The windsurfing sessions with Adam were great! I now feel confident going windsurfing by myself. Even though i stayed in other accommodation due to the camp being full (a testament to how good Algarve Watersport is) I still felt like I was part of the camp thanks to the friendly staff. James and DD in particular made an extra special effort to make me feel at home.

Really great experience. Staff professional and friendly.
Nice small class size.
We were both complete beginners and by the end of our lesson we were both able to stand and do some basic manoeuvres on the board.
Really enjoyed it - would 100% recommend and if we return to the area, we will be giving it another go!
Thanks to the team for an amazing experience!

I don't know what the Surf courses will be like but of course our experience with the Windsurf course was terrible both because of the place where the activity took place and because of the instructor.
€100 per person for a 2-hour Windsurfing “course” in the Ria de Alvor in the interior of Lagos where the temperature was very high and the lack of water in the estuary did not help make it more bearable. The only explanation they gave us was for us to assemble the equipment ourselves, the rest of the time we spent alone in the estuary doing what we could while at least one of the instructors dedicated himself to Windsurfing on his own without even asking us how it was. we were.
After two hours of beating we had to carry all the material back to the van through the mud. I think that at the very least they should have worried about checking the level of the estuary at that time/week or at least informing us that we were below minimum levels.
Experience not to be repeated, that's what we did.
If I have to recommend a place it would be the Martinal school in Sagres. It has improved a lot this last year, new material, paradisiacal enclave and eager teachers.
On a positive note, we would like to highlight how beautiful the camp facility is with a swimming pool, a site that we visited in just 5 minutes so that they would inform us where to go to carry out the activity.

Dear Andrea,
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your windsurfing experience with us. We appreciate your input and want to ensure that you have a clear understanding of our approach.
We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during the activity. It's important to note that we always strive to provide the best possible experience for our participants. While external factors like tides and weather conditions can occasionally affect the session's quality, we do our utmost to optimize the conditions available to us and are always using the best timing.
The safety and satisfaction of our customers are paramount to us. We diligently monitor the conditions before each lesson, and while we acknowledge the challenges posed by the lagoon's tide dependency, we adapt as best we can to provide a fulfilling experience. This may sometimes involve scheduling sessions during low tide to maximize the wind's potential.
Regarding the instruction and guidance provided, we sincerely apologize if you felt there was a lack of engagement from our instructor. We're confident in the competence of our instructors and their dedication to ensuring participants receive proper guidance throughout the session. It's worth noting that our instructors are not only there to teach 1 person but also have to to offer assistance and support to the other students of the group lesson, which in this case might have seemed like the instructor was windsurfing on his own.
We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continually improve our services and communication. We are confident that our lessons are of high quality and designed to provide a positive experience for all participants.
Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts. If you have any further comments or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.
Sincerly, Becca

Surfing lessons were an amazing adventure thanks to Mateo and Angel. Both were very supportive, patient and professional, with a good sense of humor at the same time. Especially Mateo has huge empathy which makes him an exceptional teacher. I highly recommend classes by AWS.

Andy was a very good a teacher/Instructor. I sometime can be water phobia but he reassured me that everything was going to be alright. It was a great experience having to try out a new activity and I really enjoyed.
Will recommend anyone visiting Lagos Argave Portugal to try this out. It was a great choice of activities for my partner and I .
The facilities are lovely with a good swimming pool and cold beer provided by Fritz :)
I hope to come back soon in future to complete the full course as I will be traveling to England tomorrow.

I came to aws for one week to windsurf and had the best time! I loved the food, always fresh and with lots of variety. I was super thankful for the daily yoga sessions before or after surfing. I booked a bedroom for two and shared it with a guy which was no problem at all. Everybody at camp was very laid back and the team was super chill!
