In the wave

Origem Surf School is a team of young, energetic coaches who can give you an excellent surf lesson.

Mission

We work every day to give a better service and to grow together, in the water and out of it. We care about the environment and about looking after the places where we teach.

Where we are

We choose different beaches for the best surf conditions, so each student can learn and improve. Guincho and Carcavelos are two of them, and there are more.

Who we are

Personal coaching, steady progress

Lessons take place on the best beaches, chosen for the conditions and for the level of each student. The coaching is personal, the feedback is individual, and students improve.

Origem Surf School works with several partners, because we believe everyone does better when each person works in their own field. We encourage students to use local services and products in Portugal.
