WHAT FAMILIES SAY ABOUT OUR SURF SCHOOL IN CASCAIS

We have had the best best time here all week. Our son has been taking classes every day for over a week and has gone from beginner to being really confident on the board. He has also had the best time with all the instructors, Thiago, Danny, Miguel and Fabio together with Alex has made him feel like part of the team joking around and having fun. Thanks for a great week!

Tried this surf school two adults and a 12 year old. All of us had a really great time. They are both professional and witty , so classes are both helpful and super fun. Will recommend to beginners any day.

Family Surfing

Amazing family experience. We visited with 2 adults and 3 kids aged 11, 9, and 5 for our first surf lesson. The team was super friendly, professional, and highly qualified. Our 5-year-old watched from the beach and cheered us on the whole time. It was a fantastic experience for the entire family and we would absolutely recommend it. The value for money was exceptional as well!

I took 5 beginner surf lessons at Moana Surf School and had an amazing time!! Alex, the owner, is very kind and helpful, and the surf instructors are great as well. Everything was easy and uncomplicated from start to finish. The waves were perfect, the beach was beautiful, and there are showers and sanitary facilities directly on site :) I can highly recommend Moana Surf School to everyone!!

Moana Surf School is a fantastic surf school. The instructors are extremely friendly, welcoming, and especially great with children. The teachers know exactly how to work with kids, which made the experience even better for our family. We had an amazing time — thank you to the whole team! The school surfs at a beautiful spot on Guincho Beach.

MEET ALEX — SURF COACH, FATHER & FOUNDER

Alex grew up by the ocean in Papua New Guinea and started surfing at a very young age. After travelling to surf spots around the world and teaching in Hawaii, he came to Portugal to open one of the first surf schools at Guincho Beach.

For Alex, surfing has always been about people, nature, and sharing good moments in the ocean. Today he enjoys teaching kids, families, beginners, and groups while creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere at Moana Surf School.

During winter, Alex follows his passion for big waves in Nazaré and enjoys mountain adventures, snowboard touring, and connecting with like-minded people from around the world.

We believe in surfing, outdoor living, and protecting the ocean for future generations.

"I’m a dad and big-wave surfer in Portugal — but what matters most to me is helping kids and families feel confident in the water."
