The Team
Over the last years we have been following the same passion surfing around the globe, making friends and exploring new places. We all fell in love with São Miguel Island and cannot wait for you to experience its beauty with us. During your stay we are not only bringing you to the best surf spots but want to offer you an unique experience that you will never forget. Therefore, we organize daily tours to our favourite spots around the island and serve daily family dinners with specialities from the region. Of course, we are always happy to answer any question and give the insider tip you could need.
