Epic Surf School was born from the dream and passion of a surfer who quit his day job in the city to share his knowledge about the art of riding waves.  With more than 30 years experience and after traveling the world around several surfing destinations, he realized that the Portuguese coast has the ideal conditions for anyone to start learning this sport.  By choosing Epic Surf School, not only will you learn to surf, you will be treated like family than just another student. Classes are offered at Caparica Coast line in an area exclusively authorised for our school (80 meters wide along the shore line) and only when the sea conditions are adequate, because the safety and satisfaction of the students is our priority – whether you are a beginner or an advanced surfer our mission is to ensure a progressive and unforgettable experience.

Fantastic half day surfing, Will do it again fornmore than One lession Fantastica mattinata, torneremo per più lezioni, la prima è divertente e stancante ma sicuramente con qualche lezione in più viste le onde facili si può stare sulla tavola per tutto il giorno.Filipe preciso disponibile attento e bravissimo.Ci ha dato delle basi, chi ha seguito in acqua e ci ha anche consigliato dove pranzare dopo.Se lo avessimo scoperto prima avremmo fatto lezioni per tutta la settimana.

Can only recommend 🤙🏻 Had an amazing afternoon. Rudi did not hesitate to take me apart from the group to bring me to a spot where the waves were a bit bigger to make sure I would have some fun. He spent the lesson giving great tips, with the right approach and the right tone.Had several surf teachers but he is one of the best I had, no doubt.Again, muita obrigada and see you soon 🤙🏻

Prima esperienza fantastica Prima esperienza sul surf ed è stata un’esperienza bellissima grazie al team di Epic Surf. Josè, il nostro istruttore, è stato super disponibile e gentile. L’oceano era molto calmo quindi ci hanno fatto aspettare un po’ in spiaggia per avere delle onde, questo è sicuramente un punto a loro favore. Non ci hanno fatto sprecare una giornata senza onde ma ci hanno garantito che in caso l’oceano fosse rimasto calmo ci avrebbero rimborsato. Per fortuna non è stato così, bellissimo!

The best experience! Amazing experience!!Me and my sister decided to partecipate in a surf lesson with Epicsurf during our holiday in Lisbon, best decision ever! We liked it so much we decided to come back for a private lesson the following day.We appreciated the kindness, sense of humor and professionality of all the people we met: Juri, the organizor that also came to pick us up and bring us to the beach, of which we really enjoyed the company, and both the istructors that followed us.It was our first approach to surf and they explained everything in a very clear way, always maintaining a safe, fun and enjoyable environment.We absolutely loved it and advice to take a lesson with them if you are near Lisbon and want to try surf!!Giada and Martina

Amazing surfing trip We had a brilliant experience with Rui and his team. 3 days of surfing, with 4 hours of private lesson brought my friend and I onto a good level of surfing where we were able to stand on our boards, catch waves and turn! Rui and his team were always on time for our pick up and drop off; happy to tailor the timing of lessons based on the conditions and really put our experience first. Overall, it was a brilliant experience and I would highly recommend booking Epic Surf for a professional, reliable and fun experience of surfing!

Oh, mama, I wanna go surfing I organised a hen-party in Lissabon and I decided to book a surfing lesson. I have found Epic surf school, Rui responded immediately and all the arrangements went fast and very smoothly. He picked us up in the cool surf van and the adventure began. The instructors were amazing, especially Jose, they were encouraging us, motivating us, teaching us and making sure, we are all safe and still having enormous amount of fun. I cannot find words which could describe how amazing Rui and his team were. All the girls were amazed and we all agreed we will definitely come back to Lissabon and take more lessons.

A great surf school + instructors Did a full day of semi-private surf lessons with Epic and it was wonderful! Rui and the team were easy to get in touch with, and the transport to and from the surf spot was smooth. Really safe, clear guidance (especially for a complete beginner), and super friendly instructors - highly recommend to anyone looking to give surfing a try when they're in Lisbon!
