“Me and 8 friends had a group surfing lesson on Guincho beach, with João and his team. It was 10 out of 10. Such a nice relaxed, friendly team of instructors, it felt like you were spending time with friends. Really great teaching and support while out at sea, made for a really fun experience that I would highly recommend.”

“I really enjoyed my first surfing lesson.with Cascais Routes yesterday ! They really took great care of me and explained a lot of things about surfing. Although it was a small group lesson , I alwalys had a teacher by my side. I really felt that it was a private lesson. Had a great time in Guincho beach !”
