Surf Zicatela - Great way to learn gentle waves with a local surfer who is patient. Oni trained us on the basics at the shop then we learned how to ride with his wave reading skills.

Super super highly recommend - great experience for beginner or experienced - Amazing experience. It was my first time ever surfing and Kotani was a fantastic teacher. Really fun guy to hang out with, and he knew exactly how to give me the pointers I needed. Such a great experience I booked again Ari was super helpful to communicate with, and he went totally above and beyond to help me out separately from the surf classes. Great experience and I'd definitely like to come back for more

So much fun that my kiddo wanted another hour! - Once we were confirmed for the lesson, the Silva Surf School was in constant contact with us. They gave clear instructions on where to meet up. Our time with Krotani was invaluable! Great lesson for mother and daughter!

LOVED this surf school - fun, encouraging, and learned alot from highly experienced and cool instructors - Taking a surf lesson is almost a must-do when in PE. I've always wanted to and decided this was the time/place to do it. And after some research, I could not have picked a better team/school than Silva's to go out with. I really enjoyed Silva's Surf School and HIGHLY recommend it. I loved the experience he provided so much that as soon as we were done, I immediately signed up for the next day. Silva and his team are very cool, friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced, which made the day super fun and productive. As a total beginner, Silva was so patient and helpful, constantly giving me feedback, tips, and encouragement, helping me catch the first waves of my life! I had the same experience the next day with his other instructor who also did a great job of slowly stepping up the teachings from basic standing, form, and balance to starting to learn how to read and catch the wave myself as I improved. They both have tons of experience surfing and teaching and saw them working working with higher-level experienced surfers as well, so from your first time being on a board to an experienced surfer, you will learn and enjoy this. They are also just cool people to get to know and chat with! If you're looking for a surf school in PE, do yourself a favor and book with Silva Surf School!!

Great surf experience! - Amazing surf experience! The instructors were super knowledgeable, and kind. They took the time to explain ocean conditions, positioning, and technique in a way that was easy to understand. The lesson felt very personal, with great feedback and encouragement throughout. La Punta itself is a perfect spot to learn, and catching waves there was unforgettable. Such a beautiful place. I walked away smiling, tired, and excited to try again. Highly recommend!
