Our family of four beginner surfers (parents and teens) just returned from Playa Grande where we had three super fun lessons with Jost. He is an excellent teacher who explained the fundamentals really well. We all felt very safe and learned a lot! We much preferred being out with an instructor instead of trying to figure it out on our own. I also really appreciated the good communication during the booking process and how organized things were once we arrived. Thank you!!

My wife and I booked a semi-private surf lesson with a specific instructor. She had taken lessons from him last year and really liked him. She ended up having to drop out so I got a 90 minute private lesson. It was a disappointing experience, particularly compared to the experience I saw others having with a different instructor. --Students with the other instructors were given rash guards. Our instructor forgot to bring any for us. --The waves were very big the day of our lesson. I watched the other instructor help their students get the boards out each time through the rough surf. My instructor left it all to me, which meant I quickly became exhausted just getting the board out to where we were starting each time. When he was holding the board, if a big wave came he would just let go so that he could duck under it, leaving me to deal with the board and the wave. --I had taken a surf lesson several years ago and was told to stand with my left foot forward (I am right-footed). This instructor insisted I should have my right foot forward even when I shared my prior experience. I struggled for the first half of the lesson before switching on my own (and doing much better).
