A wonderful surf session!! Fernando is a great instructor. Two hours was more than enough time to learn and enjoy the waves. Fernando helps you every step of the way and his experience really reflects. Definitely recommend!!

Wilson was amazing, patient and easy to work with, my daughter never surfed before, however with Wilson by her side she was able to catch a good amount of waves! It was amazing. He made it so easy to understand she said she would love to do it again in the future all because of Wilson! Thank you so much, you have created a new surfer Girl!
