We were absolut beginners and came for a private lesson (the two of us). After some "dry" information we went into the water and pretty soon saw the success of having a teacher. The guys and girls are all friendly and helpful. Our Teacher Javier was very experienced and professional. He gave us a lot of good advice how to read the waves and how to handle the board. They also have lockers, shower and a bathroom. Also, after the lesson you can use the board for another 2 hours in a couple of days or even split the hours. We had an awesome time here, will come again!
We had a wonderful surf lesson with Javier. He was patient, clear in his instructions, and very encouraging throughout the session. As beginners (one adult and one teenager), we felt safe and supported the whole time. Thanks to him, we both managed to stand up on the board! A fantastic experience – we would definitely surf with him again.
Daniel was a fantastic teacher. My girlfriend and I caught waves on our first try thanks to his experienced eye for the correct waves to catch. He taught us all of the fundamentals and corrected our form respectfully throughout the experience. I can confidently surf after one lesson. Just need to develop my own eye for surf. Great experience!
