Riccardo
Riccardo, founder and owner of Boa Onda Guesthouse, is an experienced and knowledgeable surfer, having travelled the world to surf some of its greatest waves. Originally from Italy, his passion for surf brought him to Peniche where he decided to create Boa Onda to share his love and knowledge for the sport. He has been instructing surf for many years in the Peniche area and has worked with surfers young and old, beginner and advanced. He has a keen technical knowledge of surfing and excellent ability to read the ocean, which he enjoys sharing with his students in group and private classes.

Miguel
Born and raised in the nearby Praia de Santa Cruz area, Miguel grew up with the ocean as his playground. A natural surfer, Miguel is passionate about sharing his knowledge with others and helping surfers of all levels find the joy in the sport. He has been instructing surf in Peniche since 2015 and has a variety of teaching experience from working with children to more advanced surfers. He is an attentive teacher who takes an individualised approach, providing specific tips to improve your surfing. When he isn’t teaching, Miguel loves to travel to experience other cultures.

Chiara
Chiara is an experienced yogi and qualified yoga teacher who has her own studio in Ravenna, Italy. In the summer time she lives here in Peniche where she offers our guests yoga classes featuring hatha and vinyasa asanas. Her classes focus on correct alignment and feature sequences designed to develop strength and flexibility, a perfect compliment for surfing. Chiara is also qualified to provide Thai massage, having trained in Bangkok at the Wat pho International School of Thai Massage.

"Perfect trip "
Wow what can I say, from the moment you arrive the staff make you feel so welcome and relaxed. Once settled in you see the schedule for the next day (surf and yoga) and can start to plan your day. The surf instructors are great. Enthusiastic, passionate but also fun and encouraging for a beginner like me! The yoga teachers also are very good and lovely people. I feel lucky that during my stay about 10 of us were solo travellers so we went for dinner and drinks every day together and became a family. The beach is close, taxis are cheap to explore other areas (beaches, restaurants and bars) but most of all if you want time away in a more rustic style environment to relax, then this is definitely for you. 4 days has felt like a 2 week trip for me. Thanks Riccardo and team I will definitely be back!

We had the most fantastic 4 days in Boa Onda. They were very well organised ensuring we fit in all our activities. Ricardo and staff are fun, caring and efficient. They made sure we had everything we needed. They gave us great information on the area. We enjoyed every moment. It was our fiist time surfing 🏄. Miguel was so enthusiastic and genuinely happy for you when you managed the surfing skills. Highly recommend him as an instructor.
The yoga instructor was very professional, we had daily classes, very clear instructions. she gives a fantastic Thai massage.
We really enjoyed meeting fellow guests from all over the world

"Excellent Experience "
I loved the ambience of the guest house, very calm, such a place to just chill. Every staff member was lovely, helpful and fun. The bed was good, the breakfast is composed with super fresh ingredients, different everyday, the bathrooms are good.
They had several surf teachers and different beach locations according to the waves everyday. They also had 3 different yoga teachers, but all of them were great and knew how to really make you enjoy your practice.

"Great surf and yoga retreat"
Riccardo is the best surf instructor I’ve ever had. The yoga lessons were also good and all guests and staff at the house very friendly. They also offer other activities at the guesthouse, such as thai massage, skateboard rental, etc. In general, it was a great experience, better than expected!

"Great surf and yoga lessons"
Surf lessons are taking place in a small group. This is perfect as the instructors are really paying attention to everyone; thus providing individual coaching and feedback. The package of surfing with yoga is a great combination. The yoga lessons were diverse and very enjoyable (to ease muscles into relaxation, making aches and pains from surfing fade away).
Atmosphere in the Guesthouse is very friendly and welcoming for all (extroverts & introverts). If you rent a car, it is a great starting point to explore Portugal and other surf spots.

"Friendliest place in Portugal"
Boa Onda is not just any hostel, it's one of the most comfortable and friendliest places in Portugal. They have everything you need there, it is cleaner than any other hostel I've been so far, the kitchen is good, the outside area is awesome, especially the yoga terrace. Surf and yoga lessons were awesome, the beach is one minute walking and was never crowded, sometimes you even had it almost to yourself. Be aware that Consolacao (the village) is basically dead, although there are two or three nice places for dinner and a nice pasteleria, you would need to have a car or rent a bike to go to peniche or baleal - but I liked the calmness, it feels very relaxed and you're far away from busy roads or people. exactly what i needed :)

"Correct"
Very nice and welcoming girls in the office, thank to Kirby who lent us her roof rack we had an amazing surfing afternoon. The surf house is big, it has a spacious kitchen, eating and rest area, nice space in front with hummacks. It is close to the beach but we didn't surf there. The instrutor we've got on the second day, Guillermo, was very attentive and helpful, we learned a lot.

"A fantastic six days"
We stayed at Boa Onda for six nights and had five surf sessions and five yoga sessions. It was a really great experience from start to finish. The atmosphere in the guesthouse was so relaxed and pleasant and everyone was really friendly and welcoming. The location was really superb, with a beautiful sandy beach just a few hundred metres from the front door and a number of small local restaurants and cafes close by. The surf sessions were pitched at the right level for us (beginners) with really excellent instructors who were patient and really helped us to make progress as the sessions went on. Similarly, the yoga sessions were fantastic. They were a great way to loosen out after surfing and were led by really great yoga instructors. As a complete novice to yoga, I really enjoyed this part of our visit. The healthy breakfasts each day were tasty and there was plenty available. I really don't have a bad word to say about our trip. We really hope that we'll be able to come back for another visit soon.

"Cosy and relaxed surfcamp - perfect for beginners"
We loved the atmosphere and the close proximity to the ocean with ample opportunities for good beginners surfing. The surf instructors were great - especially Lorenzo, Miguel and Riccardo, who taught us tips and tricks to stay on the boards and move around in the water. Cara was also an amazing yoga instructor - even though we were hopeless! Guests were a great mix of nationalities and ages, so getting along was effortless, and the kitchen area in the guesthouse was perfect for making your own dinner when not eating out at one of the amazing local fish restaurants.
We had a great time and might very well come back some other time.

It's a great beautiful small guest house: people are nice and kind, breakfast is excellent, it's right next to a beach. I got a room on my own as I was mostly the only person who came alone. Breakfast and yoga were really good.

"An unforgettable week in Consolação!"
I had an amazing stay at Boa Onda guesthouse and I would totally recommend this place! I’m so glad that I’ve learned how to surf from the best instructors, Ricardo, Flavio and Samuel, who did a great job and helped me during my first steps with their advice. I had so much fun during the lessons! On windy days, I would have skate sessions or ride my bike to town instead of going surfing. The yoga sessions with Joy were so great, the perfect start to the day. The staff (Eva, Julia and Joy) was so kind and helpful and really made me feel like home! Every morning they made delicious breakfast offering different options to choose from. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely visit them again!
