Our stay at Mission to Surf in Portugal was wonderful! The hostess is incredibly warm and welcoming, and you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. The surf lessons were professional and a lot of fun—perfect for both beginners and more experienced surfers. A special shout-out goes to Maria, who organized and managed everything so wonderfully. Thanks to her, everything went smoothly and with a lot of heart. We’d all love to come back!

Sonja, the camp director, was super nice and dedicated. The cocktails and her coffee liqueur are delicious. We even got to learn how to DJ at the bar. There was yoga once a week, and there are two cute dogs here, Alma and Caramello. Great atmosphere with cool people. The mood is always great, and there’s never a dull moment.

Very cool community, very social. Very good surf coaches and sensible advice. Nice accommodation and good beach location. Good surf camp for every surfing level. Furthermore, the surf coaches offer constructive criticism regarding the surfing style. Through the surf camp I got to know a lot of new people, life perspectives and learned better surfing skills.

I was here at the surf camp for a week and had a mega great time. We surfed for 3 hours a day, had great surf instructors with us and ended the day in the surf villa. There's nothing I could find fault with. It was great and I can only recommend it to improve your surfing skills!

It was just such a cool time! Aside from the surfing, the camp was just awesome! Cool people—it was like a family! Super friendly team, chill villa, awesome parties!
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! 💯🔥

The week at the surf camp was wonderful. I traveled alone and immediately felt welcome and warmly received. The surf instructors were all very friendly and dedicated, and they really taught us a lot over the five days and gave us some helpful tips. I’ll definitely be back.

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

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

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!
