George_M, Feb 2023

Mike was an excellent host and instructor for our day at cerritos. He took care of everything from our pickup to providing a great lunch and trip back to our hotel. He is also a great surfer and I learned a lot from him. If you have time and want to get out of cabo for a day, this a great beach trip.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thanks for sharing your experience, Mike is an experienced surfer by your side you will be safe and have fun while riding your first waves. We hope to see you again in sunny Cabo. Warm regards HT Team

Great for a family trip!

Helena_M, Dec 2022

It was so fun! Myself, my older brother, younger sister, and dad basically got a private lesson. The 3 surf instructors helped us catch waves and were great at guiding us through smaller to larger waves. I wasn’t expecting to be able to stand that quickly — or at all — during my first lesson. They met all four of us at the level we were at and adjusted their coaching to meet our skill levels.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

We are glad that you enjoyed the surf lessons to the fullest, the guys will make you ride your first wave, it is not necessary to have experience, we will always help you. We hope to see you on your next vacation to have fun in the waves. Warm regards HT Team
