Customers consistently praise the staff, particularly Gabe and the owner, for their exceptional warmth, knowledge, and willingness to go above and beyond for service and lessons.

The Good

Customers overwhelmingly praise the staff, particularly Gabe and the owner (Matua), for being incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and going above and beyond. Specific highlights include excellent, fun, and safe surf lessons, great advice on gear, a warm and heart-centered shop atmosphere, and fantastic support for the local free beach wheelchair program, enabling disabled visitors access to the beach. The shop also offers a great selection of gear, CBD products, and skim/surf boards.

Things to Consider

Significant negative feedback centers on issues with beach wheelchair reservations, where customers prepaid or reserved online only to be told upon arrival that the chairs were unavailable or already rented out, leading to major disappointment, especially for travelers with disabilities. Additionally, one review cited extremely poor service for a surf lesson, involving three reschedules, a 30-minute delay, and a recommendation against booking lessons there. The website/email contact system was also noted as nonfunctional by one user.
