Amazing instructor!

Rebecca_S, Apr 2026
Our sons LOVED their experience. Instructor was brilliant with them, they caught so many waves and he kept them safe. They cannot wait to go back! Great way to support a local business and enjoy a fantastic, uncrowded, surf break. We uber’d from our hotel in Los Cabos in 25 minutes. Super easy to find, very friendly people.

Good experience

Rocco was great with my 13 and 15 yo daughters! Waves were not intimidating at this beach on the day we were there.

Funky, fun, and the best

Excellent! Great patience and instruction, good equipment and a nice beach and set of waves. Definitely do it again! And, it is old school funky in the area-just what I needed after seeing all the slick parts of Cabo!

Highly recommend!

David was an excellent instructor for my teen daughter and I to learn how to surf. His english was excellent. Instructions were easy and thourough. He noticed I had barb from a sea urchin stuck in my foot while I was laying on the board and removed it at the end of the lesson.

100% recomendable!!
