The Surf Clube da Madeira was established over 20 years ago by Miguel Costa and Marco Freitas, two passionate surfers who have embraced the surfing lifestyle and the holistic experience of being in the ocean with just a surfboard. As a premier surfing club in Madeira, we offer world-class surf coaching, guided surf tours, and an unparalleled surfing experience on some of the best waves in the region.
