Get Stoked offers tailored 2-hour surf, bodyboard, and stand up paddle lessons in Lisbon. Perfect for beginners ready to meet the Atlantic waves with expert guides and full gear provided.
Lisbon, Portugal’s coastal capital, is a magnetic draw for ocean lovers, where the Atlantic crash meets urban life. Right here, Get Stoked offers immersive 2-hour lessons in surfboarding, bodyboarding, and stand up paddleboarding that cater specifically to beginners and groups ready to ride the waves. Situated on the Atlantic coast just minutes from Lisbon’s vibrant city center, Get Stoked taps into some of Europe’s most consistent surf breaks along the western edge of the Iberian Peninsula.
The local beaches, like Carcavelos and Costa da Caparica, are known for their sandy bottoms and reliable swell, perfect for novice watermen aiming to build wave confidence. The unique blend of beach breaks and mellow reefs allows instructors to tailor lessons safely to your skill level. Get Stoked’s team of seasoned instructors guides students through paddling technique, wave reading, and ocean safety while providing all necessary equipment — wetsuits, boards, and helmets included.
One standout feature of this experience is the optional video analysis: sessions are recorded and reviewed post-lesson, helping learners spot key areas to improve and making progress tangible. Souvenir photos also capture personal triumphs as you conquer your first rides or glide across the water on a paddleboard.
Get Stoked fills an essential role in Lisbon’s coastal adventure scene, where water sports tourism thrives, yet beginner-friendly, expertly guided instruction remains a high-value niche. Their accessible approach welcomes anyone from families to solo travelers seeking dynamic outdoor activity paired with expert coaching in a world-class surf destination. Whether chasing the swell or finding balance on a SUP board, Get Stoked offers a gateway to Atlantic water sports in one of Europe’s sunniest urban seaside settings.
