Coaches great, very nice learning successes and good feedback

A bit cold in winter but more beach per person for surfing

The place is beautiful and great for relaxing, without any distractions

Accommodation is ok and sociable. But you shouldn't expect too much or compare it to a hotel

Really cool surf camp for a very fair price! The beaches are amazing and the team is nice and the organization uncomplicated.

A great place to learn to surf. The team is professional and super nice and relaxed. At the villa you quickly get to know people who are on the same wavelength ?

We spent a week surfing here and will definitely be back. ?

We had only booked the surf course without the camp. Unfortunately, we were a bit unlucky with the weather, but an excursion was offered as an alternative.
About the surf course itself: the instructors were very nice and competent. Communication with the surf school was very good, even though we didn't stay overnight. The equipment made a good impression.

A week full of emotions, booked quite spontaneously to get away from everyday life and perhaps the best experience of my life!
Not only did I improve my surfing but I also met really cool people

In this camp there are only warm people and the surf instructors are always in a good mood and always have tips on how to improve. An all-round experience ??
You immediately feel at home here. ?

I completed my surf course at the Mission to Surf Portugal Camp in the 2024 pre-season (April). I can confirm some of the - good - impressions described here in other reviews. The surf instructors are great, super friendly and helpful. We were a smaller group, so the team was probably able to pay more attention to us. The beaches were chosen according to wind and wave conditions. As we also had theory lessons, I was able to better assess the conditions myself over the course of the week and understand the surf instructors' behavior on the beaches. The camp itself is self-catering. Breakfast is organized and prepared by the camp team. For the rest of the afternoon and evening, you can cook your own meals or eat out. The team on site will be happy to provide tips and information. Just ask for them. Some would say that it is sometimes a bit "chaotic" on site. From another perspective, however, it is perhaps just a more relaxed, southern mentality, which is not always familiar in everyday life in Austria 😉 . I had organized a rental car as the accommodation is a bit far away from restaurants and stores. Even if a transfer from the surf camp is well organized for the arrival and departure, it is probably more flexible with your own car during the week. And yes, the surfing was very challenging, even for me as an absolute beginner. 🙂 All in all, I would do it again - or rather, I can recommend booking there to any interested surfing beginner. The area around Arrifana is well worth exploring. Thanks again to the whole team, the surf instructors and all the nice people I met on the course during the week!
