      Keanu was an excellent guide!!!! We’ve NEVER surfed at all before (we are 48 & 50) and he helped us both catch the waves in the right time!! Thanks, Keanu, for giving us such a fun memory! Tip: bring a towel, wear your swimsuit under your clothes, you put wetsuit on in the parking lot.

      Thank you for the wonderful review! 🌊 We’re so glad to hear that Keanu made your first surfing experience such a fun and memorable one. It’s awesome that you both caught some waves! We appreciate the helpful tip for future guests too. Hope to see you back for more surfing adventures soon! 🏄‍♂️✨

      Awesome experience!

      This was so much fun!! I went with my friend and it was a little chilly that day so we ended up being the only guests and basically got a private lesson. Despite the weather, it was awesome. They provide wetsuits so we managed to stay warm, and Thiem was a great instructor - very cool guy and super helpful. This was my first time surfing and my friend's second time and we were both able to get up on the boards (my friend was better than me but I digress.) I would definitely recommend this experience if you're new or somewhat new to surfing!

      It sounds like you had a fantastic time, even with the chilly weather! Having a private lesson is always a great way to get personalized attention, and it’s awesome that you both were able to catch some waves. Thiem sounds like a great instructor who made the experience even more enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your positive review—I'm sure it’ll help others who are new to surfing! If you ever want to hit the waves again, don’t hesitate to book another session.

      Great experience

      Great experience. When you stand for the first time, you are gonna remember that forever. I totally recommend that

      Response from Host, Jan 2025

      Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear that your first time standing up on the board was unforgettable. It’s moments like that that make surfing so special! We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to have you back for more awesome rides in the future!
