Ariel and his team — with Daren and Jesus named in some accounts — are what people mention most: patient, professional and the kind of instructors who make you feel safe in the water, whether it's a first lesson or fine-tuning your technique. Some parents have trusted them with their kids for years, one took a 6-year-old for a day of surf and beach, and another calls Ariel a professor of "wave-ology": he reads waves like a book and knows where to find them for his students, with the flexibility to pick the right beach and time.
The boards are good quality at a fair price, and swapping one for a different size when the waves change is no trouble: one guest went from a 6'1 to a 5' two days later without any fuss, and was let take the board and pay during the session. The vibe is relaxed and family-friendly, and the school sits in Playa Hermosa, 20 meters north of the soccer field.
