    We (my husband and I as part of a group) took 4 lessons over a week with BeSurf school in September '22 and had a great... time. I'd never surfed before and have some health issues which mean I can struggle with physical activity. Beatriz and Pedro were amazing - they were super supportive and really helpful with tips and making sure we all had a great time. I was only trying surfing because my husband wanted to try it, but I've come away ready to surf again and looking at ways I can do it closer to home. Can't recommend these two enough!read more

    Beatriz was an amazing teacher. It was my girlfriend and I's first time surfing and she made us both feel safe and... comfortable. She provided the boards and wet suits and met us at the beach for a great 2.5 hour surfing lesson. Her English was great as well and we were able to easily understand all her instructions and lessons. Highly recommend her surf school if you're in Milfontes!read more
