Arrival at Costa da Caparica

The sun was just beginning to rise as I arrived at Costa da Caparica, a charming beach town just a stone’s throw from Lisbon. The salty breeze and the sound of waves crashing against the shore instantly made me feel at home. As a seasoned surfer, I’ve chased waves across Central America, but there was something uniquely inviting about this Portuguese gem. The beach was already buzzing with early risers, and I could feel the energy in the air.

I made my way to the Portugal Surf School, where I was greeted by a team of enthusiastic instructors. Their passion for surfing was infectious, and I could tell right away that this was going to be a memorable experience. The school was well-equipped with everything a surfer could need, from boards to wetsuits, and even a cozy space with showers and lockers. It was clear that they had thought of everything to make the experience as enjoyable as possible.

Riding the Waves

After a quick briefing on safety and technique, it was time to hit the water. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, and their teaching methodology was both fun and effective. Even though I’ve been surfing for years, I appreciated their fresh perspective and the way they tailored the lesson to suit each individual’s skill level. It was a reminder that there’s always something new to learn, no matter how experienced you are.

The waves at Costa da Caparica were perfect for both beginners and seasoned surfers alike. They were consistent and forgiving, allowing everyone to catch a few rides and build their confidence. As I paddled out, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of freedom and exhilaration. The sun was shining, the water was warm, and I was surrounded by fellow surf enthusiasts who shared my love for the ocean.

Embracing the Surf Lifestyle

After an exhilarating session in the water, I took some time to relax on the beach and soak up the sun. The vibe at Costa da Caparica was laid-back and carefree, much like the surf towns I’ve visited in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. It was easy to see why so many people are drawn to this place – it’s a haven for those who crave adventure and a connection with nature.

As I watched the waves roll in, I reflected on the incredible experience I had with the Portugal Surf School. Their dedication to providing a fun and safe surfing experience was evident in every aspect of the lesson.
