Meet Our Story
Founded in 2012 by Joel “Papu” Pereira, a passionate local surfer from Ericeira, Activity Surf Center was born from a dream. Papu always aspired to open his own surf school in Ericeira—and when the time was right, he turned that dream into reality.

Proudly ranked among the top surf schools in Portugal, we are committed to delivering premium instruction with the best local surf instructors, accredited by the Portuguese Surfing Federation.
