“I am extremely upset and disappointed in Private Los Cabos surf lesson. It is a parent’s worst fear to send their child away for a class, and have them come back unsafe and hurt. My 6 year old son fell onto the surfboard and his lip, chin, and nose were cut open. He had to go to emergency to have 3 stitches. I understand accidents happen, but the teachers should have given him more instructions and training before letting him out to the ocean. In addition, there needed to be much more handholding, foresight experience, and careful watching for a first time young child surfer. The teachers had the audacity…”

“Our instructor Carlos was the best. Super friendly guy and a huge help out in the water. Martin (the owner) met us there and had a cooler with snacks, drinks, and sandwiches that I actually still think about. The other instructors that were helping the other couple were super friendly as well. Super easy logistics, super friendly people, great half day adventure.”
