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 previous experience is required. This session is suitable for beginners, as you’ll start with a short introduction before heading out on the tour.
The experience combines a beginner-friendly lesson with a guided tour. You’ll learn the basics first and then explore the river or coastline while enjoying the surroundings.
All necessary equipment is provided, including the board, paddle, life jacket, and full support from a certified instructor, as well as insurance coverage. We recommend that you bring water as it is quite common to be thirsthy, specially if it is really warm.
We recommend bringing swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, and a bottle of water. Sunglasses and a hat are also a good idea for sun protection. You may also want to bring a change of clothes for after the session.
Yes, children are welcome! It is ideal from 8 years old onwards. The lesson is safe and beginner-friendly, and can be adapted to younger participants. Children usually need to be accompanied by an adult, and all safety equipment is provided to ensure a fun and secure experience.
