ABOUT US
Ripar Surf School is a local and well-respected family run business, founded by Rui Pedro in 2001. Being a local surfer, his dream was to share his passion for surfing and for the Portuguese culture. Ripar Surf School was born!
"You have to believe in your dreams! In 2001 only a few surf schools existed in Portugal. I quit my secure job to open this surf school. People called me crazy. Since then we've been helping hundreds of people to fulfil their dreams of riding waves. Now I have an excellent surf instructor team working with me. I'm very proud of them. My wife helps me at the school office and we have two kids. This dream supports my family. We are living the dream!" Rui Pedro

EQUIPMENT
At RIPAR you can find the best learner specific boards and warm wetsuits for all different sizes, weights and body shapes.
We upgrade our equipment every year, which means our surf gear will be your best friend.
As you improve, we can also supply more advanced boards for the intermediate and advanced surfer.
We have available soft boards, epoxy, fibreglass and NEW polycarbonate surfboards.
CERTIFICATION
RIPAR, as one of the first surf school and surf camp in the region, was always ahead in terms of licences, surf insurances and certifications. Several times we had meetings with the Portuguese Surfing Federation, the Portuguese Government and local City Hall, in order to help them stablish the best strategy in terms of licences and certifications for the surf schools. We are PROUD for that!
