NUNO GONÇALVES
I love to give surf lessons because of the joy of seeing people overcoming their dificulties in surfing. Even after 20 years of teaching, there's nothing better than watching students creating a healty addiction to surfing.

LOCATION
THE SURF CAPITAL OF EUROPE
Ericeira is one of THE SURF CAPITALS OF EUROPE situated on the west coast of Portugal, a 40-minute drive from Lisbon. Even though it’s a popular place, and widely recognized for its excellent waves, this beautiful coastal town has managed to keep a low-key, chilled vibe.
Ericeira has a rustic charm, quirky local restaurants and colourful cafés. All nestled on dramatic cliffs overlooking the ocean and surrounded by world-class beaches and surf spots, it’s the perfect framework for living out your surf dream.
Our surf school is situated in the city center.
