Good Times! - We had a fun afternoon of surfing! I had never surfed before and was a little nervous as I am older. Sebastian was a great instructor. Our group was small enough to give each of us individual attention. Safety rules were stressed and our group had a great time. I would highly recommend this activity for anyone.

Disappointing surfing experience - Our experience was very disappointing. We had taken surf lessons in Hawaii and loved it, so we were excited to do it again—but this time was a huge letdown. The lesson was poorly organized and unsafe. The instructors had us catch the last wave, which brought us too close to the shore. Many of us fell onto the sand before we had time to stand up. I injured myself doing this and had to stop immediately. On top of that, it was far too crowded to surf safely, especially for beginners. There were too many people, including young children, and it just didn’t feel like a safe or structured environment. While the instructors were friendly, none of them actually got on a board to demonstrate or help properly. One instructor seemed to notice how unhappy we were and offered us a discount or another activity instead. But when we returned to the shop, she told us that her manager said it wasn’t their fault—it was due to “weather conditions.” That didn’t make sense, as the weather was actually great. We ended up wasting two hours doing nothing but paddling (without even paddles), and it felt like a complete waste of time and money. We were genuinely excited to continue exploring something we had fallen in love with in Hawaii, but this experience left us completely disappointed. After reading other reviews, it seems we’re not the only ones who felt misled. Honestly, it felt like a scam. .
