Francesco was an amazing teacher, enthusiastic and positive throughout. He has a wealth of experience which ensured we able to stand multiple times on our first lesson. Highly recommend!!

Highly recommend!
Anton was a great teacher. We went with 2 x 13yo, a 9yo and myself. Extra attention paid to the youngest making sure she had a good experience and lots of help provided. Super fun and would recommend.

Don’t miss this experience!
Andrew gave my kids a private lesson. Great depth of knowledge and experience- It was a windy day and he was so good at picking the right waves for their level that they were standing in no time!

Great time learning to surf with SUP!
Booked a private lesson as a birthday activity and it was great! Instructor was super helpful and got us (almost) standing up in no time. Fun, welcoming experience and I recommend for anyone looking for to try something a bit different in the heart of Surfers!

Wonderful experience
We had a lovely afternoon on the water with SUP In Paradise! Our family of four had a private lesson with Chris, who was fabulous teaching our 7 year old. Very easy to organise things and a perfect location! We will be back for sure!

very informative and a lot of fun
My boyfriend and me booked a private surf lesson two hours before we wanted to go surfing. We decided to take private teacher instead of joining a group which turned out great. It might be a bit more expensive but the teacher is focusing just on you which is why you learn a lot more. Even though we made the decision so spontaneously the surf in paradise team found time for us. We came to the meeting point where we got wetsuits, boards and sunscreen provided. We were also able to store our valuables in the surf teachers car, which was very useful because we don’t need to worry about it when leaving it on the beach while surfing. The teacher was super friendly and taught us some theory first. Then we practiced on the beach before going into the water. We did very well with his help which is why he gave us some extra time to try out some more advanced techniques. After this lesson I feel confident to rent a board and try surfing on my own.

Great start in the surf for the kids!
I was born in Australia, but my kids have never lived there. Not many waves on the Mediterranean, so when we went to Oz for a Christmas holiday I wanted pro instructors to take them out for their first real surf. Success! All 3 LOVED it and did well in their first session. Chris was great with the booking details, and Adriano was wonderful with the kids!
Operator response
Thanks Mark! Glad the kids enjoyed it! Thanks for bringing them along. Hopefully you will all be back to Australia for some more surfing soon. Kind regards Chris
