Teen surf lessons - Excellent surf lessons for our teen sons.. they had 3 lessons with Jonathan.. he took them from being beginners to standing up in no time.. by day 3 they had progressed on to shorter boards and catching lots of waves.. Jonathan was friendly, fun and an excellent teacher. Andric who runs the surf school was also very friendly and let me sit on their sun loungers to watch the lessons.. and looked after our stuff so I could swim in the ocean and take photos! Boys were given a coconut to drink at the end of each lesson. Totally recommend this company.. thank you Blue Wave surf!

Great experience with a family of four - These guys were awesome. Went with a family of four and everyone was able to get up and surf within the first 30 minutes. We had a six-year-old, a nine-year-old plus mom and dad. They were great with the kids, and very patient with the whole group. Highly recommend!

We succeeded on the second attempt - Awesome introduction to surfing for us two beginners. The time (1.5h) was more than enough for me and my son when the lactic acid bites into the arms of all paddling. Now all you need is more time and practice on your own.

I booked this for my 20... - I booked this for my 20 year old daughter and she had a great time. She has surfed 5-6 times over the years so not too experienced but the waves were just right. She loved the lesson being 1-2-1 and the water being so warm so that no wetsuit was needed. The surfing people were really friendly and offered me a lounger to sit and watch and I could leave the bags safely with them and go and take videos and photos of her. They very kindly gave both of us a coconut too. Highly recommended.

My 11 yr old son and I... - My 11 yr old son and I had a lesson with Jonathan. Jonathan is a great instructor. We got off to a slow start, but Jonathan was patient with us and we eventually caught a bunch of waves. My son appreciated the coach tips that Jonathan gave to him to help him stay up on his board. I was finally able to catch a decent wave on my own with assistance! We got some cold freshing fruit drinks after our lesson which was a great end to our lesson!! Would highly recommend Jonathan. My son and I learned a lot from Jonathan.

Super friendly and a great first lesson - 5 star outfit. Personal attention and great instruction. Have tried surfing a few times before but Johnny was the first to help me catch my first waves. Took the lesson with my daughter and she had success too. They are located right on the beach which was also nice. Thanks!

Amazing! I recommend! - It was absolutely amazing! I never thought I would be able to surf but Andre and Pablo were great. They explained everything clearly, made sure I understood what to do and Pablo and I went to the water. I was able to ride the wave during my first class! What a rush! I ended up having three lessons with Pablo - the last one was the best! Sunset and catamarans behind me and I was riding the waves to the shore❤️🤙 Amazing!
