We had a great day with João & Magdalena! They really tried to focus on establishing /improving the surfing skills of each participant and were friendly and attentive. They alao recommend us a restaurant that turned out great! Definitely recommend it.

It was my very first time surfing but I had an amazing time! Monica gave me a ride from Funchal to Porto de Cruz where we had the surfing lesson. The instructor (Cecilio I believe) was awesome and after a short warm up on land we hit the waves as well. He made sure to always give feedback about each ride and what to improve.

Das war mit Abstand die BESTE Erfahrung die ich in meinem Leben gemacht habe!! Jedes Geld wert!! Hatte viele blaue Flecken aber ich trug sie mit stolz haha! Wir waren eine kleine Gruppe und am Anfang haben wir mal alle die Neoprenanzüge bekommen und dann bekam jeder ein Surfbrett und wir gingen zum Strand runter. Aufwärmübungen gab es auch bevor der Spaß losging :) Mein Freund und ich bekamen einen kurzen Unterricht wie man auf das Surfbrett richtig steigt etc., weil es für uns das erste Mal war! Es war ein unglaubliches Gefühl auf dem Surfbrett zu stehen und die Wellen zu reiten. Nach dem 2ten Versuch gelang es mir dann! War ein unglaublich schönes Gefühl! Ich würde es definitiv nochmal machen! Danke für alles und die absolut beste Erfahrung meines Lebens!
