Families absolutely rave about the instructors here, with Javier, Junior, Fabio, and Curran earning particular praise for their patience and teaching skills. What stands out most is how quickly complete beginners get up on their boards—often within the first lesson—thanks to solid beach instruction followed by hands-on guidance in the water. The instructors seem genuinely invested in making sure everyone catches waves, helping with timing, even towing tired surfers back out when needed. The location is consistently described as ideal for learning, with manageable waves and a less crowded setting. Groups stay small (around 4-5 people), which means plenty of individual attention throughout the two-hour sessions. Ages range from young kids to retirees, and the success rate is impressive across the board. One small heads-up: while a photographer captures your session, those photos come with an extra charge of around $80. That said, longtime customers keep returning year after year, which speaks volumes about the quality and consistency of the experience.
Outstanding experience! Gustavo and Fabio were amazing with my two 10 year old grandsons! They each got up on the first try and were not only riding waves but doing tricks on the board by the end of the lesson! Absolutely terrific!!
