Honestly, I appreciated how Jose manages to keep the lesson practical, making steady progress seem achievable. The highlight for me was learning new skills, though catching waves could still improve, but I’m optimistic about that. Still, it’s a solid step forward and worth trying if you’re into surfing with an instructor who genuinely supports growth.

What a refreshing lesson with Jose, his thoughtful, patient guidance helped me sense progress in just two sessions, and I’m already picking up basic skills plus surfing etiquette. Small tweaks in water positioning will unlock the next wave, and I’m excited to push ahead.
