Feel Caparica is a surf school and experience provider based in Fonte da Telha, Setúbal, offering a broad range of lessons and surf packages for visitors, families and students. The company organizes group and private lessons, kids’ programs, half-day and full-day surf experiences, corporate and birthday sessions, and recurring monthly classes for young learners. Most standard sessions run two hours and include practical instruction, safety briefings and hands-on time in the water. Several offerings explicitly note certified instructors and provision of necessary equipment for full-day and half-day packages. Lessons are tailored by skill level, from beginner safety and basic technique to guided practice for more experienced participants. Small group formats and private lessons provide lower instructor-to-student ratios for more personalized feedback. Family and kids’ packages focus on age-appropriate coaching and a supportive, fun environment. School and student programs are designed to accommodate educational groups with attention to safety and supervision. The operation runs at a beach location in Fonte da Telha, within the Setúbal area, giving access to suitable surf conditions mentioned in trip descriptions.
