Located in the city of Ribeira Grande, on the island of São Miguel, in Las Azores. The island of São Miguel is considered the most beautiful and diverse of the Azores. It is known as "the Green Island" by its mountain landscape of volcanic origin. Ribeira Grande is on a volcanic plateau on the sea. Surf in the Azores Islands enjoys that mystery within the surfing world and there are still few foreign surfers who approach the archipelago, despite the many quality waves that exist. Azores Surf Center offers surf classes for all levels and from 7 years. The school is approved by the Portuguese Surf Federation and all its instructors are certified by it and by the International Surfing Association. Classes develop on the beach of militias in the winter season and on the beach of Santa Barbara in summer. Anyway, the surf point is decided every day according to climatic conditions. The schedule of the lessons is not fixed either, since they always take place in low tide to guarantee the safety of the students. For beginners they have soft foam plates and for the most experienced fiberglass boards and epoxy short boards. Not only are they dedicated to the teaching of surf sport, but also to inform about how to take care and respect the marine environment, working in association with the Surfrider Foundation Azores in order to encourage surfers to take care of the waters and beaches of the islands. To stay can advise several types of establishments from Ribeira Grande.
