Full description
Carcavelos Surf School teaches on Carcavelos beach, reachable from central Lisbon by local train in roughly 30 to 40 minutes. Lessons begin with technique practice on the sand before moving into the water, where coaches help students catch their first waves.
Group sessions with two coaches for around ten people are common, and reviewers say even total beginners stand up on the board in the first lesson. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and the surrounding beach town is easy to explore on foot.

Reviews
We booked the group session and we were 10 people with 2 coaches. First, we learned the techniques on the beach. Then we went into the sea, and the coaches pushed us onto the waves when the best ones were coming so we could catch them. Just keep in mind there is no changing room at the surf school.
