We have a large group with 8 in our family that wanted to surf, ranging from age 6 to age 43. None of us had surfed before other than wake surfing. Pura Vida provided 3 instructors for our 2 hour group lesson. It started with about 15 minutes of instruction on the beach. Then we went into the water. The best water was at 10 AM before the wind started. We loved every minute of it! The instructors continued to give pointers and helped everyone find waves right away. Then as we improved, the instructors were there to continue to help us catch waves as needed. Everyone got up on there feet within the first 20 minutes on the water. We had Frankie, Carrie, and one other instructor that were all great. Frankie even spent extra time with our six year old in the very shallow water so he could still experience it. We also got to continue to use the surf boards after our lesson, since there wasn't a group right after us.
I highly recommend Pura Vida for a surfing experience to remember.
