Private surf Lessons in Ericeira
Our Recommendation
Learning to surf is not different from learning anything else. Taking a surf class and having a teacher will make you learn much faster than when you’re trying to learn on your own. If you want to learn even faster and have the money to spend, you should definitely get private surf lessons in Ericeira.
The Difference Between Groups Classes and Private Surf lessons in Ericeira
Taking private surf lessons in Ericeira is unfortunately much more expensive than a group lesson. However, if you want to maximize the speed of your learning, it can very well be worth it.
When you take surf classes in Ericeira there should according to regulations never be more than 6 people on one teacher. But regardless of if it’s just 6 people, you may still feel as if you don’t receive enough teacher attention. Or if you are on a different level than the other students in your class, you may feel as if you are getting held back and not learning according to your level.
If you take a private surf lesson in Ericeira instead, you will get the teachers full attention, and a personalized lesson according to your level. Thus when you want to learn as much surfing as possible in as short amount of time as possible, a private lesson is great.
Choosing a Surf School in Ericeira
There are lots of surf schools in Ericeira and they all offer everything from group lessons to surf tours and private lessons. If you just want to take one surf lesson to try it out, it may not make a huge difference which school you choose.
If you on the other hand are serious about wanting to learn to surf, or wanting to improve your surf skills, the school and teacher you choose can actually make a big difference. Especially if you are planning to take a private surf lesson in Ericeira. Then it’s even more important to make sure that you choose the right one.
Why You Should Choose Carefully
When we are not working on this website we run our guesthouse Villa dos Irmãos. During the first years of running our guesthouse we had lots of guests trying different schools and giving us different feedback. And not only did the school matter to our guests, but of course also the teachers. Sometimes our guests really liked the lesson the first day. But the next day there was a different teacher. And unfortunately that teacher wasn’t as excited about teaching as the previous teacher.
Another important thing to consider when choosing a school is that in Ericeira each surf school has a license that allows them to teach at certain beaches. And to be honest, not all of those beaches are equally good for beginners.
Since last year however, when we found out about Marcio and his brother Felipes surf school – The Ocean, we stopped sending people to other surf schools.
Why We Chose to Recommend The Ocean Surf School for Classes and Private Surf Lessons
Marcio and his brother are amazing surfers and amazing surf teachers. And as you will notice once you meet them, are they not only passionate about surfing. They are also really passionate about the ocean. Even to the extent that they decided to call their surf school; The Ocean. On top of this, they are super friendly. All of our friends here in Ericeira who are still learning to surf, are taking their lessons with The Ocean. And they love it.
Of course Marcio and Felipe also have all the surf instructor certifications that’s needed.
Undivided Attention in a Calm Setting
When you are ready they will pick you up from where you are staying. And since they both prefer teaching in a calm setting away from the crowds, they will usually bring you a bit further away from the other surf schools and crowded beaches.
So if you want to make the most out of your surf lessons. And get the undivided attention of a surf teacher that’s truly passionate about developing your surf skills, we highly recommend group classes and private surf lessons with Marcio and Felipe.
