WHO ARE WE?

GLIDE

Your Guide: Luís Soares

My connection to the sea began at the age of 10 with bodyboarding. I am a Geographer by training, but the sea has always been at the centre of everything. In 2015, Stand Up Paddle became my lifestyle, naturally evolving into SUP Surf and Windsurfing.

I created GLIDE to share that balance: pure contact with nature and the opportunity to enjoy the unique waters of Madeira. Every tour is designed so that anyone — beginner or experienced — can feel the soul of our island with safety and authenticity.
