If you have every wanted to try surfing Macao beach is the perfect place to be introduced. Warm water, soft sandy bottom and fantastic instructors. In one morning the friendly crew at Coast Riders will have you out and riding waves before lunch. Highly recommend Carlos and his friendly multi-lingual team. Giovanni is fantastic at capturing the highlights on film,... More

Surfer's and skater's can hang out at this really cool shop, check out the clothes and gear, chat with fellow riders, and hit the skate park next to the mall parking lot. Great atmosphere and fun conversation. The shop offers riding lessons for both sports (I went on the surf excursion. It was excellent!) and hosts contests and other events.... More

Wonderful surfing experience. Knowledgeable and very friendly staff. Giovanni and Jimmy were fantastic. Picked us up from Dream PC Resort and took us directly to Macao Beach. This beach was great for surfing, only waist height water and no rocks - which was handy after a few tumbles. My younger cousins and girlfriend had no problem getting up on several... More

They made me feel comfortable right away. They gave us a short lesson on techniques and we were off to the water in no... More

My boyfriend figured he would try surfing while in the Dominican Republic, stumbled across CoastRiders and booked a lesson with them on our second day. We met up with Giovanni who took us to gorgeous Macao beach (which our tour guide said was closed) for a three hour session. This might actually be the best office in the world -... More
