We had private lessons with Antonella who did a great job! She was kind, helpful, and went above and beyond to take pictures and videos even though she didn’t have to.

It sounds like you had a fantastic experience with Antonella for your private lessons! Her kindness and helpfulness can make all the difference when learning something new. It’s especially thoughtful of her to go above and beyond by taking pictures and videos; those little touches can create lasting memories of your time together. Having a supportive instructor can really enhance the learning experience, and it seems like Antonella did just that. If you enjoyed your lessons, it might be worth considering more sessions in the future! Thank you for sharing your positive experience—it's always nice to hear about dedicated instructors who truly care about their students.

It sounds like you had a fantastic experience! Great instructors can make all the difference in a fun and safe learning environment, and it's wonderful to hear that Matias was very thorough and attentive to the kids while they were surfing. Providing a sense of security and support is just as important as teaching the skills themselves, and it's clear that Matias excelled in this regard. Great waves can also make all the difference in making an experience enjoyable and memorable. It's great that the conditions were favorable for surfing, allowing you to have a blast with your kids. It's also lovely to hear that you were able to relax and enjoy the experience while knowing that the kids were in good hands. A fun family activity like surfing can create lifelong memories, and it's wonderful that you got to share this experience together!

We had a semi-private class with Matias for 2 of us. We are complete beginners. The class lasted for 2 hours. First, Matias explained us the basics and showed the ways of getting on surf on the sand and answered our questions. After that we got down to practice in the ocean. Matias helped us to get a positive experience with surf in the water, to get the feel of how it is to stand on the surf without getting injured due to our absent experience. Each attempt he helped us to realize our mistakes and advised on how to work on them. Also, he clearly answered to all the relevant questions we had. Of course, one class is not enough to become a surfer. But now we better understand what stands behind the cool riding.

It sounds like you had an amazing experience with Matias! A semi-private class is a great way to learn, especially as beginners, since it allows for more personalized attention. It’s so important to start with the basics, and Matias’s thorough explanations and demonstrations on the sand must have set a solid foundation for your time in the water. Practicing in the ocean can be both exciting and intimidating for newcomers, but it’s fantastic to hear that Matias made you both feel comfortable and safe while learning. His ability to give constructive feedback and answer all your questions clearly demonstrates his dedication as an instructor. It’s true that one lesson might not turn someone into a pro surfer, but it sounds like you both gained a valuable understanding of the sport and the necessary skills to continue improving. It’s all about building that foundation, and your enthusiasm for learning is evident. When you return for another class, you’ll be that much more prepared to embrace the waves! 🌊🏄‍♀️✨ If you ever consider taking up surfing more seriously, it sounds like you're already off to a fantastic start!
