      Had a blast!
      We were recommended Go Surf Lisboa by a friend who lives in Lisbon and were not disappointed. Having no real surfing experience, we booked the 5 day course. Every day we learned something new, starting from the take-off technique and the basics of timing for catching your own waves, to the theory of forecast and the nature of water in motion! The whole team? Everyone was extremely professional, helpful and surprise, surprise, hella charming too eyy ;) Don’t hesitate just book x Mathilde & Ieva

      Great!
      Really great choice for surfing lessons. I had lots of communication with them beforehand as I wasn't sure if I wanted to meet them at the beach or get the transfer. They were really helpful and I meet them at the beach, it was really easy to find them.

      Brilliant experience, thank you Manu.
      Booked this a month or so in advance for 16 lads. Manu helped us from start to finish. The experience was brilliant. It's an amazing beach with a lovely bar there too. 100% recommend.

      Great surf school!
      I did several surf sessions and everyone, especially Manu, Philip, and Pedro were super kind and lovely people, and great at teaching!! I would highly recommend them. I only missed out one star because some of the other surf instructors who were new perhaps spent most lessons surfing themselves instead of teaching.

      The best surfing school and awesome people
      I highly recommend for beginners and also for people who have experience with surfing and want to improve their technique or just want to surf on beautiful beach near to Lisbon. I very glad that I chose GoSurfLisboa for my surfing lessons. Guys are awesome instructors with lot of experience and professional approach and still friendly and fun. Thank you that I could be part of your surfing family at least for few days. See you next year. ;)

      Awesome surf school!!!
      This surf school is AWESOME! I've been doing lessons with Gosurf Lisboa for the past 2 months. I've been surfing on and off for the past 4 years (a week here and there) always at a very basic level and really wanted to improve whilst staying in Portugal. And I have! :) Filipe & the team have been great at both explaining the technique and making sure my basics are solid, but have also been amazing at getting me to feel comfortable in the water even on a day with a bigger swell and just feeling confident in my ability to surf. Which shows because I can finally catch my own waves :D Definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn how to surf, or who wants to improve! (plus the guys are very fun to hang out with :)) )

      It was amazing!
      Dear surf school "go surf lisboa", I had no idea and zero expectations for my short trip to Lisabon. I just checked your website and the prices, your instagram page and thought: yes, that is the right school for me. And I was right. Manu, Santiago, Josefa and Felipo, all the great people of your staff that I met zere very nice and caring to me. I learned the surf technique and surfed some waves starting from the "green water". It was a great experience and thank all of you. At the times when I got demotivated you helped me with your calming explications. I am thankful for everything! I loved Lisboa! I would like to visit again and surf again with your school. Namaste <3!

      It was a fantastic day of surfing. We had two lessons in one day and physically it was difficult, but we enjoyed this time very much!

    Best surf school my kids (now 18 and 16!) have ever been to. They thoroughly enjoyed their sessions, so much so they’ve just booked in their third session. Instructors are brilliant - patient, helpful and genuinely seem to love helping others enjoy the sport they clearly are passionate about. Thoroughly recommend!

    It was an awesome experience! We got picked up in the city centre in a very surfer like van, listening to reggae music throughout the whole trip to the beach.

    The surf instructors were very good at explaining everything and made it possible for us to stand up on the boards to surf! We enjoyed the waves and the company very much!

    We were in a group of 8 and they gave personal instructions for everybody besides the shared instructions while we trained on the shore. The amount of time on the water seemed perfect as you were exhausted in both arms and torso afterwards.

    Make sure to bring plenty of water and changing cloths so you don’t have to sit soaked in the van on the way back home! But we didn’t have to bring towels, because of the warm temperatures.

    All the equipment seemed in good shape and we really enjoyed it.

    We had such an amazing time! It was a bit windy and it rained but we still managed to have so much fun. The van is very comfortable and the ride was only around 30 minutes long from pickup point. The drivers, the instructors and the photographer were very nice and welcoming. The instructors made it very easy to learn as we were beginners. Just note that being in salt water and in constant movement can make you thirsty, so make sure to bring water! The pictures taken were of very good quality and can be sent via Email or AirDrop! Overall, it was a great experience and if ever we come back to Lisbon, we will definitely book this activity again :))

    By FAR the best surf school in Lisbon area (and maybe even Portugal!). I've been surfing with them for months now going from beginner to intermediate and honestly they are amazing. Filipe even filmed our last intermediate session and sent us personalised feedback with our videos so we can see exactly what to improve.

    I can't recommend enough, if you live here or if you're just passing by, for sure go with them. Plus they have a pickup service that leaves from central Lisbon and drives you to the beach so easy peasy.

    A wonderful experience! I took the lesson as a beginner and by the of it I was able to stand up, move up/down, and turn on the board. The instructors, Dani and Leo, did an excellent job of explaining how to surf very clearly. It was an experience I am so glad I did! When I would make an accomplishment in the lesson they would cheer so happily!

    The beach was so pretty with soft sand and clear waters. The waves were pretty calm so it was perfect to learn on.

    The drive to the beach from Lisbon went by very quickly because Susan was playing absolute bops in the van.

    I would 100% recommend doing this!

    We visited Lisbon on a stag do a couple of weeks ago and needed an activity that suited 18 of us. We booked a half day surfing lesson and was throughly impressed with the set up. The company picked us up near our hotel with three vehicles and we travelled around 20 minutes or so to the beach.

    We had 3 instructors between us and all were very friendly and patient with how bad we were! We were then taken back to our hotel after we grabbed some lunch at the beach in one of the restaurants.

    Would highly recommend to anyone looking for something different to do and though we were absolutely shattered, it was really fun. Perfect for a large group.

    Had the absolute best time doing surf lessons with Philipe, Santiago and the other instructors. The pick up location for the beach transfers was really central and made it easy for us to meet each day. We would drive to the best location for the condition on the day and enjoy 2 surf lessons with a much needed rest in between. Before each lesson we would spend time getting to understand the theoretical side of surfing, including how waves are formed, wind conditions, types of waves and how to read and position yourself to catch waves. This was massively helpful and made a huge difference to my understanding of the sport. Whilst on the water we received constant feedback on our efforts and useful tips on how to improve, as well as guidance on good waves to attempt. Overall, massively positive about the experience and would definitely recommend this surf school to anyone travelling to the Lisbon area.

    So much fun!! We were surfing beginners (as was most of the group) and the instructors were great to learn from. This was one of the highlights of our entire Europe trip, such a cool way to experience a little bit outside of Lisbon. They also have a photographer taking pictures which you can purchase for 15 euros pp if you want!

    I’m studying abroad and this is the coolest experience I’ve had yet! Very well organized and plenty of time in the water. Felipe was a great host and facilitated our transportation and Daniel and Rodrigo were great instructors. I was mostly with Rodrigo and he was amazing, made me feel like a pro even though he was definitely making me look good. Also buying pictures was so cheap, 10 euros a person for some of my favorite pix ever. Overall amazing experience and would 10/10 recommend.

    I did 3 days of lessons with Go Surf Lisboa as complete beginner and had the most magical surfing experience. There are many surf schools in the Lison area but this one stands out from them all.

    Firstly they drive you to an incredible 12 km beach on the other side of Lison so you surf facing wild dunes instead of buildings and cars. The teachers are incredibly experienced and committed so you will achieve that high of standing up on your board in your first lesson. Filipe always knew how to push me to improve my technique and I would trust him with my life.

    From beginning to end the atmosphere is friendly and warm. I was solo and met some awesome people from all over the world that I'm still in touch with. Also noteworthy is how reliable this school is - prompt responsive communication and punctual pick up every day. You couldn't find a better surf experience, whether you're a complete beginner or want to improve your skills out on the green waves. I'm planning y next trip already.
