Highly recommend taking surflessons here - no matter which level!!! - I highly recommend taking surf lessons with Alvaro and Saltwater Surfing! I took lessons with Alvaro and had never had such a good instructor before. Through all his tips and instructions I was able to improve a lot and felt so much more comfortable in the water. He really notices every detail and helped me so much to work on some bad habits. With his help I could progress from the whitewater to catching my own waves in the lineup, and learned a lot about how to read the waves and how to position myself. Alvaro has a very calming presence and always made me feel very safe. Overall the surf lessons were super fun and I’m very grateful for everything he taught me. You are definitely in the best possible hands!! Thank you so much for everything!

Great experience with Ávaro. - Álvaro is an excellent instructor. We had a conversation about my skill level (advanced beginner/early intermediate) and then we went to a break that was appropriate for my skill. I was able to make meaningful improvement in my surfing and left with some explicitly next steps to work on. Highly recommend.

The Perfect Surf Lessons in Santa Teresa - Best instructor in town. I took an initial class with my daughter and ended up having multiple classes throughout the week. Extremely knowledgeable, great teacher and always 100% on top of things to make sure my kids were safe which was my top priority. One of my kids is now a full fan of surfing, thanks to Alvaro!

Amazing surf instructors - Alvaro and the coaches were all amazing. Our family took surf lessons every day for a week and Alvaro and his team had all of us surfing well by the time we left. My 5 yr old son was shredding thanks to Alvaro

Book if available!! You won’t regret it. - Alvaro was the instructor at a retreat I signed up for (Shaka- highly recommend). Aside from making you feel like a familiar friend, he is extremely knowledgeable and has great coaching skills. I accomplished much more than I expected I could going in. He cared so much to help and push me to leave feeling proud. He’s extremely good at correcting and making your lessons incredibly efficient. In 6 days I went from learning pop-ups to catching a green wave. He is honest about expectations and progression but always makes you feel proud of how you’re doing. Whether you’re staying at Shaka or elsewhere, I HIGHLY recommend booking at least a few sessions with Alvaro. I have had 2 other instructors in the past and he’s far and away the best!

Best surfing experience!! - Alvaro and the coaches at Salt Water Surf Co are amazing. I came in with no experience and with his instruction and guidance helped me develop my confidence and skill with each wave, Even in large and challenging water conditions, I always felt safe and confident. So thankfully for the lessons with Salt Water Surfing Co ! I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to improve or learn their surfing, regardless of your skill level.

Best surf instructors I’ve worked with - I can’t say enough great things about Alvaro and the Saltwater Surf instructors. These guys are super technical and able to help anyone see massive improvements in their surfing abilities in a short amount of time. I always felt safe in the water despite some choppy conditions and made huge strides in my confidence and overall surfing abilities in just a few days. Can’t wait to see them again!
