Great Experience Learning to Surf

Cheryl_S, Sep 2024

Booked a last minute private lesson, easy to book, and communication was very good. The date we booked for didn't have private lessons anymore so we were given the option of a group booking for the same date/time or private options on other days/times. We opted for the private lesson and ended up getting a wonderful day to learn to surf. Ask for instructor, João - he was fantastic with both adults and kids. Personable, knowledgable, and patient. We'd return to have a lesson with him again! Thank you, João for making our first surfing lesson so memorable.

Great experience

This was a great experience! So much fun, and our teacher was fantastic. Would love to do it again, it was well worth the money.

Very friendly staff...
