About Us
Passion for Madeira's sea, respect for nature and commitment to your safety on every paddle stroke.
Your Guide: Luís Soares
My connection to the sea began at the age of 10 with bodyboarding. Although I studied Geography and Territory Management, my passion for the sea led me down this path. In 2015, Stand Up Paddle became my lifestyle, opening doors to other water sports. I created GLIDE to share this balance: pure contact with nature and the opportunity to enjoy Madeira's unique waters. Each tour is crafted so that anyone — beginner or experienced — can experience the soul of our island with safety and authenticity.
