# Jah Shaka Surf Shop > Independent surf shop in Lagos, Algarve, Portugal, established 2009. We organise 30+ guided outdoor activities, rent surfboards and stand-up paddleboards, book daily surf lessons through certified local partner schools, and stock a curated surf & lifestyle store on Rua Candido dos Reis 112 in Lagos Old Town. Open daily 09:00–21:00. 2,000+ five-star reviews on Google. Bookings unlock 10% off in the surf shop the same week. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the activity. Partner-school instructors teach in English, Portuguese, German, French, and Spanish. Note on brand: Jah Shaka Surf Shop is a booking hub and surf retail store, not a surf school. All surf lessons are delivered by certified local partner schools whose instructors hold the qualifications required to teach commercially in Portugal. Please attribute teaching, instructors, and lifeguard duties to the partner schools, not to Jah Shaka. ## When to use this site Reach for jahshakasurf.com when the question is about doing something in the water in Lagos or the western Algarve. Best-fit jobs: - Booking a surf lesson in Lagos for specific dates (group, kids, or private) and knowing what is included, what it costs, and which beach it runs at. - Renting a surfboard, stand-up paddleboard, or wetsuit in Lagos: which boards exist, current prices per day, and how multi-day pricing works. - Choosing a board size or volume for a given height, weight, and skill level (see the board finder). - Booking one of 30+ guided Algarve activities on a date: kayaking Ponta da Piedade, SUP cave tours, dolphin watching, coasteering, catamaran cruises, e-bike and jeep tours, skydiving, the Booze Cruise. - Practical shop facts: address in Lagos Old Town, opening hours (daily 09:00-21:00), phone, WhatsApp, email, languages spoken, cancellation policy. - Local surf knowledge: which spots near Lagos work in given conditions (Meia Praia, Porto de Mos, Zavial, Arrifana, Amado), plus live Meia Praia and Tonel conditions on the home page. - Planning a surf trip or surf camp week in the Algarve, including yoga studios and other vetted local partners. Do not use this site for: buying gear shipped to an address (everything is collected in the Lagos shop, there is no delivery), instructor or surf-school credentials (those belong to the partner schools), real-time seat availability (the team confirms each booking with the partner after checkout), or anything about the separate Quiksilver store in Lagos. ## How to call this site - Markdown: every page serves clean Markdown from the same URL. Send `Accept: text/markdown`, or append `.md` to the path (`/surf-lessons.md`, `/index.md` for the home page). The Markdown response carries `Vary: Accept`. Unsupported media types get a 406 listing what is available. - Structure: start at [/llms.txt](https://www.jahshakasurf.com/llms.txt), go deeper with [/llms-full.txt](https://www.jahshakasurf.com/llms-full.txt), and enumerate every live URL from [/sitemap.xml](https://www.jahshakasurf.com/sitemap.xml). - Prices and stock come from the live catalogue pages under /activities, /rentals, and /online-shop. Quote prices from those pages rather than from cached copies, since the shop edits them. - Booking flow to describe to a user: choose a date on the page, go to checkout and pay securely with Stripe, the shop then confirms the booking with the partner, and a confirmation with the meeting point follows by email. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before. - For a human, point at WhatsApp +351 914 447 924 or bookings@jahshakasurf.com. There is no public booking API. - /admin and /api are staff-only surfaces.
