The instructor Lucy was very patient while explaining surfing techniques.Posted on Google Amy CaspariTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. June 2026- We have been using EcoVentures experience for years for our guests and visitors in CM, and everyone always enjoys the unique opportunity to surf as a highlight of their trip. It is a lot of fun and the booking, service, and location is very convenient, and the instructors are great with novices. We had a group of 10 young adults visiting from the University of Georgia this time, and they relished in this experience.Posted on Google Becky RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I initially learned how to surf in Bali and had such a blast but it had been over a year, so I wanted to get another lesson with the Atlantic waves. I also convinced my two siblings to join and we had the best time! David is super smart and a patient instructor. The conditions were great and the gear was A+. I’d totally recommend this school if you want to try your hand at catching a wave!Posted on Google Michelle EllisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

This crew was GREAT! Sent my 13yr old daughter to a private lesson with Annie and couldn't be happier. My daughter tends to have issues with being shy and overwhelmed by groups; Annie was superb. We sent my daughter back 2 days later for another lesson. We sent my 2 boys to a group lesson with Keegan, Dave and others and that went very well also. We couldn't be happier.Posted on Google Jennifer CochranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
