This place has it all! My trip was in February 2010. I had never surfed before and after a 10 day visit I was up and surfing on my own. The instructors are not only knowledgeable but so fun to get along with. They not only teach you to surf but hang out with you after and take you around... More

I have had the privilege of seeing the school grow and innovate over the years. Not a surfer myself, I do know many who have done this with them with great success. I have had fun with the lead photographer and owner of the school Zach and have seen how hard he and his team have worked over the years... More

I didn't cry when I had to leave the Magic Kingdom as a 6 yr old. I couldn't stop crying when I had to leave the School of the World as a 24 yr old. I arrived at the School one hot Sunday, wearing jeans and a long-sleeve thermal shirt, after 16 hours of traveling from a much colder place.... More

As a photographer, I travel all over the world, so when it came time for me to take a real vacation (three weeks), and not take a couple of days off while I'm traveling on assignment, I tend to know what I'm looking for. When I came upon School of the World, the concept of a learning vacation was new... More

Organized and extremely hospitable in helping you do all you can during your stay. Surf instructors are sincerely and simply amazing people that I respect and admire. I was only there less than 5 days but it took me less than 2 days to figure out how to surf and made new friends from all over the world. More
