Summary:
Surf Riders in Ericeira is an absolute must! My time with them was the best experience ever. The instructors are genuinely the kindest and most fun people you could ask for. Every lesson was a blast – so encouraging and packed with great advice. I learned a ton and felt truly motivated. Even after leaving Portugal, I still keep in touch with the Surf Riders crew. Seriously, if you're heading to Ericeira, you have to go to Surf Riders!
