Kids
Lessons for a child aged between 6-12. Parents should be close especially at younger ages. Parents will be amazed at their kids riding a wave. Safety and fun are the main priorities.
Beginner
The session goes through the basic theory and techniques of surfing, you will know everything, from how to carry your board, to how to take off and catch the first waves. In the end you will be able to surf white water waves by yourself and you will have the first approach on surfing unbroken waves. The main goal of the program is to start surfing safe and have a great time.
Intermediate
At this stage, you will be able to catch green waves and ride the face of the wave on a regular basis. Besides learning more advanced surfing techniques you must understand the priority rules and the correct position in the line-up to surf unbroken waves. The main goal of the program is you becoming a better surfer and to have fun.
Advanced
It’s time to improve your spot analysis, developing technique and confidence on the waves. Besides going both right and left on a wave you should start to incorporate more challenging maneuvres. The instructors will give you personal feedback on where you need to work on. The main goal of the program is to make you be able to surf better on your own.
Arrival by airplane
Airport transfer is not included but it's really easy to get to Quinta d'Anta Hotel. The closest airport is in Oporto, but if you plan to come by train it takes about the same time from Lisbon because the train station is closer and easier to get.

- Lisbon Portela Airport (LIS) - 196 km (1h50)
Whether you land in Oporto or Lisbon, you can reach Portugal On Water Surf Lodge (at Quinta d’Anta Hotel) by metro and train, metro and bus or car. When opting for public transportation, you should head to Coimbra (or Alfarelos Station if you take the train) and then Portugal On Water provides a pick-up time.
