5-day group surf course in Comporta at Praia do Pego for beginners from age 6 upward who want to give surfing a genuine chance and come away with real, lasting technique. Imagine Surf School’s five-session course is the most complete beginner programme available, giving you enough time in the water to move from your very first take-off to catching waves with growing confidence and control. Sessions can be taken on five consecutive days or spread across separate days to suit your schedule. All equipment included and travel to the beach provided throughout.

Five sessions is where real progression happens. The first sessions establish the foundations: safe board handling, safety rules, warm-up routines and the take-off technique. As the course develops, the focus shifts progressively toward base position, reading and catching waves consistently, and beginning to cut left or right in the foam with awareness and intention. Your coaches track your progress across every session, adapting the goals and feedback to where you actually are rather than where a lesson plan says you should be. By session five, the difference from where you started will be unmistakable.
