“I had a great experience during the surfing lesson. The instructor was friendly, patient, and explained everything clearly. We started with a short introduction on the beach, and then spent most of the time practicing in the water. I felt safe and supported throughout the session. The equipment was in good condition, and the group size was just right. I managed to stand up on the board a few times, which made the whole activity really fun and exciting. Overall, it was an enjoyable and memorable experience that I would definitely recommend.”

“Die Aktivität war okay. Leider wurde in der früh die Entscheidung getroffen, vom Strand mit Wellen zum Strand ohne Wellen zu wechseln. Als Begründung wurde die starke Strömung angeführt. Jedoch war hier der Hintergrund, dass es durch die Strömung wohl zu anstrengend gewesen wäre, den Unterricht durchzuführen. Lebensgefährdende Gründe wurden nicht angeführt. Surfen ohne Wellen macht nunmal keinen Spaß.”

“Awesome experience. Clear meeting instructions. Very friendly. Full safety equipment. Originally we had booked for 12 and 2. However, we was contacted the day before and said we could both go out at the same time. One on the paddleboard and one on the e.foil then kept swapping for the 2hr slot. This made the experience better. Rodrigo gave great instructions to use the E.Foil. We would definitely recommend Sea4fun madeira. We will do it again when we return to this beautiful island.”
