About AroundFreedom - Madeira

Welcome to Madeira Island!

Have you ever dreamed of surfing on Madeira Island? Aroundfreedom Surf School will help you to realize that dream.

We will pick you up from your accommodation, Surf Camp or Hotel and take you to the best Surf spots that Madeira has to offer to start surfing! Surf spots are carefully chosen according to the waves and weather forecast, and your Surfing level.

Your surf lesson starts after a brief briefing, warm-up and practice on the sand, then let's go surfing. Yes, you are going to ride a wave! You will achieve something in two hours, which it took me six months to learn alone with friends, over 30 years ago without a coach ...

After class we will relax a bit and recharge in one of the local cafes or restaurants before we return to your accommodation or Surf Camp to rest and prepare for the next Surf session.

Don't miss this opportunity to surf on Madeira Island. We and the waves are waiting for you! "ALOHA"
