SUP surfing course in Lisbon, Portugal

[Lake Paddler]

Dear Zoners,

I am spontaneously going to Lisbon, Portugal for a few days and looking for a SUP surfing course. Is there any place or instructor that you would recommend?

BTW, I read about Tiago's Mauka Lodge in other threads but 50 min drive from Lisbon is a bit too much for me.

Looking forward to your advice!

Best

call tiago at mauka---his groups often surf by lisbon or even south of lisbon when wind's wrong in ereceira

closest ever to death in water at ereceira--completely my fault, got lucky---paddling out, i thought i could cut through the top three feet of a monster wave---not that monster wave! top 3 feet was thick and powerful, and threw me backwards over some powerful falls--then held me for a while--had i ditched and dove deep i would have been fine--bad move

i surfed by lisbon for 4/6 days, when at at mauka "retreat"

not sure if tiago can meet you in lisbon or what, but he's a really nice guy, who might be able to accomodate you, and would know anyone else who might be able

my surfing experience with him was great---he worked doggedly to get us two good sessions perday, and he drove us a lot to get that---along the way we ate great meals at local restaurants, and even tour the lisbon aquarium one day, btwn sessions

if there was a glitch, it was that the heat in his house was not great---but i tripped with tiago 2 yrs ago, and im sure he's got that ironed out

and like i said, the surfing end of the deal was excellent

Thanks a lot for your advice! I read about some of your nice experiences at Mauka retreat in other threads. That monster wave sounds intimidating. Thank God you survived it!

Thanks Rick! Too bad that I'm already leaving on next Sunday. Otherwise it might be possible to hang with you guys. I hope you will have loads of fun in Portugal!
