If you would like private lessons, Nalu, who is a part of the crew at the house, can take you to the best surf spots for one-to-one coaching.
There are surfboards and wetsuits available at the house, which you can rent daily.
The famous surf spot of Buarcos is right in front of the house, just five-minute walk away. This is the longest right-hand break in Europe and perfect for advanced surfers.
Beginner and intermediates can go to Praia do Cabedelo (10-min drive), which is where surf lessons usually take place. The waves are often clean and perfect for learning or for improving your skills.
