Surf experience at Costa da Caparica with Lisbon Surf and SUP, located right in front of Praia do Dragão Vermelho on one of the most vibrant and wave-rich stretches of coastline near Lisbon. Led by Daniel Félix and a team with over 25 years of experience who know the Portuguese coast like nobody else, this is a surf experience for all levels from complete beginners to surfers looking to refine their technique, delivered in small groups with personalised coaching and focused individual attention throughout.
The session goes beyond technique. Immersed in the surf culture of Caparica, guided by people who have spent decades reading these specific waves and conditions, every session connects you to something larger than a lesson. Expert instructors guide you through every step of the surfing journey, from the first safety briefing and sand practice to catching waves in the Atlantic with growing confidence and control. The breathtaking coastal scenery, the small group format and the genuine passion of the Lisbon Surf and SUP team combine to make this more than a surf class. It is, as Daniel says, the kind of experience that stays with you.
