    Absolutely brilliant t morning spent learning to surf. The instructors were fantastic, couldn’t speak highly enough of them and they made the day what it was was. If you want to learn to surf, do it with go ride a wave, you’ll be glad you did.

  • 5Worth the price

    Fun instructors, great spot to learn. It was our first time, and despite me not being very good we had a lot of fun. I would go back without hesitation. The group size was good, I think about 8-10 people for 2 instructors, so perfect to get some help if needed. We wish it lasted a bit longer, but for a first time it was just enough to not get too tired and go on with our day. The meeting spot was a bit far from the main street and we weren't sure we were walking in the right direction, but once we were there it was very easy to find the group.
