Overview

Filsurf School was created in 2008 by a passionate Portuguese surfer from Porto with wide experience in surfing around the world, surfing competitions, and coaching.

We are a small surf school located in the Algarve whose priority is quality over quantity. At our surf lessons, you can be sure that you will have attention from a surf instructor, use high-quality equipment, stay safe, and learn a lot about surfing and how to surf.

Whether you are a beginner or intermediate surfer, we offer both group and private surf lessons at our surf school in Algarve. Our experienced surf instructors will provide you with personalized guidance to improve your surfing skills.

Join our group lessons for a fun and social experience or take private lessons if you prefer one-on-one attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Surf Lessons in Western Algarve?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
