Dan was a great surf guide. I had a fun time out there for my first time!
I had fun trying surfing for the first time however one other participant was able to add to the experience to buy videos taken from the instructor I asked the instructor the same and he agreed telling me to get in touch to purchase the media after I have been emailing and trying to contact them over tripadvisor and their own website but nobody is responding to any of my messages so my review reflects my costumer care experience rather than the experience itself for which i give 5stars to peter
Hi Patrizia, thank you for the kind words about your lesson with Peter - we're glad you had a great time! We did respond to your message the very next morning with the link to purchase your GoPro footage. It's possible the notification was missed. We'd love to get this sorted for you - please check your Viator inbox or feel free to reach out to us directly. We hope to see you again!
It was great for my 12 year old granddaughter She was just learning to surf so a beginner There was very good instruction
Easy meet up. On time. Clear instructions. Wetsuit fit fine and kept me warm. Great waves 👋... would definitely recommend for the price.
Keanu was an excellent guide!!!! We’ve NEVER surfed at all before (we are 48 & 50) and he helped us both catch the waves in the right time!! Thanks, Keanu, for giving us such a fun memory! Tip: bring a towel, wear your swimsuit under your clothes, you put wetsuit on in the parking lot.
Thank you for the wonderful review! 🌊 We’re so glad to hear that Keanu made your first surfing experience such a fun and memorable one. It’s awesome that you both caught some waves! We appreciate the helpful tip for future guests too. Hope to see you back for more surfing adventures soon! 🏄♂️✨
This was so much fun!! I went with my friend and it was a little chilly that day so we ended up being the only guests and basically got a private lesson. Despite the weather, it was awesome. They provide wetsuits so we managed to stay warm, and Thiem was a great instructor - very cool guy and super helpful. This was my first time surfing and my friend's second time and we were both able to get up on the boards (my friend was better than me but I digress.) I would definitely recommend this experience if you're new or somewhat new to surfing!
It sounds like you had a fantastic time, even with the chilly weather! Having a private lesson is always a great way to get personalized attention, and it’s awesome that you both were able to catch some waves. Thiem sounds like a great instructor who made the experience even more enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your positive review—I'm sure it’ll help others who are new to surfing! If you ever want to hit the waves again, don’t hesitate to book another session.
Great experience. When you stand for the first time, you are gonna remember that forever. I totally recommend that
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear that your first time standing up on the board was unforgettable. It’s moments like that that make surfing so special! We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to have you back for more awesome rides in the future!
Pretty cool first try at surfing. Unfortunately my original group had to be cancelled but they offered me an alternative group in Torrance. The surfing conditions were unfortunately not the best that day but our surf instructor made the best of the situation and it was nevertheless a great and especially fun experience.
It’s great to hear that the experience was still enjoyable, even with the less-than-ideal conditions. A good instructor can really make all the difference in turning any situation into a fun and memorable one. Hopefully, next time you’ll have perfect surf conditions!
Super great lesson!! The instructor was amazing, patiente, attentive and provides advises. We recommend ! Thanks Alvador for this precious moment. See you next time
It sounds like you had a fantastic lesson with Alvador! It's always wonderful when an instructor is patient, attentive, and offers helpful advice. I'm sure your next session will be just as great. Thanks for sharing your experience!
