Same thing for the breaks in between, you don’t need to do the surf course in a row, you can split the surfing days, how you desire, and according to your availability.
Pick up
We will have a car going to Lisbon at lunch time, either to drop you off after your Surf lesson, or to pick you up for the afternoon Surf lesson.
Yes you can, the beach is beautiful!
But if this is the case, we can't promise you that we will have room in the car for you later. You might come back wtih your own trasport (Taxi/Uber/Bolt works really well and it's pretty cheaper as well).
Anyway you can always ask us at the end of the day, if we would have room in the car we will bring you back
We have a central meeting in front of Titanic Sur Mer Café: https://goo.gl/maps/QmqQwCrbTQFGVtha8
The pick up spot is next to ferry boat harbor, in Cais do Sodré area.
Usually, at 10h00am, and another at 2h00pm
The time of the pick up can vary depending on the weather conditions (tides, swells and winds)
We have a 10 minutes tolerance, but if you send us an email, sms or a whatsapp, explaining what’s happening, we will wait for you.
We can get stuck in traffic sometimes, and if that happens, we will send you an email, or a whatsapp, (if we have your number), letting you know. There are other Surf schools doing the pick up at that spot, so make sure you get in the right van. Confirm your name with the Surf instructor, and the name of the school.

If you want, we can take pictures with our go pros or cameras and send them to you after. Just let us know, and we will come prepared.
Yes, but it will not be an easy task to Surf and still take pictures or videos, as you will need to be focused and to use all of your body. You can’t use the go pro with the chest mount, or with the wrist mount. Only with the head mount.
The Surf instructor can use your go pro to take pics and videos of you Surfing.
