A cool, laid-back camp. The two housekeepers, Maria and Celina, are two warm, sunny personalities. Fabio and Carlos are two really great surf instructors. The two dogs and the cat that drop by from time to time are super cute. The group is really diverse in terms of age, skill level, and nationality. The video analysis is very helpful. Massages, yoga, and BBQ nights round out the experience.

The camp staff was super friendly, the vibe was great, and the surf instructors were excellent. I had a wonderful time here in mid-June—the waves were pleasant, and I gained some great surfing experience. The surf instructors are considerate and really take the time to work with the students. All in all, it was a great experience; I just wish there had been a little more theory, but other than that, it was top-notch. The video analysis of my surfing was especially fun 😉

We first booked a private lesson for our group of 8 people at the surf school, and then two more lessons for my girlfriend and me. Since we were assigned our own surf instructor, the focus was entirely on our group—which made the course particularly effective and personalized.
The organization was excellent from start to finish. We received all the important information the night before, so we were well prepared and everything went smoothly.
A big thank you goes to our surf instructor, Carlos. He was incredibly patient, motivating, and took the time to work with each of us individually. As beginners, this made us feel well taken care of at all times and allowed us to make quick progress.
Overall, the lessons were a complete success and a ton of fun. We’d book here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend the surf school! 🏄♂️🤙🌊

video analysis was helpful for refining my technique, and the photographer captured my first attempts on the board. All in all, an amazing surfing vacation 👌🏼

Besides the surfing, the time we spent together away from the water was simply awesome—great vibes, nice conversations, and overall just an unforgettable week. I’d come back anytime.

I had a really great time at the camp! I spent a week at Missiontosurf in mid-May during the preseason as a complete beginner, and after just one week I was able to surf whitewater waves well and even try some green waves. A huge thank you to the two very cool and dedicated surf instructors, Fabio and Carlos!
The accommodations were nice and clean, and the area was idyllic and quiet. If you want to explore more, you should arrive by rental car. Otherwise, it’s a great time to unwind and get plenty of rest after the strenuous surf sessions. They also offered surfskating, yoga, massages, and other activities. I can definitely recommend the camp! Especially during the preseason, since there were fewer people there and the instructors could provide more individualized attention.

For surfing:
My surf instructor (Bruno) was very knowledgeable; you learn a lot from video analysis, and the theory helps a ton too!
I was pleasantly surprised that we hit the waves right away on the first day and got straight into the action. Better trial and error than endless dry training.
I’ll be back for sure!!! 😊

A week-long surf course with Mission to Surf—and what can I say: it was just amazing! 🏄♂️🌊
The instructors were absolutely top-notch: super friendly, patient, motivating, and packed with expertise. You can tell right away that they live and breathe surfing—and that’s contagious. 🤙🏼 The conditions were also perfect, and the vibe in the group was really good right from the start—open, warm, just relaxed.
Even though we didn’t stay at the surf hostel but were housed off-site, we were still immediately integrated into the group. Everything was super easygoing and totally welcoming—top-notch! 🙌🏼
And the best part: I’m now officially a surfer. 😄🫶🏼 This definitely wasn’t the last time—surfing is now going to be a regular part of my life. Thanks for this unforgettable week—I highly recommend it to anyone who’s into surfing, great people, and having a really awesome time! 💯🔥

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

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.

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!
