Sergio is the BEST instructor. We learned more in a morning with him than I did when I took lessons for a week years ago. He is patient, funny, friendly and speaks English very fluently. He made sure we had a great time from start to finish. He customizes his advice based on your skill level and is very encouraging. He also knows the beach very well and took time to teach us how to come back and surf on our own later. 10 out of 10 cannot recommend him enough.

This surfing lesson was perfect. We had (2) 15 y/o, 41 y/o with no surfing experience. We had the perfect amount of coaching before getting in the water. Detailed instructions on how to stand up where to locate our feet on the board, so helpful! I appreciated the patience with all family members. Additional coaching helped in the water. Great first surfing experience, would definitely recommend booking.
