Marcello is great. I took one lesson with a different surf coach in Fort Lauderdale before finding Marcello...I'm glad I found Marcello. With his help, I went from a total beginner to beginner-intermediate very quickly. And most importantly, he helped improve my confidence, something that I think can make or break someone's ability and willingness to continue to surf.
Marcello is punctual, professional, he takes a credit card if need-be (but I prefer to pay him cash), he picks the right surf breaks depending on your skill level, and he's just a nice guy.
Sometimes I text Marcello for a local surf report. Other times, even when I'm not taking a lesson, if he sees me at a local surf break, he affirms the things I'm doing correctly, while pointing out things I could improve on with valuable advice.
Surfing is about much more than catching a wave: it's about choosing the right board to ride for your skill level and type of wave you're surfing; navigating yourself on a board in the water (even when paddling out); establishing your position in the lineup; knowing how tides affect the surf breaks; taking care of your surfboard; and ways to improve your surfing when you are not in the water (exercises etc.). Marcello will guide you through all of this. As someone who has lived at, and surfed, the most famous surf breaks in the world in Hawaii, Marcello is a skilled and experienced instructor.
