By Madeira New Wave · listed in surf lessons in Madeira
I'd pick this if you want a lesson shaped around your current level. Madeira New Wave includes photos and provides the equipment. Free parking helps if you're driving to Alagoa beach.
The 2 hours session includes preparation on land. After a group briefing, you change into a wetsuit. You warm up and practise on the sand. The coach gives a safety talk before you paddle out.
The published limit is 15 surfers, the largest of these lessons. The Machico and Porto da Cruz options have lower limits.
