I would rate this as a 10+ experience. They accommodated bringing my daughter along who didn't want to surf, but still gave her a good experience on the beach. They were knowledgeable and ensured we had success. We had a private lesson and went to a private beach-which was totally unexpected, but loved!!! When the first beach we went to wasn't quite right, they adjusted and got us to another location that was perfect for us. They gave us more time to make up for the extra travel time.

We'd give 15s to this one! The guides were beyond awesome, and they way they set up the teaching for the surfing was a 15/10. This experience was a once in a lifetime!
