You want to learn how to surf? Then Puresurfcamps is the perfect place for you!
In our surf camps and surf schools, we teach wave riding to surf enthusiasts from all over the world – every single day. But what exactly do you learn in a surf lesson? What kind of coaching is available for experienced surfers? And what kind of gear do you need to surf?
To make sure you know what to expect on your surf holiday, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about your surf lesson with Puresurfcamps, from coaching content and safety to equipment and destinations.
Surf Lesson Goals
With our proven teaching concept, we’ll get you standing on your surfboard in no time! From surf theory on the beach to your first glide in the whitewater and eventually your first green wave in the lineup – our lessons are designed for fast, safe progress. While safety is a top priority, our instructors make sure there’s plenty of fun in every session.
Each lesson builds on the previous day. You’ll face new challenges, learn faster than you think, and experience the unmatched freedom that surfing brings. Along the way, you’ll get familiar with handling your equipment, reading the ocean, and improving your board control and technique – all guided by certified instructors.
If you’ve never surfed before, our beginner surf courses are the perfect place to start. You’ll learn step by step:

High-Quality Equipment for Every Surfer
Softboards for Beginners
We use soft-top boards in beginner lessons because they offer maximum safety, buoyancy, and stability – ideal for rapid learning. A wider, thicker board provides more float and helps you get the feel for surfing quickly. Think of it as training wheels for wave riding.
Boards for Intermediates
As you progress, you’ll have access to a range of board types in different shapes and sizes – selected to match your skill and the conditions.
Essential Gear for Your Surf Lesson
All equipment is included in your surf course and professionally maintained.
The surf lessons at Puresurfcamps meet the highest safety standards and are exclusively taught by qualified, licensed, and experienced surf instructors.
Their training goes far beyond just teaching technique – our instructors are also fully trained in safety and first aid to ensure you have a secure and enjoyable surf experience. We offer surf lessons for all levels – from beginner to intermediate – and in various formats, such as 3-day or 5-day surf courses. Surf spots are either within walking distance of the camp or easily reached by van with your instructor, who will take you to the best waves in the area.
We work only in small groups of a maximum of eight people and use professional equipment. The quality and safety of our surf school are our top priorities. That’s why we offer a wide range of surf lessons for all levels, along with personal guidance to answer all your questions.
At our surf school in Portugal, we offer top-quality surf lessons in collaboration with trusted local schools. Our surf coaches know the beaches and conditions inside out and will teach you how to surf at safe and fun beach breaks – always with a smile.
