Learn to surf on the beaches of São Miguel in the Azores. Whether you're a beginner or already know the sport, improve your skills in this stunning place!

Few people know that Europe has its own Hawaii: the Azores Islands; an archipelago of nine islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean belonging to Portugal.

Its volcanic origin means that you can find dreamlike cliffs, paradisiacal beaches and beautiful natural parks, some of them with thermal waters such as Terra Nostra Park. The capital of the Azores is São Miguel, an island that receives thousands of tourists every year looking for a change of scenery through its hiking trails or surfing. And indeed, like in Hawaii, the Azores, and São Miguel in particular, is one of the best places in Europe for surfing. If you've never surfed before, or you want to practice your skills, this is your chance to do it!

The surf teachers at Azores Water Gliders offer you their vast knowledge of the sport during these surf lessons in São Miguel, which will be available for beginners or those who already have an intermediate level at the sport. Choosing two of the best surfing beaches in São Miguel, Praia das Milícias, 4 kilometers from Ponta Delgada, or Praia do Areal de Santa Bárbara, depending on your level and the tides, you will have 2 hours to learn all the technical knowledge necessary to start your surfing journey (or continue it): how to enter the water, how to paddle, how to get on the board and keep your balance... Sounds good, doesn't it?

If you've ever dreamed of learning to surf and want to do it in one of the most stunning places in Europe, these surf lessons in São Miguel, in the Azores Islands, are the perfect opportunity!

You can book one lesson or a pack of up to 5 sessions, at the beginner or intermediate level, and simply let the expert instructors guide you into becoming a surfer!

We were almost all beginners and the coaches were so attentive and taking into account the needs of every person in the group. Our daughter was a afraid of the waves and they helped her find her courage and self-belief to make this also for her a great experience. Tx Constantino & Leonardo!

Nous avons essayé pour la première fois le surf ; en famille avec notre fils de 13 ans qui à un symdrome autistique. Les coach ont été très prévenant et attentionné avec tout le petit groupe ; la bienveillance et la gentillesse de Léo et yhorran nous ont fait passer une session magique ; en prime nous sommes tous parvenus à nous redresser sur le surf !
