My family of 4 had never surfed before and thought it would be fun to try. Hugo, our instructor, was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. He did a great job coaching all of us, but especially my kids (8 and 10). We all got up within the first couple tries and continued to do so throughout the lesson. We all felt much more comfortable having the instruction to ourselves rather than be in a large group like other companies offer. I highly recommend booking your lesson through 808!
