It was my first time surfing and I’m more than happy that I chose Filsurf. Moreno, the instructor, picked up us at hotel and drove us to a lovely beach with great waves. You could feel the professionalism and passion that Moreno has for surfing. Honestly, I was not the best at it, but Moreno was really patient with me and encouraged me to continue and be better. If we didn’t have to leave earlier from Lagos because of our cancelled flight, we would 100 % join more lessons! 🙂

We booked 6 days with Moreno und Filipe and it was fantastic. Each day it have been getting better. Both instructors are very professional and super friendly. You can feel that they love surfing and the sea. First we started with another surfing school in Lagos but they didn't teach us well. So if you want to learn surfing in Lagos THIS is the place to be. We will come back as soon as possible.

Todo un lujo contar con Filipe para nuestra clase de iniciación al surf. Fue muy atento y paciente con nosotras. Nos recogió a la hora indicada y estuvimos casi dos horas en el agua. Nos dio muy buenos consejos y lo pasamos genial. ¡Muchas gracias!

I had a great time getting surf lessons from Moreno and Filipe. They showed us a really good spot and helped us catch some pretty big waves for beginners. They did a great job coaching us about the ocean and when the right time to catch a wave is. They also helped me with information about the right equipment to get. for example what brand of wetsuit and what type would be best for me. They were super knowledgeable and I would recommend them to anyone who is visiting and wants to catch some waves 🤙🏽

Not our first time at a surf class but definitely the best. Picked us up and brought us to an amazing surfing spot to find the best conditions of the day. Teacher well prepared and super friendly, we had so much fun on our first day that we booked another class for the following day. We felt really safe and had a lot of fun with our instructor Moreno

My favorite experience in Lagos. Moreno was a perfect surf instructor and the best I’ve had thus far. He was very patient and simplified the technique to enable me to get up on my board on the same day. I highly recommend! The wetsuits provided were very thick and I’d suggest bringing a sunscreen stick for your face.
