6 Year Old Came Back With 3 Stitches

Tuc_T, Jul 2023

I am extremely upset and disappointed in Private Los Cabos surf lesson. It is a parent’s worst fear to send their child away for a class, and have them come back unsafe and hurt. My 6 year old son fell onto the surfboard and his lip, chin, and nose were cut open. He had to go to emergency to have 3 stitches. I understand accidents happen, but the teachers should have given him more instructions and training before letting him out to the ocean. In addition, there needed to be much more handholding, foresight experience, and careful watching for a first time young child surfer. The teachers had the audacity to say this happens all the time to the kids. I cannot express the sadness I feel when I look at his face. The picture was taken next day, after 5 sessions of icing the wound. We still have several days of vacation left where he cannot enjoy himself and activities such as the pool, due to possible infection. If this is the kind of trip you want for your family, then I would encourage you to pay and sign up for this surf tour. If not, I CANNOT recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

We sincerely apologize for the unfortunate incident that occurred. We understand that accidents can happen, but we want to clarify that they do not happen all the time. We regret that the instructor made a statement suggesting otherwise, he was talking about dropping off the board, not accidents. It's essential to note that your child fell forward, not backward, as demonstrated by the instructor during the class. We acknowledge that you had already pointed this out to your child. In response to the situation, we took immediate action to assist you. One of our guides accompanied you to the hospital while the rest of your family continued with the lesson under the supervision of another guide. Once again, we offer our sincere apologies for any distress this incident may have caused. Our primary concern is the safety and well-being of our participants, and we assure you that we will review our safety protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future. If you have any further concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We value your feedback and are committed to delivering an enjoyable experience for all our participants. Thank you for your understanding. Best Regards HT Team
