Great experience, friendly and competent staff. They made us feel comfortable and although it was our first time they explained the basics focusing a lot on security, making us feel even safer

We have tried a few spots for learning to surf and this was by far the best! The waves were perfect and Bruno always chose the best time. He is an excellent teacher: we stayed for a few days and made progress in every session. The equipment is also very good and new. Thank you so much!!!
Fantastic First Surfing Experience for the Whole Family!

I had an amazing first surf lesson with my 13 year old son, 11 year old daughter and 8-year-old son. From start to finish, the experience was fun, safe, and incredibly rewarding for all of us. The instructors were outstanding — patient, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made everyone feel comfortable, regardless of age or ability, and struck the perfect balance between instruction and encouragement. It was especially heartwarming to see how well they connected with the kids, keeping things light and fun while still teaching real skills. By the end of the session, the kids were all standing up on the boards (at least a few times!) and smiling from ear to ear. It was a truly memorable family activity we’ll be talking about for a long time. Highly recommended for families looking to try something new together — we’re already looking forward to our next adventure kayaking with this company next year!

My wife, cousin, and I booked a private 3-person surf lesson with Bruno. We are beginners and he was great going through the whole process step by step. We asked what day during our week stay would be best for waves and he gave us great advice, it was perfect for us beginners. Wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable about the local area as well. I would totally recommend using them if you are here in town for a few days. We surfed just to the east of the fishing huts. The photo is representative of the wave conditions when we were there.
Awesome surfing school
