AV Surf Academy, located on Costa da Caparica, is much more than a surf school. It’s a place where the ocean is truly lived and felt. Run by Ary, a Cape Verdean surfer, each lesson is a real experience. While learning how to surf with great technique and care, you also hear nostalgic stories from the seas of Cape Verde, full of culture, memory, and deep respect for the ocean. Ary shares not only his surfing knowledge but also his identity and passion, creating a unique connection between Portugal and Cape Verde. AV Surf Academy offers surf lessons both in Portugal, in the Costa da Caparica area, and in Cape Verde. For more information, just contact the academy.
