Fernando is the real deal and a very thoughtful person. Two years in a row he has been a fantastic surfing instructor for us, The memories of me and my son living the 'surfer life' in California, if but for just a day, I will treasure forever. Fernando goes above and beyond. A pleasure to know him. Hopefully we will see him again next year during our visit. Don't even hesitate, book a session with Fernando!
Maria
Fernando is an incredible instructor. He is very knowledgeable about surfing, and is super encouraging and a great coach for beginner surfers. I didn't expect to be able to ride waves consistently or even stand up in a first lesson, but Fernando's expert instruction made it possible! Highly highly recommend
