Portimão Surf Club

We are a non-profit association founded in 2014 with 56 founding members, on the initiative of multi-champion surfer Francisco Canelas and Dr. Jorge Mimoso, with the aim of developing the sports, social and cultural disciplines of SURF, SKATE, BODYBOARD and SUP in the Algarve. The club has evolved successfully, in the first 5 years it brought together more than 500 members and trained more than 1,000 students.
We are located on the sandy beach of Praia da Rocha, Portimão, very close to the sea and the river, right next to the pier within the beach’s Sports Area. Our facilities include a storage room, men’s and women’s changing rooms and a large deck perfect for enjoying the sun.
The club office is in the Santa Catarina fortress on the Portimão Marina road and is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 9h00 to 18h00.
The club is responsible for organizing and co-organizing with other entities some of the most important surf, skate and bodyboard events in the Algarve, such as official championships, local meetings, nature protection actions, etc.
We also have Stand Up Paddle tours available with an experienced instructor who guides us through the best places, caves, passages through the “arches” of the rocks, with stops at unique beaches where we do yoga, all in full communion with nature.
