What surfers say

My wife and I had an incredible surfing experience with Tomas! His expertise of the ocean and surfing instilled confidence, and we felt safe and well-guided throughout the entire session. Tomas's friendly communication and patience made the day even more enjoyable. I can't recommend him enough for an unforgettable surfing adventure!
Tomas is an incredible instructor! He teaches things so succinctly yet very thoroughly. Not only is he an amazing surfer himself but he is also fantastic at transferring that knowledge across and gives very on spot feedback, which makes learning and improving so much easier. Bonus point: He also has the coolest stories! Cannot recommend him enough!
Tomas is an awesome guide, I felt really safe in the water with him and he was able to offer valuable knowledge to build my confidence. Really listened to my needs and adapted accordingly. Plus he’s just super fun.

  • Level 3, Intermediate: confident in head high waves, has your own equipment and is working on trim, turns and cutbacks.
  • Level 4, Advanced: comfortable in overhead surf and working on advanced manoeuvres and competition technique.

Not sure where you fit? Get in touch and we'll help you work it out.
