Amazing experience - Me and my friend had our first surf lesson with these guys on Friday. The instructors were so encouraging, fun and professional- had an absolute blast and even got to surf some green waves!

Unforgettable memory - This surfing lesson was amazing, except that it lasted for less than 3 hours only (it was shown as 4 hours in Viator). Thanks so much to my excellent instructor Kai, who gave very clear teachings and took good care of us as beginners. It is important to remember the movement from lying to standing on the surfboard and the posture to keep our balance when we stand up. Overall, I can’t believe how fun surfing is and I could stand up on the surfboard and ride my first wave!!😆

Good vibes 🤙🏼 - Excellent intro course! Small group and received personalized feedback from coaches on how to improve technique throughout. 10/10 recommend and would return for a multi-day session if we had more time. 🏄‍♂️

100% recommend - Simon couldn’t have been a better instructor. Never surfed before and by the end was standing up and doing everything myself. Really good experience and definitely recommend

Highly recommended! - I had so much fun! Matt gave us a very good introduction. Then it was on water. I am an absolute beginner but was on the board after a few attempts! I can only recommend it.

Great surf lesson - I had such a fun surf lesson and I’d totally recommend this surf school! The vibe was super relaxed and friendly, and even as a beginner I felt really comfortable. A special thanks to Simon our instructor, he was awesome! He helped everyone, was super enthusiastic, and gave individual tips to help us improve. His enthusiasm and encouragement made the lesson so much fun.
