It was a lot of fun. 2 thumbs up from my teenagers and husband! Pedro helped us get a parking spot and made recommendations of where to buy snacks. Surfing guides were patient and kind. Logan, a photographer from CA (not affiliated with Viator) took pictures and airdropped them all for a small sum- way better than the pictures I took.

We did surf lessons as a family. My 6 year old daughter was nervous at first but with their patience, kindness, and fun attitudes she got the hang of it. Such a fun experience and the instructors are wonderful people.

My surf experience was so much fun. All my kids talked about is surfing. I would definitely recommend this if you are in the area!

We booked this lesson last minute and there was no problem. We received a warm welcome and my son (12) and I were soon practicing on the beach and getting in the water! The instructor held the back of the board for the first part, which helped ensure we were up as much as possible. Really nice folks running this. I’m extremely prone to motion sickness and had to pause partway through the lesson because the waves made me woozy- the owner was super understanding which I appreciated! Anna took photos and offered them after. They were pricey but really beautiful and I’m glad we bought them. A tip- the area here is rife with scammers dressed officially and trying to direct your car to the side for parking (they charge). We weren’t prepared for this and paid to park but later I realized if we just said no and drove down towards the beach you could probably park for free. We were later warned not to leave valuables or baggage in your car. Luckily nothing happened to ours. There are a lot of surf lesson places on the beach- meet at the appointed place and you’ll be in for a treat with this group! Great with kids too.

My instructor, Luis, was very knowledgable and patient with me. This was my first time surfing and his instruction and guidance were so helpful that I was able to stand on the board several times. I highly recommend anyone take this class as the instruction was specific and allowed me to quickly advance.

Great surf school with the owner Pablo who is very nice. I took a class with Francisco who was an excellent teacher. He listened, gave me clear explanations and instructions and allowed me to really have fun and progress! I recommend it! THANKS !

I room two lessons for one hour during one day and already kind of learnt how to surf. After so short with tips from instructor i was able to stand up on the normal quite shaky board. The waves are perfect for beginners and intermediate in the morning and stronger in the evening, because of the tides. Amazing experience I recommend for everyone🏄🏄🏄.

Really nice experience and good price for the experience he has. Really authentic person and he wants to create a real connection with the clients he doesn’t only see the money like others would do. Recommend this place. We can also rent surfs for 1H-3H or a full day!
