Jah Shaka Surf Shop

Jah Shaka is a surf shop on Rua Cândido dos Reis in Lagos old town. It rents surfboards and stand-up paddleboards and books surf lessons, which are taught by licensed coaches from partner surf schools, with a van transfer from the shop to Meia Praia or a west-coast beach depending on the day. Good for beginners who want to book in town, and for anyone who just needs a board for the day.
