Private surf lesson in Comporta at Praia do Pego for anyone who wants the full attention of a certified coach and a session adapted entirely to their own level and pace. Imagine Surf School’s private lesson is available for beginners from age 6 upward and adjusts to whatever experience the participants bring, making it equally suited to complete first-timers and those who have surfed before and want to work on specific aspects of their technique. Minimum two participants, all equipment included and travel to the beach provided.

Because this is a private session, the coaching is entirely yours throughout. There is no adapting to a group’s pace or waiting for others to catch up. Your coach focuses on your goals, your technique and your progression from the first warm-up to the last wave of the session. The objectives follow the same proven structure as Imagine Surf School’s group lessons: safe board handling, essential safety rules, warm-up, take-off technique, base position, wave catching and beginning to cut left or right in the foam, all delivered at whatever depth and pace your level calls for.
