1. Learn something new together as a family.
Do you want to create new memories and learn something new together? Surfing can be both challenging, fun, and frustrating until you suddenly master the waves and feel the pride wash over you. With the help of our dedicated and experienced surf instructors, the whole family will quickly progress in both surfing and spirit. Additionally, you’ll receive both photos and videos to take home with you, capturing your experience and preserving your journey. At Magnus & friends, we believe that anyone who can ski or snowboard can learn how to surf. We’ve developed a methodology that makes the learning process easier. We use large, long surfboards and accompany you all the way into the water, pushing you onto the board and shouting when it’s time to stand up. If you can stand up from lying on the floor, you can stand up on a surfboard. Learning to surf is like learning to ride a bike; once you’ve learned, you’ll never forget the feeling of throwing yourself into the ocean, and you can share that feeling and memories with each other.
When faced with the same challenges, such as learning how to surf, there’s every opportunity in the world to grow closer and strengthen the bond between you, all while experiencing a truly unique surf culture in what is known as “The Portuguese Capital of Waves.”
2. Alone time for both adults and children.
Both adults and children may need some alone time during the vacation! During the surf sessions, children usually surf with other children, and adults with other adults. This means everyone gets some alone time during the 5 surf sessions. Additionally, two after-surf activities are included each week. Our staff takes the youth and children for activities and games customized to their respective ages for about 1.5 hours. Meanwhile, parents have the opportunity to enjoy a glass of wine/beer or non-alcoholic beverage and relax in the sunset, discussing the day’s adventures and experiences. This is usually highly appreciated by both children and adults.For the youth, it’s also easy to make new friends through activities such as volleyball or a dip in the pool between the waves, and especially during the meals together. There’s room for everyone to unwind, embark on adventures with newfound acquaintances, or enjoy an ice cream in the evening sun.
3. Relaxation
Surfing is associated with a lifestyle that is the total opposite from the everyday stress and worries. A surf trip is often exactly what’s needed to detatch from the everyday routine and unwind from the hustle and bustle of daily life. With its beautiful nature and surrounding environment, bright sandy beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters, Baleal is considered a sanctuary for those seeking a tranquil oasis to recharge their batteries.Seize the opportunity to immerse yourself in the sounds of the sea and restore your energy through exercise and wonderful company.

Surfing is for everyone; if I can do it, so can you! While there’s been a stereotype of surfers fitting a certain image, there’s truly nothing defining who can or cannot surf.
