Magical beginner surfing session in the sunset - We had an amazing experience surfing at Playa Hermosa with our instructor Richard. He adapted it after our experience as beginners who have tried surfing before, and did a summary/check of the basics on the beach. He then helped us pick good waves that made it easy for us to stand up most of the time and have a great time. He gave good tips and guidance, helping us learn and get better during the session. And importantly, Richard made us feel relaxed and safe the whole time. Playa Hermosa truly lives up to its name, it was incredibly beautiful with the palm trees climbing down to the beach. We surfed from 4 pm and got a magical sunset at the end. I couldn’t recommend this enough!
