“The best school to learn and rent surf material - What an amazing experience! We schedule some lessons with them at their website — easy and fast to book btw! 2 days after we were there already with everything prepared and ON time! The instructors were very well prepared to deal with a large group — we were about 10 fellows! The class went very well, pretty much all of us could stand up for the first time! #Hurray!! We decided to return a few days later to rent some surfboards and again, seamless experience! I would definitely recommend Duckdive! Keep it going guys!!”
