Progress surf school

Progress isn’t measured by the wave you catch.
It’s measured by the feeling you leave with.

Thoughtful coaching. Genuine connection. Time in the ocean.

At Progress Surf School, our multilingual team creates an experience where every surfer is seen, challenged, and encouraged to grow—at their own pace.

Founded by Joana Andrade, one of Portugal’s pioneering female big wave surfers, our school is built on years of experience, courage, and a genuine passion for helping others progress.

From first waves to longboard style, from women’s retreats to intensive coaching, one thing stays the same:

Progress is always personal.
