We had an absolutely excellent experience with PureSurfSchool today! Our instructor, John, was fantastic, incredibly friendly, super knowledgeable, and overall awesome.

We went surfing for two days as beginners and had a lot of fun! John is a really great instructor with a lot of knowledge and a passion for educating and teaching us. We received individual and fitting equipment for the different skill and weather conditions. We were also a really small group so we felt well taken care of. All in all I would highly recommend taking a surfing class with John and we’d love to return to Gran Canaria for another class!Posted on Google Jad HaidamousTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
