Hi! We booked this trip as a result of the Trip Advisor recommendations. We had people in my group aged 20-61. 1 had a broken foot. To start, I was anxious about booking the tour, as the weblink didn't work for providing credit card information. Then, Kristie, Barry's wife called to secure our deposit. I was still nervous as it... More

Barry was so nice, his instructor helped my reluctant 15 year old try surfing. You also got to use the board for the day, transportation was included and it was on the most beautiful piece of beach. Absolutely lovely. More

Really friendly and easy going staff; Went beyond the surf lesson/rentals and arranged for a full out experience including swimming with giant turtles, snorkeling over shipwrecks and boat access to surf spots for all levels. All and all, we had an awesome time. More

As I write this and I scanned the existing reviews I am not shocked to find no negative reviews. This surf school without a doubt ranks one of the best in the world. As a family traveling we really met about all different levels of surfing. My husband who has been surfing for over 20 years went out on a... More

We had a little mix-up with our surf lesson booking with another surf company and Barry saved the day. He personally gave us (2 adults & 2- 20 yr olds) a, great sand two hour lesson. His teaching skills had us up on our boars within a few attempts. The beach Barry teaches on is in a gorgeous vacation area,... More

Barry and his staff provided everything in terms of equipment and the personalized attention to make sure that everyone in our lesson had a great time. Both my wife and I... More

We are both active and fit individuals, but had never surfed before and did not know what to expect. We arrived at Barry's quaint surf shop and were pleasantly surprised to find out that we would be receiving private lessons from Barry himself. He made us feel comfortable from the moment we got there, explaining that our goal for the... More
