Sérgio Franco
Founder & Certified Surf Instructor in Porto
Hi, I’m Sérgio. After more than 15 years immersed in the surf world — traveling, training and chasing waves — I founded Ocean Origin Surf School in 2024 to create something different: a surf school focused on real progression and ocean awareness.
Every surf lesson is tailored to the student’s level, whether you are taking your very first wave or refining your technique. My goal is to make you feel safe in the water while building the confidence and skills you need to progress naturally.
Located just outside Porto, our beaches offer ideal conditions for beginner and intermediate surfers. Soft sand bottoms, consistent waves and controlled learning environments make it the perfect place to start your surf journey.
