My friends and I were visiting Lisbon for the first time and were looking for cool things to do. We heard about Epic Surf School and thought it would be cool to go surfing for the first time in Portugal. We called Rui and he was so nice and helpful over the phone. When it came time for the surfing,... More

I bought the surf lesson as a present for my boyfriend so I booked everything a couple of weeks in advance. Rui was fast in responding to my emails and made it super easy for me. On the day of the surf lesson we were the only ones for the morning session, meaning that we had him all to ourselves.... More

Thanks Rui for showing us around, teaching us how to surf and more importantly for being a friend with us :) Like many before me, I booked with EPIC surf school for half a day and it did not disappoint at all! Rui is a very good instructor and I'm sure anyone will have a whale of a good time... More

I booked a surf lesson after checking TripAdvisor’s feedback and have to agree with all the previous feedbacks that Epic Surf School is AWESOME. My friend and I stayed 5 days in Lisbon and spent two of them surfing with the best surf teacher ever. Rui is a great instructor he is patient, encouraging and very professional. Depending on what...

My husband and I were complete beginners. Rui Pedro, our instructor, made surfing easy and fun. He was super responsive to email in advance, picked us up at our hotel, was patient, enthusiastic, and informative throughout and made learning to surf the best experience! After two hours we wanted to surf with him all weekend. Additionally the setting was stunning--beautiful,... More

Epic time at the surf school. I emailed Rui the day before I had time to go, and he got back to me at 9:30pm telling me the good news: that not only did he have a slot for me, but that there were 3 other customers so there would be a reduced group rate at ?45! Solid deal. He... More

I had a super surfing experience with Rui. He was very attentive, professional and helpful and gave me some highly useful tips. I've surfed before, but never had a lesson; kind of wish I had run into him earlier. The pick up service was very convenient and it was a beautiful beach as well. But the main thing was the... More

The Epic Surf School was great and Rui is totally awesome! My girlfriend didnt want to surf so Rui just charged a small fee for transportation to the beach and she was able to lounge near the waves. Instruction was great, I learned a ton, and stood up by the end of our 2 hour lesson! I was stoked! Rui... More

I had 5 days surfing with Rui and I am so glad that I did choose Epic Surf School. It wasn't my first time surfing and not my first surf lesson. But this was for sure the best surf experience I ever had. I still cant believe how much I learned in these few days. I actually also wanted to... More
