Wonderful view, great lesson - My instructor was extremely patient and kind. His knowledge and training experience helped ease my nerves as I was extremely nervous. I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and conquer. My instructor helped me do just that! I would highly recommend!

Amazing surf instructor - He is an excellent person and a very attentive surf instructor. His lessons really helped me learn how to surf and gain confidence in the water. He is always in a great mood, smiling, and sometimes even singing, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. I totally recommend him to anyone who wants to learn surfing or improve their skills

I recommend closed eyes! - Rafa is a very respectful instructor who wants to teach the surfing techniques and not just be a “board push” - which is quite common in Arpoador. Worried about your evolution and making yourself independent in surfing! I have already taken several classes with him and recommend closed-eyed. As a major differential has the optimal level of his English, which makes him much more prepared to teach the foreigners than the competitors!
