Mediocre experience
The instructor was good and helpful, and she followed us at all times helping us catch the waves. The only flaw is that... there were no waves. When we arrived on the spot we inquired about the sea conditions and they confirmed that they were good, but once at the beach we realized that the sea was practically flat. Besides, the beach is full of swimmers and there is no delimited surfing area. For this reason we felt fooled. I would hardly return to surfing with them without first checking the weather conditions.

Worth a try!
Very fun and safe surf school. Went with friend and I had been before for taster surf. Slightly different method but managed to stand on board and surf a few times. Excellent class with great amount of time in water!
