Program

This Kids & Family Surf School is the perfect place for your family’s surfing vacation in the Algarve.

ASA Algarve Sea Adventures offers surf courses for kids at an age of 6 years or older or even the whole family. They make sure to bring your little ones and you into contact with this exciting sport in a safe and fun way. Kids under the age of 12 need a little more supervision. They ensure this important individual attention as well as a safe and caring atmosphere by operating at a ratio of one surf instructor per four kids.

Small surfers have the ability to learn surfing faster, easier, and differently from adults. Therefore, the lessons are especially tailored to children. For parents joining the lesson, please be assured that they chose the beach with a focus on the little ones. The team will do their best that your day at the beach with them will be one of the top highlights of your vacation and maybe your first family surf trip!!

FAQs

How does it work?

You'll meet at the Quinta Formosinho in Praia da Luz. The course usually runs two sessions:

  • Early bird : 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.
  • Lazy afternoon: 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.

Meeting time is always 15 minutes before the lesson starts. All surfers will be equipped with a wetsuit and a soft board.

Is my kid old enough?

This surf camp requires kids for the Kids Surf Lesson to be 6 years old or older. If your kid loves the ocean, is able to swim, and wants to surf, then it is the right time. If your kid is afraid of the ocean, ASA Algarve Sea Adventures would recommends waiting one more year with the first surf lesson! ;)

Can parents participate in the surf lesson?

Yes for sure, but please know that 80% of the focus lies on your kids. They will give instructions to the parents, but if you look for a 100% surf lesson, then you should book another surf package.

What does my kid have to bring to a surf lesson?

Bottle of water (minimum 1L), snack, sun protection (protection factor 50+, water resistant and ideally ocean friendly), medical personal belongings, signed form by a parent or legal guardian including contact number.

  • You will soon get into a newly-built roundabout.
  • Take the exit to Luz, the one after the exit to Sagres and Vila do Bispo, and stay on that road for five minutes.
  • After that, you will see white buildings on the left-hand side and at the entrance, you see a small sign that says Quinta Formosinho.
