Miguel
Hey Im Miguel! 👋🏼
I’m a dedicated surf coach who values safety, focus, and steady progress in the water.
Whether it’s hands-on guidance or video analysis, I help people build confidence and improve their technique. 🌊
Staying fit is part of how I show up – for myself and for those I coach. 💪🏼
I might look serious sometimes, but it’s usually just because I’m hungry. I am chilled but also committed, with a soft spot for dry humor – let’s level up your surf together. 🏄 -

Edu
Hey i‘m Edu 👋🏼
Born and raised in Caparica,
I swapped the kitchen for the ocean – cooking used to be my job, but surfing has always been my true passion.🧑🏼🍳🏄♂️
Been riding waves since I was 14 (yeah… do the math, I’m getting old). That’s nearly two decades in the water!
Also been skating since I could walk and can teach you how to Surfskate 🛹
I am communicative, enthusiastic, and 100% passionate about what I do. ⚡️
Let’s surf, laugh, and make your time here unforgettable! ✨ -

Lucas
Hey, I’m Lucas 👋🏼
Born and raised in front of the beach in Brazil 🇧🇷
I started surfing at around 12/13 with my cousins… and from that moment on, I never stopped. Surfing became part of my life, my lifestyle 🌊
At 18, I became a Lifeguard in Imbituba, SC – and spent 6 years working daily on the beach. When I moved to Portugal 🇵🇹, I realized I could turn my passion into a profession – and started teaching surfing.
Surfing changed my life. Now I get to share that feeling with others.
Let’s surf together 🏄♂️🌞 -

Ammie
Hi, I’m Ammie 👋🏼
ocean lover, pedagogue & surf coach.
My mission is to share my passion with anyone who wants to experience the joy of surfing.
With my background in pedagogy, it’s the perfect match to offer my students the best possible surf experience. 🏄🏼♀️
I love working with positive affirmations. If the whitewash ever feels overwhelming, just think: these are puppies that want to play with you. 🐶
My perfect day off? A full day of surfing—whether longboarding or shortboarding, depending on the wave conditions—soaking up the sun and spending time with friends at the beach 🌊 -

Merel
Hey I‘m Merel! 👋🏼
Rules are made on the land, that is why you will always find me in the sea! Happy to share my love for the ocean with you!
When you don’t find me in the water I will be probably in the gym or on the promenade skating. Being outdoors and in balance with my body it what makes me feel alive.When I am coaching I always try to find a balance as well in every surf lesson. I want to meet my students exactly where they are in their journey and together we set goals and celebrate little wins of each session.
