ERICEIRA SURF SCHOOL

General information

Michel Amaro has judged international competitions for twenty years with the ISA International Surfing Association. He knows how to evaluate a surfer, where they make mistakes, what they're missing. Miguel Fortes is a Billabong rider, a certified coach by the Portuguese Surfing Federation, who grew up on the waves of Ericeira. Together they founded a school with a single, non-negotiable rule: a maximum of six students per instructor. It's not a random number. It's the difference between receiving real feedback and waiting for your turn in the water. Standard lessons cover all levels, surf tours are guided excursions to the best breaks in the reserve based on the day's conditions, and training camps are for those who want to work on technique and progress in a structured way. Upon request, sessions are filmed, providing material to reflect on out of the water. Ericeira is the right backdrop for this type of approach: diverse waves within a few kilometers, changing conditions, and a community of local surfers who take surfing seriously.
