Amazing surf experience - It has been many years since I surfed a couple of times. Darshan took me to a very nice spot where I could directly ride easy green waves. He is a great guy and an incredible teacher! Because of my awesome experience my afraid of waves girlfriend tried surfing for the first time and loved it. Due to Darshans calm and supporting teaching she was able to feel confident in the water. 100% recommended and would always do it again.

Wonderful Surf Lesson - First time surfer here, I learned a ton with Darshan, from the basics to actually getting out in the water. I had a great time, and felt completely taken care of and safe throughout (even though I am usually trepidatious of sports that involve water and swimming -- especially as a contact lens-wearer). Definitely would love to surf with Darshan again. Great teacher!!!!

Eye opening experience!! - My girlfriend and I arrived to the Carribean coast as beginners and under Darshan’s guidance fell in love with the sport. Darshan has an amazing ability to instill confidence, teach you how to read the waves, understand rip tides and help you jump multiple surf levels. We had 6 lessons and can’t wait until our next getaway. I can't recommend highly enough. We’ll miss Darshan, Camila and Pepper! Pura Vida

1st time surfing - Very good surf instructor with a lot of knowledge and experience. It was my first time surfing and always felt in good hands. Also apart from surfing a really nice experience with talks and a tasty snack at a local soda. Thanks!

Surfing Confidence Booster - Darshan’s first piece of advise was to have fun and enjoy the experience. I’m not comfortable in the open water and he made sure I was in order to build confidence. If you get discouraged he’s there to lift you up and when you’re finally up and surfing he’s there to celebrate with you. I’d recommend this experience for anyone that’s considered trying to surf but not sure.
