Fantastic! I'm a semi experienced surfer (I surf at home but am VERY rusty). Everything about this was great. The school is right across the street from a very beginner friendly surf break. They waves are gentle and consistent. Depending on your level, there are different parts of the break they'll take you to. The water is cold so be ready for that (For you Americans, it's similar to the water temperature in NYC or San Francisco) They provide wetsuits so don't stress.
On top of that, you can leave all your things in lockers at the school so there's no worrying about dropping something on the beach.
I definitely recommend working with Abel. He was my instructor and he was friendly and experienced. Such a nice guy. I'd always struggled with turning left (like zoolander) and during the session I pulled off some of the cleanest left turns of my life.
If you want to surf in porto, look no further.
