given for improvement. I felt like I improved dramatically over the 3 days. After our lessons, I booked two days with a private guide with New Wave Madeira to check out another, more advanced wave. My guide, Miguel, was also a great teacher and helped me with wave selection and paddle timing, and gave me advice to improve my technique. He kept it safe but still challenged and encouraged me to catch waves at the edge of my ability, which is exactly what I was looking for in this experience. I caught some of the best waves of my life thanks to the New Wave Madeira Team!

Great Surfing lesson with friendly instructors :) - Fantastic surfing experience! Andre and Margarita were excellent instructors for me and my sister (26 and 30 y/os with no previous experience). They were kind, funny, clear and really patient. We loved going for a surf in the water at Maiata beach (lovely beach with lots of space for different schools to surf). The experience was great value for money, 2 h in the water with boards, wetsuits and pictures included (plus warm up beforehand). Would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in surfing!

Incredible experience - A stay in Madeira wouldn't be the same without trying surfing! At first, I wasn't sure if it was worth it, but I gave it a go and I don't regret it 😄 The instructors of Madeira New Wave made me feel safe and confident - they explained everything clearly before we went into the water and they watched over us the whole time. A team full of positive vibes, smiles, and passion! 🌊
