My wife and I had a great lesson with our instructor Nico and were both up on the boards by the end. It seems like a lot of people at first, but they split you up amongst a bunch of instruuctors. Our group only had four people. As some other reviewers have said, the beach is very crowded but I don't think there's much the surf school can do about that. According to our instructor there's two local shops and four more operators that run lessons out of the parking lot here because of the shallow depths. Our 10 am time was really busy but also nice that it warmed up a bit more. They also have a photography company thay will take photos and give you the option to purchase at the end.
