Surfing Instruction
It’s best to schedule surf lessons at the beginning of your trip, since water conditions don’t always cooperate with your scheduled time and it leaves you time to reschedule your lesson. Make sure to ask the company about their policy regarding this before booking to make sure it works for you!
