Great time at Quicho beach - We had a great time with Bernando as instructor! He helped us to ride some nice waves. If you go to Cascais and the weather allows it, take time to experience the Atlantic Ocean.

Open at Christmas. A young team motivated to make us live a beautiful experience. Attention highly addictive activity - Excellent care by the team on site, who must have listened to our needs, and our availability. The on-site team is honest and professional, taking us from one beach to another to look for the best conditions for progress, and not hesitating to cancel a session when the sea is not conducive. Sessions in Portuguese, English and even French (special thanks to Tiago). From Quebec, we had an exceptional Christmas. Muito Obrigado the gang!

Surf's up! - What an amazing experience! Alex and his team were wonderful and made sure our family had a great time surfing for the first time. Bernardo was in the water with us the entire time and was great, and really took care of us including our 9 year old! Will def recommend to friends!

You're not alone! - I had this class booked with the Salty Pelican Portugal and booked a second class for the next day right after! This is an absolute recommendation for anyone trying to get in touch with the sea or to improve their surfing. The team is super friendly and supportive, they stay with you through the whole session and help you navigate the waves and board so you can focus on your balance without knowing waves from the start. They adjust to your level during the class keeping you learning where you are at.
November is mild and surfable, a recommendation, too!
We'll be back!

Excellent experience! - We were a family of four--2 adults and 2 boys, ages 9 and 11. The surfing and instructors were excellent! We ran late for our class and Alex and the team were extremely accommodating. The kids said it was definitely one of the trip highlights!

Great Surf School! - Great surf school! The staff are really friendly and make your sessions enjoyable. I was able to not only improve my pop-up but learn some wave theory and make new friends. The beach is beautiful and it was a great place to learn to surf! Highly recommend!

Family class at this great surf school - I gifted my family the private surf class for christmas because I learned surfing with Moana too and it was such a great experience that I wanted them to experience it as well. They were two adults and two kids with two instructors ensuring a safe surf with lot of one-on-one time. Thanks to the great team of instructors and Alex, the owner, who was always available for questions beforehand they had a great time and fell in love with surfing, just as i did. So if you want to learn surfing this is the school to go to. The whole team is like a big family which you instantly become a part of and they'll always hold a special place in our hearts. Good times and unforgettable memories.

Fine experience - Professional and top guidance by Lucas.
Explains everything to you and adjusts where necessary.
Friendly casual reception.
The location is beautiful but windy when you sit on the beach.
You can also rent chairs, windshield and umbrella at 35€/day.
A nice stretch of beach with surfers and kite surfers.
