Perguntas Frequentes
Aulas de Surf – O Básico
Preciso de ter experiência para fazer uma aula de surf?
Não. As nossas aulas de surf foram pensadas tanto para principiantes absolutos como para surfistas intermédios e avançados. Cada aula é adaptada ao teu nível, para que possas aprender em segurança e evoluir ao teu próprio ritmo.
Quanto tempo dura uma aula de surf?
As aulas de surf duram cerca de 2 horas. Isto inclui a preparação, um briefing na praia e tempo dentro de água.
O que está incluído na aula de surf?
Todas as aulas incluem prancha de surf, fato de neoprene, instrutor certificado, seguro e toda a orientação de que precisas para desfrutar da experiência.
Quantas pessoas há em cada aula?
Mantemos grupos pequenos, com um máximo de 4/5 alunos por instrutor (ou 3 no caso de crianças com menos de 10 anos), garantindo segurança, atenção e uma progressão mais rápida.
As aulas de surf são seguras?
Sim. A segurança é uma das nossas principais prioridades. Todos os instrutores são certificados e as aulas são adaptadas às condições do mar e ao nível de cada aluno.
Antes das Aulas
O que devo levar para a minha aula de surf?
Traz, por favor, fato de banho / calções de banho, toalha, protetor solar e água. Nós fornecemos a prancha de surf, o fato e tudo o resto de que precisas para a aula.
Com quanta antecedência devo chegar?
Recomendamos que chegues 15 minutos antes da tua aula, para teres tempo suficiente para te preparares sem pressa.

O que devo esperar antes de entrar na água?
Antes de entrares no mar, ajudamos-te a equipar, explicamos as regras de segurança, fazemos um breve aquecimento e revemos as bases na areia.
Posso comer antes da aula?
Sim, mas o ideal é fazeres uma refeição leve, em vez de algo demasiado pesado imediatamente antes de entrares na água.
