3-day group surf lesson in Comporta at Praia do Pego for beginners from age 6 upward, giving you the time to actually progress rather than just get a taste of surfing. Imagine Surf School’s certified coaches guide you through three sessions that build on each other, with the flexibility to take them on three consecutive days or spread them out according to your schedule. All equipment included, travel to the beach provided and individual attention guaranteed throughout.

The course follows a clear progression across the three sessions. You begin with the fundamentals: safe board handling, essential safety rules, warm-up exercises and the take-off technique. As confidence develops across sessions two and three, the focus shifts toward base position, reading waves and catching them consistently, progressing toward cutting left or right in the foam with growing control and awareness. Three sessions give your body and mind the time to consolidate what you are learning, which makes all the difference between a single lesson and a course that genuinely improves your surfing.
