I went for the second year in a row to ericeira to surf. I had great intermediate lessons in a small group with Nunu, which is a patient, calm and motivating teacher.. really enjoyed the tailored lessons. Moreover, they had really nice and new material (wetsuits and boards), not the old crap you sometimes get at surfschools.
I have had several single intermediate classes with ESC and they have always been great. All the there teachers I have met have given me new things and tips in this magnificient and challenging sport. I have also brought two my first-timer friends who have enjoyed beginner lesson.
Highly recommended, and big thanks Nuno and crew!
I spent a week in the hostel including surf lessons and it was great! All the instructors are enthusiastic and make sure you really get better at surfing. The hostel rooms are clean and spacious and the cleaning lady is really nice even though she doesn't speak any english.They even gave me an upgrade free of charge to make sure I had a comfortable stay. The breakfast is good and the hostel is located in the middle of the town.
Nuno (the owner) has been very kind and patient for all my questions before I came in Ericeira! And I has been pretty good received by Isabel!
The camp is in the center and near to all good spots! (Best restaurants, bars, beaches, shops etc)
Regarding the lessons, all coachs are very pedagogical with different methods. A special thanks go to my coach Diogo, I had a lot of fun and made a lot of progress, that’s insane!
Ps: high quality of wetsuits (it is very rare)
We booked a surf lesson with Ericeira Surf Camp and had a fantastic experience! First, when we chose our equipment, the team made sure we really had wetsuits that fit us well and booties which were tight, so we would not loose them in the water. At the beach, we were given security instructions and taught different methods to get on the board. Our instructor Nuno watched our group of 4 people closely, giving each of us detailed feedback on how to improve our surfing.
We ended up booking a private session with Nuno who was truly the best surf coach I ever had! With his calm attitude, his patience and his great advice we both managed to surf several ways. We got better at controlling the board, moving on the board while surfing and pumping to get additional speed on the board. All of that happened in just 2 days!
We were really happy about the quality of the course and would definitely book it again. It is a real advantage that the instructors have really small classes and deal with each student individually. A wonderful experience at our stay in Ericeira!
I stayed at the ESC for almost a week and did the intermediate surf lessons with their surf school. It was all in all the perfect experience, all the staff members were super nice and helpful. The surf lessons with Diogo were perfect! He is such a fun and patient teacher and I learned a lot from him! I will definitely visit again and highly recommend this place :)
