Cần Quan Tâm

During a 2.5-hour surf lesson, beginner surfers will learn the basic of surfing, including the proper technique of paddling, standing up, controlling the board, and riding waves. We will start with a short theory part to learn about the waves, safety rules, and equipment. Then we warm up and go to catch waves in the ocean. Our experienced instructors will be close by and provide individual feedback and support to help you to improve your skills. Intermediate surfers will improve their technique and increase their confidence in the water by learning about reading waves, positioning on the line-up, and sharpening the technique.

Two days that made me love surfing

I booked a two-day surf course with Filsurf. I had never surfed before, but after these two days I know that I would love to do a longer course in the future. Filsurf made this sport really appealing to me. Riccardo and Pierre (sorry if I got the name wrong) were great surf instructors. I really liked that they always focused on safety. You could go to them anytime for help or tips. They also gave attention to every participant. On the first day, the waves were strong, and it wasn’t easy. But by the end of the lesson, I was already looking forward to the next one. The second lesson went much better. At the start, the group was split a bit, as some people were joining for the second time. We practiced the movements again on land, and then went into the water. I even managed to stand up on the board for a few seconds – such a great feeling!

Good group lessons with 3 family members. Registration by mail without any problems. Arrival by private car, we met on the beach. Price was fair.

I did a 3 day package and it was a super experience. Ricardo put you at ease and is really trying to find solutions to your weak points. I did some surf classes before and I am a more heavy guy with less mobility so often coaches will tell one or two things and then they stop searching for solutions if I still fail. I felt that Ricardo was really trying to find different ways to explain what I should do to improve my pop-up. He is really trying to pay attention to everyone in the class. I absolutely recommend to take surf lessons with Filschool, I will surely comeback.

I had the absolute best time learning to surf with Filsurf. The instructors (both Filipe and Ricardo) are not only highly skilled surfers, but also fantastic teachers — patient, encouraging, and full of energy. They tailored the lessons to each student's level, so whether you’re a total beginner (like I was) or more experienced, you’ll get the guidance you need to improve. What really sets this school apart is the personal touch. It doesn’t feel like a big, commercial operation — it feels more like being taught by passionate locals who truly love what they do. The small group sizes meant lots of individual attention, and I felt safe and supported in the water at all times. I can’t recommend this surf school enough. Whether you're looking for your first lesson or hoping to sharpen your skills, this is the place to go.
Amazing day learning to surf in the Algarve!

Filipe is an amazing and experienced teacher, me and my husband were very happy with the classes. He is very dedicated to teaching everyone and at the same time the classes are also fun. If you are in Lagos don’t miss the opportunity.
Awesome first time surfing experience for a family of 4 (including 2 teenagers)

We booked private lessons for a family of 4 (incl 2 teenagers). We wanted to surf for three days, it was our first surfing experience and we absolutely loved it. Filipe was our surf instructor and we felt like we made really good progress over the span of three days surfing. We like the fact that Filsurf is a family owned business with top notch instructors who are surfers delivering an authentic surfing experience, even for us as complete novices. Filipe was patient, he gave us a lot of explanation and information. I wouldn’t doubt booking Filsurf again if we are travelling in the same area. If you come with the right mindset and attitude of wanting to improve your surfing, you want to get training from Filsurf.
A real surf school.

Fil is a trained and passionate teacher, it is impossible not to try surfing after hearing his explanations about the waves and winds. My boyfriend and I always felt safe and followed. Groups are small so that the teacher follows everyone. A real surf school, made up of real surfers.
We had the best time!

Our family of four loved the day we spent learning to surf! Moreno is a fantastic instructor and a gifted surfer. At his detailed direction, we were all able to experience the thrill of riding a wave! (Even the two of us “over 50’s”). The beach where the lessons took place is gorgeous, too, and we had a beer at the bar after our lessons. My grown kids would say this is a must do activity. Thank you Moreno!
