Hear what our customers are saying

An incredible introductory surfing experience. The school is in an unbeatable location, and the instructors are always ready to help you enjoy the waves. A special mention goes to the lessons with Koldo, who took us to another level! With his knowledge, humor, and patience, he makes fears and insecurities disappear so you can live in the moment and bring out the best in yourself. I didn't expect to learn so much in such a short time. Thank you so much! See you soon, guys!

In love with Sopelana, surfing, and the school!! An incredible experience with Koldo as our instructor, who has been a true discovery. You can tell he loves what he does, that he makes an effort to help us learn, and that he's engaged with each person he teaches. And all of this with lots of humor, jokes, and laughter included. 100% recommended and we'll definitely be back!! 🏄🏽‍♀️🫶🏻 P.S.: Special mention to Miguel Olaso, who helped Koldo in several of the classes and was also a pleasure ☺️

Amazing: the people, the teachers, the atmosphere, the classes. I wanted a one-on-one class with Koldo, but he recommended the group class because it doesn't exceed 6 people and the treatment is individualized. You're absolutely right! I practiced a lot with Koldo and will definitely repeat when I'm in the Basque Country. I've been to many schools: I RECOMMEND THIS ONE 100% 🔝🔝🔝🙌🏻🌊🏄🏻‍♀️ Hugs, family.
