Whether you are standing up for the first time or building confidence in the water, your instructor keeps the pace right for the group on the day. 📋 Key details Duration: About 1.5 hours coached time in the water Group size: Up to six students per instructor Level: Beginner and improver Meeting point: Praia da Alagoa, Porto da Cruz, or Jardim de Santa Luzia, Funchal with transport Kit: Surfboard, wetsuit and leash included 🌊 What to expect Your session starts on the beach with a safety briefing, warm-up and pop-up practice on the sand. Once you are geared up in your wetsuit with your board and leash, your instructor takes you into the Atlantic for about 1.5 hours of coached water time. You will focus on catching whitewater waves, building paddling confidence, and standing up with your coach close by to guide you through each attempt. In the water, your instructor stays in the whitewater zone with you, calling you into waves and giving you tips between sets. Sessions feel social and encouraging rather than rushed, with time to practise your stance, learn how to read the break, and celebrate your first rides back to the beach. We adapt the coaching to whoever is in the group that day, so complete beginners and improvers can share the same session comfortably. 📍 Location Lessons run on Madeira's open Atlantic coastline around Porto da Cruz and Machico, where volcanic cliffs meet rolling ocean swells. If you are making your own way to us, we meet at Praia da Alagoa in Porto da Cruz, a sheltered beach with an epic backdrop and easy access from the village. When conditions are better elsewhere, we may move the group a short distance to a nearby break such as Praia de São Roque in Machico. If you are joining us with transport included, we pick you up at Jardim de Santa Luzia in Funchal and drive you to whichever surf spot is working best for your level that day. The north-east coast offers consistent whitewater for learning, with sheltered bays that let you build skills without facing heavy shore break on your first sessions. ✅ Prerequisites This activity suits anyone keen to try surfing or improve their basics in a group setting. You should be comfortable spending time in the sea and able to swim a short distance without support, so you can relax and focus on the waves rather than worrying abo… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Surfboard, wetsuit and leash Qualified instructor in the water Land briefing, warm-up and technique coaching Transport to the day's surf spot with transport included ### What’s not included Food and drink Personal insurance Transport to the meeting point without transport included ### Kit list Swimwear Towel Sunscreen Flip-flops Drinking water ## FAQs ### Who is this lesson suitable for? This lesson is open to beginners and improvers who want to learn in a group. Complete beginners are welcome, and your coach keeps the pace suited to everyone in the water on the day. If you are joining with friends or family, you can share the same session when spaces are available. Solo travellers are equally welcome and will surf alongside others at a similar level. ### How long does the lesson last? Each coached session is about 1.5 hours in the water. Without transport, plan for roughly two hours on site including briefing and kit-up. With transport from Funchal, the full experience takes around four hours including the drive to the best break that day and the return trip. Please allow a little flexibility after the listed finish time in case we adjust the plan for tide, wind or swell on the day. ### Where is the meeting point? If you are making your own way to us, meet at Praia da Alagoa in Porto da Cruz. We may move the group to a nearby break such as Praia de São Roque in Machico if the waves are better that day. With transport included, meet at Jardim de Santa Luzia in Funchal for pickup. We will confirm the exact meeting details with you ahead of the session. ### Is transport included? Yes, with transport included. We pick you up at Jardim de Santa Luzia in Funchal and drive you to whichever surf spot is working best for your level that day. Without transport, you make your own way to the beach meeting point at Praia da Alagoa in Porto da Cruz. ### What equipment is included? Your lesson includes a surfboard, wetsuit and leash for the full session, so you do not need to bring your own kit to get started. We select boards to match your height and the day's conditions, and your instructor helps you with wetsuit fit on the beach before you paddle out. Group coaching covers the basics on land first, then in the water, with tips on paddling, timing your pop-up and staying safe in the surf. ### What information do you need from me? We may ask for your height, wetsuit size if you know it, and a phone number so we can bring the right kit and reach you if plans change because of the weather or sea conditions. Sharing these details helps your session run smoothly when you arrive on the beach. ### What happens if the weather or waves change? Surfing depends on ocean and weather conditions. If we need to change the time or beach, we will contact you as early as possible. Please keep your plans flexible for a short while after the session in case timings shift. Your safety comes first, and moving to a more suitable break or start time usually leads to a better lesson for everyone in the group. ### How big are the groups? Group lessons run with up to six students per instructor, which keeps the coaching personal while you still learn alongside other surfers. Your instructor can give you feedback in the water without the group feeling crowded. Friends and families can surf together in the same session when spaces are available, and solo travellers join an open group on the day. ### What should I bring? Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, flip-flops and drinking water for before and after the session. The Atlantic can feel cool even on sunny days, so having a dry layer ready afterwards makes changing back into your clothes more comfortable. We provide the surfboard, wetsuit and leash. If you already know your wetsuit size, let us know so we can have suitable kit ready for you. ### How will you contact me before the lesson? We use a WhatsApp group for lesson updates on the day. This is the fastest way for the team to share any changes to meeting time, pickup details or beach location if conditions shift. Please keep your phone handy and check messages on the morning of your lesson. If you prefer another way to stay in touch, just let us know. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/ec445c14-3d0e-49f2-a31c-36208447caf8-scaled.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 5 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
