And if they say it, it will be because it is totally true. But now we are going to give you more information.

Indeed, Matosinhos is one of the most sought after tourist destinations in summer by both local and foreign visitors, especially by many of those who are currently in Porto given the proximity between the two and how well connected they are (it's as easy as taking the A metro line or the 500 bus line, which takes around half an hour).

It can be said that Praia de Matosinhos is the main reason why people come to this town, but it is also because most of the points of interest in the city are distributed along from the coast Another incentive to come soon to Matosinho is its gastronomic offer, grilled fish and fresh seafood fill any district of the municipality with their aroma.

Its extensive beaches of fine sand, clean water and waves suitable for surfing have made it a place of enormous acceptance among the public. With the idea of providing a competent, professional service, in relation to the practice of surfing, Surfaventura was born in the year 2003, a School which has grown until it is currently positioned as one of the benchmarks in the region.

We not only focus on surfing since we offer activities of paddle surfing, wakeboarding, bodyboarding and even skate. Our facilities are equipped to do all of this and we welcome anyone who wants to meet us. We have an excellent team of trainers that give both group and private lessons, equipment rental or summer camps for children. We contemplate all the options, it is not the first time that we have bachelor parties or birthdays.

Matosinhos is a privileged location for practicing various water sports, especially those related to surfing or any of its modalities. And because? Because this town in the north of Portugal, so close to Porto that it is called the "beach of the Porto people", has a couple of beaches with extensive sand, medium waves , clean waters, which make it an ideal place for surfing.

We carry out our activities on the beach of the same name for various reasons: our facilities are located there, it is the beach better connected in the city, just half an hour from downtown Porto, and the most popular. In addition, close to the port, we can find exquisite fish or seafood restaurants run by families, with a great tradition behind them.

Yes, imagine coming to learn surf and, on top of that, eating like real generals. Well, you can experience all of this at our Surfaventura School, founded back in 2003, with extensive experience in this sector. Likewise, we have a staff made up of a group of certified instructors, federated, who make sure that everything goes perfectly.

You can rent the equipment separately, both the boards and wetsuits of different sizes or thicknesses, or go to one of our >private or collective classes. You don't have to worry if you have never surfed since our instructors provide personalized attention and adapt to the individual level of each student. It has never been so easy to learn.

Likewise, we celebrate company events, birthdays or bachelor parties, the important thing is that you have a good time and have fun together. your loved ones, be they family members, partners or friends. We will be delighted to receive you. The same happens with children, youth, adults or older people. We have had groups of all kinds.

Finally, we must mention that although most of our activities take place in Praia de Matosinhos, we are open to doing them in other nearby beaches if the main one does not meet the conditions required to carry out our classes, especially when it comes to the size of the waves.

Are you going to let them tell you for the umpteenth time or do you prefer to become a real surfer?

What started out as a dream has grown in importance over time, until we have become, in our own right, one of the best water sports centers in all of Portugal. This is how it is and how it will continue to be because we do not stop growing and progressing, incorporating new disciplines and systematically modernizing ourselves.

We have created a solid network of activities that works in one of the most important centers of Portugal for practicing surf. And we already know what they say: that "where there is surfing there is also paddle surfing". And so it is.

We offer the opportunity to receive paddle surfing classes, both private and groups so that you become fond of this modality so original. And we also do it on the beautiful Matosinhos beach, a place that gives us a kilometer-long coastline of golden sand with moderate waves, ideal for these sports.

Matosinhos has many advantages, one of the most important is that it is located almost next to Porto, so it is perfect for visiting the city and coming for the afternoon to spend a day at the beach and try some of these specialties.

But both sports and culinary specialties, because Matosinhos is one of the cradles of Portuguese gastronomy, with countless succulent dishes made up of fish and shellfish.

Going back to paddle surfing, make no mistake, it's not just about getting on a board and advancing with the impulse of an oar. As you can see in the photographs below, although it seems unlikely, with the paddle surf board and the help of the shovel, you will have the opportunity to face waves of remarkable height. You didn't expect that, did you? Normal, you are used to seeing another class of images related to paddle surfing.

We have incredible facilities, located on the same beach where all our activities take place, we have a dream team made up of the best possible instructors, a team of professionals with decades of experience behind them.
