Boa Onda Surf School

An Aljezur-area school offering both surf and bodyboard classes, plus independent equipment rental. Accommodation and yoga are additional options, while the teaching programme provides an alternative for visitors who want bodyboarding rather than stand-up surfing.

What to expect

Boa Onda’s school programme expressly includes surfing and bodyboarding, rather than treating all board tuition as the same activity. Equipment rental is offered separately. The business also advertises accommodation around Arrifana and the Aljezur coast, giving visitors a choice between a lesson booking and a more complete stay.

Tell the team which discipline you want to learn and whether you need tuition or rental equipment. The school is based around Monte Clérigo and Vale da Telha; agree the teaching meeting point for the selected session, particularly when staying in another part of Aljezur.

Planning your visit

  • Surf and bodyboard tuition are both advertised.
  • Rentals do not automatically include a lesson.
  • Agree the session’s meeting location.
