Thomas learned so much in just three one hour classes. Prior to taking this class he was afraid to stand on the board. Now he is confidant and surfing and loving it totally.

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.
