“We loved our experience! We are first timers :) A couple of thoughts… Be prepared to carry your surfboard a mile down the boardwalk, just in case, because you go where the waves are. Also keep in mind that the waves are seasonal dependent and you may end up with very small waves but the instructors still work with it. We loved learning with Felipe and Marco- they are very patient and encouraging- and we had so much fun rocking our 6 inch waves! Highly recommend you bring someone else to take pictures and videos!”
