1st time surfers
This was such a great experience Pablo was our head coach (who mostly made my experience) and his other surf coach Oscar was so good with my 8 y/o daughter. My son (18) got such great advice that he began trying to be a real surfer. lol Overall this group could handle anything from myself (older, more broken, and heavier set) to my daughter who was scared at first but because of their guidance she was looking like a pro. We also got the pictures that were captured and they did such a great job making sure all of us had a cool action shot. Please, please pick this if you ever wanted to try surfing. Such a great location, excellent instructors and photographic evidence to prove you accomplished the task.

Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful review! 🏄♂️❤️ It truly means the world to our whole Polysurfschool family.
It was an absolute pleasure having you and your family with us. Seeing your daughter go from feeling nervous to catching waves with confidence was one of those moments that makes us love what we do! 🌊 And we’re so happy your son caught the surfing bug too! 😄
Oscar and I are incredibly grateful for your kind words. We always try to make sure everyone—no matter their age, experience or level—feels safe, supported and has an unforgettable time in the water.
And of course… those action shots are the perfect proof! 📸🔥
Thank you for choosing Polysurfschool and trusting us with your family. We hope to see you back in Cartagena for many more waves! 🌴🏄♀️🏄♂️
With gratitude,
Pablo & the Polysurfschool team 🌊

Great experience with wonderful instructors! They were patient and engaging with our 8 and 10 year old boys. The directions were clear and we had a great day. The company even shared some stellar photos they took of our group!

Easily catch waves and have the photos to prove it.
This was a great experience for my family. My 9 year old wanted to try it out and so we booked for the whole family. The instructors were attentive and set us up to easily catch waves. The best part is you are in the water most of the time with a small instruction on how to pop up on the board. This was perfect and all you need since the boards are a little wider to make it easier to balance for your first time. Also, we have so many pictures to look through since a person is on the beach taking them for us with a professional camera. This is such a bonus! Highly recommend Pablo and his team.

Amazing and Patient surf instruction!
Really loved my experience surfing. I have only tried it once before and I'm not the strongest swimmer, but fortunately, the beach has shallow waters and you're tied to the surfboard the whole time. Pablo was extremely patient and attentive with us and always had a smile on his face, which made the experience even more fun. The waves are perfect for beginners, but I saw some larger waves you could try on if you are more experienced too! Highly recommend for anyone hoping to try surfing in Cartagena!

It was a pleasure sharing this surfing experience with you. We're so happy to hear that you felt comfortable and safe in the water, especially as a beginner. Seeing our students gain confidence and enjoy their time in the ocean is what motivates us every day.
Thank you for highlighting the beach conditions and the variety of waves we have for all levels. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Cartagena for many more waves and smiles!
See you in the water! 🌊🏄♂️

Great experience
Highly recommend the class with Pablo. It was the first surfing experience for my son and he really enjoyed it. At the beginning they practiced standing up on the suspended board in the shop. Everyone had his/her own instructor in the sea.
We’ve received the photos within a day.

Enjoyed surfing in the morning on the beaches of Cartagena
I had a great time surfing in Cartagena. My instructor, Sebastian, was very helpful in giving advice as well as patient in helping me to get up on the board and surfing the waves.
I was able to get up relatively quickly and tried to apply all the advice he gave to improve my technique. Surfing is really fun and this company and the instructor were great!

My children have been attending the Summers for several years and they never miss a season, they love it so much.
It is a unique experience, for the first time I surfed, and I would come back again, fun, safe and empathetic with my zero level

Excellent!
My kids loved the private lessons. They were very polite and informative. The lesson was taught with a great focus on surfing and the kids individual skills. After 1.5 hours my kids felt more confident.
