Wonderful experience - We had such a great time. The instructors are wonderful. They were super great once we hit the water and helped you find just the right wave. They were really great with my younger kids, who had so much fun learning to surf . I would totally do it again.

Super professional instructor (Jorge) - I had a class with Jorge, and cannot recommend him enough. He was very attentive, engaged, he articulated everything very clearly, made sure I was safe on water. As someone not too good with balance, and with drowning experience in choppy water - I’ve managed to be comfortable and to ride every single wave I took at a first go.

Wonderful learning experience! - Hector was an awesome guide. He was very patient and provided great feedback. My boyfriend and I were both able to stand which was our only goal for the first time surfing. Another guide surfed next to us to gopro record us. We ended up not paying extra for this feature but it is available. Overall, a great, fun, and safe activity. Wetsuits were also provided!

Amazing Experience - I had an awesome time surfing today! Oscar was an incredible teacher and very knowledgeable. I assumed it would be a group thing but since I was the only one booked in, I got a 1:1 lesson. Amazing experience :)

Best instructor ever! - My 1 hour surf lesson exceeded expectations. I was a first time surfer and I knew that trying to get up to standing was going to be an incredible challenge for my 50 year old body. Hector proved to be the perfect teacher for me. His instruction and encouragement made it possible for me to successfully stand and ride a wave in on my last two tries. Would highly recommend for anyone!

Wonderful class - My 13 year old son took the beginners class and loved it! Right from the start, he was able to stand on the board! The teachers are excellent and very attentive! It's a really cool way to get to know Lima from another angle! I highly recommend it!!!

Bad customer service - Horrible customer service. On arrival, the manager didn’t event greet me with his name and simply demanded to see my proof of payment. Moreover, there was no indication given on what to do next, as he simply laid down and talked to his friends. He could see I had a backpack, but offered no place to put it. The employees certainly took interest in talking to the female customers who were in the same group class, but definitely not me. The teacher was a cool young person, nothing bad to say about him. The but vibe to begin with was terrible and made me uncomfortable with the rest of the experience. There are plenty of other surf schools. You don’t need to reserve anything beforehand. Simply find a place with a friendly instructor and go with that on the fly.
