Gonçalo es muy profesional, te recomienda siempre las mejores olas adaptadas a tu nivel, es muy puntual y muy serio, fue una gran experiencia, si vuelvo a Azores volveré a contar con él como profe de surf, muy recomendable.Publicado em Google iixinitTrustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google. We took private surf lessons over two days and the coaching was spot-on. The instructor focused on the specific skills we were struggling with, offered constant feedback in the water, and adjusted the drills to our level. Everything was straightforward and professionally organized. We had a great time and would recommend this to anyone who wants a reliable, supportive surf instructor. <3 :)Publicado em Google Nader HDTrustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google.

We where with 4 guys and had a really good time with Gonçalo! He gives really good feedback during the surf lessons and is really enthusiastic and helping us to do better. Would definitely recommend him to start with surfing or to get better when you’re more advanced. Again thanks Gonçalo!Publicado em Google F. P.Trustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google. I had an amazing experience at this surf school. The instructors are extremely professional and well-prepared, and they know exactly how to explain every detail of how to approach and ride the waves. Their step-by-step guidance made it easy to understand not only the technique but also the timing and positioning needed to catch waves safely and effectively. You can tell they’re passionate about teaching and genuinely care about helping each student improve. I left session with more confidence, better control, and an even greater love for surfing. Highly recommended!Publicado em Google Katja HolzmannTrustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google. I can wholeheartedly recommend Gonçalo. From the first lesson, I felt safe, motivated, and inspired. He not only teaches the technical side of surfing with patience and clarity but also shares his passion for the ocean in every session. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some experience, he knows exactly how to guide you to the next level. I left every lesson not only stronger on the board but also happier in my soul. Truly a 5-star experience that comes from the heart!Publicado em Google Slam NationTrustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google. Alquilamos material para medio dia, fue súper amable Gonçalo y a muy buen precio. Hablamos con otras escuelas y eran muy bordes sin duda la mejor opción en la isla!Publicado em Google Armin TopicTrustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google. Gonzalo is helpful and supportive instructor!Publicado em Google Paolo BartoliniTrustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google. Ne manquez pas votre chance !!! C’était de loin ma meilleure expérience de surf. Gonçalo est un professeur super gentil et très empathique. Il adapte le cours en fonction du niveau de chacun pour que tout le monde prenne du plaisir. J’ai eu un cours de 2 heures et il m’a aidé à attraper tellement de vagues (je n’avais fait qu’un cours 2 ans plus tôt)! En plus d’être la meilleure école, vous trouverez pas de meilleurs tarifs sur l’île! Il fournit tout le matériel nécessaire et le contact était clair et rapide. A faire absolument!!! Obrigado Gonçalo 🏄♂️🤙
From Ribeira Grande to the world
Born in the Atlantic, made for surfing
My name is Gonçalo and I’m 26 years old. I was born and raised in São Miguel, Azores, more specifically in Ribeira Grande, also known as the surf capital. When I was 12, my parents enrolled me in a surf school and, since then, I haven’t gone a day without surfing!
Azores Surf Holidays was born from a strong desire to offer people what surfing and the ocean give me… freedom, peace and fun!
