Great welcome, doesn't speak French but does everything to satisfy the customer with translation on the phone. He even offers a private lesson with a bilingual instructor that I did for a first time. I recommend this package 70 euros for 2 hours instructor and equipment, it's not bad at all. Afterwards, I took a group lesson, having a few basics and not being bilingual we get by very well with gestures. Little anecdote, I went to Franz Surf school, he must not have liked the French or working so to be avoided and just as well I went next door to Kontraola.

Private and semi-private surf lessons with teenagers
We booked a private one-on-one lesson for our 12 and 14-year-old children since it was their first time getting on a surfboard and we preferred that they have more personalized attention.
They liked it a lot and we decided to book a pack of 3 lessons (this time "semi-private", one instructor for 2 people).
In total they took classes with different instructors. Everyone was very kind, but we especially highlight the friendliness, patience, kindness, and professionalism of ISRAEL.
We are very grateful, because the children were left with a very good impression of this sport.
Many thanks to the coordinators as well for making the logistics possible by squaring the instructors' schedules with ours.
We will definitely repeat when we return next summer!

Always Good To Try New Things
Great new experience but felt there was a lack of instruction, we all got bashed by each others boards and our own. No advice on how to manage the boards outward to sea and instructor seemed distracted. It was a fun experience though and would do it again.

Victor is the best surfing instructor !
I got to say I was a bit nervous as it was my first time trying out surfing, specially because I keep hearing how hard it was. I had the best time and I honestly believe it is because of our instructor Victor. He made everything feel and look easy. He was happy to help out and happy to be there! I think this beach is a great spot for first timers like us.

Fantastic surfing lesson!
My kids had a surf lesson with Kontraola during May half term. Felix the owner was very welcoming and helpful and Israel could not have been a nicer instructor! They were in a group of 6, which was very manageable for everyone getting help. It was very easy to book the lesson online and well organised, with a confirmation email coming straight away, and afterwards, a link to the photos taken plus a feedback survey. My kids enjoyed it so much, they went back for another lesson a day later, with Israel again, happily - and what an improvement! They’re hooked! Thank you so much to Kontraola. Lots of love from Ella (the boss!), Thomas and Cathy (mum)

Highly recommended surf lessons
Since the parking situation on site was difficult, they waited for us with the surf lesson, which was extremely unexpected and accommodating. The lesson itself was super fun and is definitely recommended! We would definitely come back!

Super fun first time surfing experience with great instructor!
Great excursion, and we had the best instructor, Jose! He gave us great instructions on how to stand on the board and to make sure we were safe in the water. He took time to watch each person and help everyone get up on the waves! I had never surfed before, and was able to stand up on the board a few times! It was the perfect amount of time, and they supplied sufficient gear (wet suit, surf board, and boots) to make sure we were warm and safe. Would highly recommend to everyone who visits!

It was amazing, it was my...
It was amazing, it was my first time surfing and it was brutal, to repeat totally. The school's great and the teacher we got, Vicky, the best teacher we could have, a 10.

Surfing Lesson in the Sun
Great surf lesson from Fillipe. Efficient, multi-lingual, bro even did a headstand on the surfboard. Super friendly staff and shout out to Anais for being so helpful. Plenty of waves and overall a great experience.

🌊 Hey Rose! This review absolutely made our day! 😍✨ Fillipe is a true legend — efficient, multilingual, and apparently a surfboard acrobat too? 🤸♂️🏄♂️ So stoked he brought the stoke and that Anais took great care of you as well! Plenty of waves, good vibes, and a headstand on the board — sounds like the perfect session! 🙌💙

Thanks for riding with us! 💫🙏
