This family's experience:

Activities: We went surfing at Guincho Beach. We started with lessons and practiced on the beach before going into the water. We learned to stand on the board

Highlights: My son had his own surf instructor. We both had fun and I overcame my fear of the waves. We had "so much fun" ✨
