    What To Expect

    Learn to surf at beautiful Galé Beach in Albufeira with a maximum of 6 surfers per instructor. This small-group experience gives you more personal coaching, individual feedback, and plenty of opportunities to practice in the water.

    Perfect for complete beginners and those with some previous experience, the lesson is adapted to your level so you can progress at your own pace while having fun in a safe and supportive environment.

    Your experience starts with getting equipped with a surfboard and wetsuit, followed by a warm-up and safety briefing on the beach. Your instructor will introduce the essential surfing techniques, including positioning on the board, paddling, catching waves, and the pop-up.

    Frequently Asked Questions (9)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Albufeira Small-Group Surf Lesson at Galé Beach?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
