are saying

huge improvement in my surfing

“After an amazing surf session with TSE in May with my friend, I couldn’t resist booking another day in August—this time with my boyfriend.
The instructors are absolutely fantastic: kind, knowledgeable, and so much fun. A special shout-out to Joao for picking us up and helping me catch my very first barrel! The theory and coaching here are excellent, and I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my surfing since joining them.
I’ll definitely be back in May!”

good equipment & great coaches

“I have really enjoyed my 3 days of surf lessons with TSE! They have good equipment and help to select the board that suits your skills and the surf spot best. The coaches are amazing, cheerful and always ready to help, and giving the right tips to accelerate your progress on the water! I can definitely recommend the course!”

- Adrian
helpful & fun

“We have taken a one day surf course, Pedro was our instructor. Could not ask for a more chill and helpful guide, we really enjoyed every moment of it. Thanks for creating such a great memory for us!”

- David
best spots for our level

“We booked surf lessons relatively last minute and the instructors were fantastic. They offered transfers each morning from our apartment in Lagos, and took us to surf camp where we collected our equipment for the day.
They took us to the best spots for our level/ability, and really coached us to improve. We spent the best part of all morning and early afternoon in the water.'‘
