“Surfing to me is as natural as breathing. When you surf, you are living the moment, you are right here right now. I’ve been surfing for almost 3 decades and the ocean is my playground.” Hugo is one of the founders of Good Feeling Surf School. He’s been surfing since he was a young teenager and it’s been an ongoing love story ever since! He goes out every day and every wave is a great one to surf. He truly believes that the best surfer is the one having the most fun and enjoying the surf.  “As a teacher, nothing beats the feeling to see your student stand up on the board for the first time and having the time of their life. I’m lucky to be able to do what I love most, every day of my life.” A random fact about Hugo: he can sleep literally anywhere! Even standing in a train!

“I love feeling all of nature’s energy around me when I’m out in the middle of the ocean. Nothing beats that feeling of catching a perfect wave! I remember the thrill of surfing my first big wave like yesterday!”. Miguel has been surfing for the past 30 years and has been in many in competitions. In one of them, 20 years ago, he met Hugo as they were competing in the same heat and since then they started traveling to competitions together and became like brothers! “Born and raised in Gaia I grew up in a surfer community, so surfing came naturally to me. As teacher, seeing my students improve day by day until they actually surf small green waves or witness my athletes winning competitions and titles, there is nothing more rewarding!” And at the end of hard day’s surf, he likes to crack open a bottle of cool beer!
