Extremely amazing experience! He was on time, very patient and distributed the time well. I would definitely book again. > From Mariafe, 5 out of 5 > So surfing, the coolest thing you can do. I'm from Texas so not much surf out here. It was my bucket list to learn how to surf. So I figured where else to learn how to surf but California. Sunshine, beautiful woman, and well you know what else. Any ways. I booked a flight got a room in Santa Monica and booked lessons with Claudio. I show up and he was already waiting playing the ukulele (cool). So we spent about 30 min on the sand going thru safety and proper form. After that right to the water. Claudio explained everything very well and he put me on my first wave and I caught it. The feeling… > From joe, 5 out of 5 > Hey! I just had my first lesson with Claudio, and it was an amazing experience. If you're considering taking surfing lessons, I highly recommend him. Claudio is a phenomenal teacher, whether you're a beginner or if you just want to improve your surfing skills. He gave me valuable pointers on areas to improve, and I could feel my skills progressing. He was also thorough in his explanations, making sure I understood why we did everything. While we were in the water, I always felt safe knowing he had my back. I’m excited to continue working with him and improving my surfing skills. Claudio is kn… > From Anthony, 5 out of 5 > I recently took a lesson with Claudio, he was absolutely amazing!! This was my first time surfing and he was great. He first starts with an outside of the water lesson and breaks down the board, the steps to pop up and where to put your feet, and safety. Then in the water he knows exacty which type of wave is for your level and tells you when to pop up and what to do with the board. He really handles everything, knows his skills very well, and gets you to surf!! I was able to ride the waves and it was so exciting!! I highly recommend taking a lesson with him, he is phenomenal. :) > From natashya, 5 out of 5 > Had an awesome first session with Claudio this morning! He was very thorough with our work on the sand, clear on how to keep yourself safe in all the events that can take place on the water, gave great instruction, and I like that he breaks down the “pop up” in more steps than what is typically are taught. He’s a super teacher, has an awesome vibe, and he really gives you a solid experience actually surfing 🏄🏽‍♂️. I purchased a 3 pack of lessons with him and am stoked to finish the last two with him, getting more time on the water SURFING! > From Andrew, 5 out of 5 > I surfed with Claudio and got so hooked on the waves thanks to him. I can actually catch a wave and learned to enjoy surfing a lot. He is a very good teacher and very friendly, with a perfect blend of motivating, encouraging and keeping you safe and focused. He also has a structure of how to evolve you through multiple classes so talk to him about your goals wether it is a one time bucket list experience or actually learning to do turns and surf on your own. See you in the water! > From Ana, 5 out of 5 > I had such an amazing experience with my first surfing lesson! Claudio was a fantastic instructor — friendly, encouraging, and super clear with his instructions. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, even for a complete beginner like me. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to catch and ride my very first waves during the first lesson! Highly recommend taking a class with Claudio if you’re looking to learn surfing in a fun and supportive environment. 🏄‍♀️🌊 > From Iryna, 5 out of 5 > I've had the pleasure of taking several surfing lessons with Claudio. I highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in learning how to surf or broaden your current abilities.
