Our Team

With more than 15 years of experience as a surfer, he created Imagine Surf School, dreaming of making a better world through surfing.
For him, it´s more than just riding a wave. It´s a lifestyle. It´s becoming a better human being every day.
In his lessons, you will have the opportunity to live and experience a total connection with the sea and with Nature.

Good Vibes…fun…sun and waves, that´s her style. With her, our summer days are never-ending. She is more than a surfing instructor; she is your friend in the water.

Neide is one of those beautiful stories that surfing sometimes gives us: she started as one of the very first students of Imagine Surf School and somehow ended up… on the other side of the board.
With a calm approach, great energy, and a natural connection to the ocean, she quickly revealed a special talent for teaching children — patience, attentiveness, and that rare ability to turn wipeouts into laughter.
In the water, she builds confidence. Out of the water, she brings good vibes.
With Neide, learning to surf is simple: have fun first, the rest comes with the waves.

Gui joined Imagine Surf School just three seasons ago, and it didn’t take long to see he was here to stay. With strong commitment, dedication, and an outstanding work ethic, he naturally grew into a key role within the school.
Today, he is our Head Coach — a reference both in and out of the water, always focused on safety, detail, and each student’s progression. He leads by example, with consistency, awareness, and an excellent reading of the ocean.
With Gui, lessons are structured, challenging in the right measure, and always leave room to enjoy the waves.

Mihai is a local from Carvalhal and knows those waves — and the people — like no one else. Growing up there, both in and out of the ocean, gave him a calm and confident way of guiding each session, always with an easy smile and great energy.
What started as a simple curricular internship naturally evolved into an ongoing collaboration with Imagine Surf School, driven by his commitment, responsibility, and deep connection to the place.
Out of the water, he brings strong discipline and focus: Mihai is a European jiu-jitsu champion, something clearly reflected in his attention to safety, body control, and the confidence he passes on to his students — all while keeping a positive and friendly vibe.
