Amazing Opportunity

Michelle_B, Dec 2025

This was an awesome experience for my son who is 11! The instructor was great and helped him get up within the first 10 minutes. I got some great photos and my son keeps talking about wanting another lesson.

Worth to try

FANGYAN_T, Dec 2024

I stood on the surfing board after tried 15 minutes later, very excited. But my boyfriend not. It’s good for beginners or people who speaks Spanish. If you want to learn more , my trainer doesn’t speak much English

Surfing

Jonas_B, Mar 2026

The teaching was good and competent. Great that we were only two participants on the team. However, I was only out on the water for an hour and not the 1.5 hours, as stated. However, I did not learn to surf if the criterion is that I should be able to go out on my own and do it. But fun experience despite a bloody nose 😉
