Lisbon Surf & SUP

Lisbon Surf & SUP operates from Costa da Caparica—the long stretch of beach breaks just across the river from Lisbon that locals have surfed for decades. The team brings over 25 years of collective experience and speaks four languages, making them effective guides for the international crowd that discovers this coast. The "surf like a local, with a local" philosophy means daily spot selection based on actual conditions rather than fixed schedules. Costa da Caparica's 30 kilometers of beach offer different setups depending on swell direction and tide—knowledge that takes years to acquire and that guests benefit from immediately. Beyond traditional surf lessons, Lisbon Surf & SUP has built out experiences that combine activities: yoga followed by surf followed by organic brunch. The Kids Wave Lab provides structured programming for younger surfers. SUP tours explore calmer sections when conditions don't favor surfing. As a RNAAT-registered operator, they meet Portugal's tourism licensing requirements—a detail that matters for quality assurance.
