Ashley_S, Mar 2025

The instructor gave the best surfing lesson i’ve ever had. He cares about the quality and the technique of the surfing. Not to many frills to this experience but loads of lessons learned and confidence coming out of the lesson.

A GREAT first feel of what it is to surf as one with the waves

Lukas_K, Feb 2025

Bobo is a great dude who has extensive expierence and teaches you the basics the right way 🤙🏼 Thanks to his guidance we were able to catch our first waves in no time and take full advantage of the time in the water 👌🏼

We caught waves! Highly recommend

Alexis_S, Dec 2023

Huge appreciation to Bobo and the instructors for a watershed day learning to surf! They were able to teach us beginners; to our wonderful surprise, my husband and I were catching waves within an hour of practice- it was so fun that we came back again to get even better

Great surfing with Bobo

Eric_W, May 2021

Bobo’s surf instruction is top notch. He focuses on technique and fundamentals of surfing to enhance progression. He helped me with paddling, footwork, turning and arm placement.
