1st time surfing - Great experience. Both Che and Jason were very helpful and continually offered tips and advice. Neither my wife (57) nor I (53) had ever surfed before and they had us up and going in no time. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Great Success with Che's! - We signed our three 14 yr old granddaughters up for lessons. None had ever surfed before, in fact, this was their first experience in saltwater and waves! I asked them to review their experience for me and they said "the guides were helpful, kind, attentive, and funny. They gave us new pointers each time we returned from a run." The bottom line is all three were very successful in learning the proper technique to surf and rocked it. Che's guides made that happen. I would use them again and would confidently recommend them to anyone else looking for surf lessons.

Seriously a must do! Absolutely loved this experience!!! - Che, Jessica, and Jason were all amazing! They communicated with us from the start. They picked us up from our hotel. They set everything up. Che gave us a short tutorial on body mechanics but didn’t have us practice too long as not to overthink the movements. We got on the water and my wife was able to stand up and ride a wave on the first try. My 9 year old and 14 year old only took a few waves before being able to ride waves consistently. This was all our first time surfing. Jason and Che gave lots of encouragement and gentle corrections on how to improve our form. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any pictures because we all were in the water the whole time. We loved the experience and I would absolutely recommend Che and his crew. The family can’t wait to surf again all thanks to them!

Surf lesson in a small group - Booked a 2-hr group lesson at Che's surf school at Drill Hall beach. Great lesson for beginners or those looking to improve their beginner skills. Nice gentle surf with lots of opportunity for catching waves with help from Che & Jason.

Surfs up - Absolutely great time had by me and my partner. It was our first time and both a little nervous however the guys made us all feel real comfortable from the first moment and I even managed to ride a few waves. I’d definitely go back again!

Don’t miss a surf experience with Che while in Barbados - I can’t recommend Che and his team enough I recently took a group lesson at Che’s Surf School, and as someone who was pretty nervous about surfing, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Che and his team were super relaxed and friendly, which helped calm my nerves right away. They gave clear, easy-to-follow instructions and were really encouraging throughout the lesson. Before I knew it, I was up on the board, actually riding waves! The whole setup was really well-organized, and the equipment was great—no stress, just a fun and supportive environment. There was also great communication before hand. Che has a way of making you feel comfortable, no matter your skill level, and that made a huge difference for me. If you're looking to learn to surf in a chill, confidence-boosting setting, I’d definitely recommend giving Che’s Surf School a go!

What a fun experience... - What a fun experience this was. We were in a small group of four. Che made us feel comfortable and got us to confidently stand in the board by the end of the lesson. Highly recommend this experience!

Amazing surfing lesson in small group - Che picked us up and we drove to Pebbles beach. It was a small group of 4 and Che avoided crowded beaches, so it was perfect for us. He managed to get us standing on the board by the end of the lesson, which is not an easy task. Highly recommend!

Catching Waves with Che - Surf with Che! I learned so much from him and Peter. My timing and foot work improved while I had a blast surfing in Barbados. I did the shipwreck snorkeling adventure and recommend that you do both! Surf and snorkel with Che! When I return next year I’ll repeat on both 🌊 🏄‍♂️
