“Terrible experience. We arrived, were given our wetsuits and and boards of a size that we were barely able to handle (and I’m a big guy) and then had to find our way to the meeting point at the beach by ourselves. There the people were already starting warmup without us. When I went to grab my water (which I told the instructor) the safety instructions were given without me.

“Our personal surfing guide Chico made this experience a 10 star excursion! He was communicative from the moment we booked, watched the weather and tides and ensured our experience was safe and memorable. Pedro who checked us in was super helpful and kind. Not only did we get surf lessons they both helped with fishing advice, places to sight see and eat. Chico had a great, fun, welcoming personality! We can’t wait to come back to surf with him again.”
