My name is António, and the ocean has always been part of who I am. I grew up in Vila Nova de Milfontes, surrounded by nature and deeply connected to the water from a young age. I started with canoeing and surfing as a kid, and that’s where my passion for the ocean truly began. In 2016, I discovered Stand Up Paddle — and everything changed. The freedom, the balance, and the connection with nature made me realize this was what I wanted to do every day. That’s how SW SUP was born. Since 2017, I’ve been dedicated to sharing this experience with others — whether it’s your very first time on a board or you’re looking to improve your skills. My goal has always been to create a safe, fun, and authentic environment where people can learn, grow, and enjoy the ocean. But for me, it’s about more than just the sport. It’s about the feeling of being out on the water, the calm of the river, the energy of the sea, and those small moments — like watching someone stand up for the first time or sharing a sunset session — that stay with you long after. Today, I work with a passionate and experienced team, and together we make sure every experience is personal, safe, and unforgettable. If you join us, my goal is simple: that you leave with a smile, great memories, and maybe even a new passion for the ocean.
No experience is needed. The session is beginner-friendly, and your instructor will guide you step by step until you feel comfortable riding the board.
An eFoil is a board with a hydrofoil and an electric motor that lifts you above the water as you gain speed, giving the sensation of flying smoothly and quietly. (Similar to foil sports where the board rises above the water)
Most beginners can start riding during their first session. The learning process is progressive, starting on your knees before standing up and controlling the board.
Electric Foil is generally recommended for teenagers and adults rather than young children. Usually we set a minimum age between 12 and 16 years old, depending on the child’s size, confidence in the water, and ability to follow instructions. Younger participants may be allowed in some cases, but only under close supervision and with instructor approval. Because it’s a motorized board that requires balance and control, this experience is best suited for older kids or teens who are comfortable in the water.
