playa Santana Surf lessons

  Russell provided an excellent surfing lesson. He gave great advice about balancing and avoiding injury. He made sure to pay attention to our comfort level which was helpful because the... read more waves were strong. 10/10 recommend.

  My wife and I surfed for the first time with Angelo and Alex. We both had a ton of fun and would definitely recommend it!

  Took surfing lessons with my 2 sons for my birthday. We had a great time. My kids did very well. Me, well, not so great. Our instructor was Caleb.... read more What a great guy. He was very patient and knowledgeable. He did a great job telling you what you were doing wrong and how to adjust. Great experience!

  Deceptive advertising and poor communication/web site - First, parking is VERY difficult to find so be prepared for that. Second, we were given directions to go to the shop. However, when we got to the... read more shop they were closed and there was a sign on the door to go to the beach across the street where they had a canopy set up. Could have given us those directions in the beginning. Website advertises 90 minute lessons. HOWEVER, that 90 minutes includes the time to change into the wet suit and get ready for the lesson. Even at that we were about 10 minutes late starting. but they counted the lesson as starting on time. Then ended lesson 15 minutes early so could return the surf board and change out of the wet suit. Total lesson less than an hour. Also, had rented boards for an additional hour. BUT, unknown to us (no information on web site) had to switch to a different wet suit and had to walk a block over from the beach, get the surf board, and walk back. Like a dummy I assumed the board that we were renting would be one that we used for the lessons. I don't know that any of the other schools are any different. Just want people to know and understand you may be paying for 90 minutes but you get an actual hour or less OF LESSON. Did not use the rental and did NOT get a refund ($15 for an hour per board).
