bob's east island surfing adventures

We heard about Bob's surf lessons from a local, and we were not disappointed. We had a lesson with another company earlier in the week but after an hour we still couldn't stand up on the board. Then we got a lesson with Bob's, our instructor Justo had us all standing and catching waves within a half hour. The instructors are very patient and had a keen eye on our technique, so they knew exactly what tips to give so we could pop up and get the best rides. I highly recommend them for anyone to learning to surf!

We heard about Bob through acquaintances at our resort who had been taking lessons with him for years. This was our kids' first surfingexperience, and Bob was very thorough, patient and extremely safety conscious. He made it fun, and the kids are now hooked. After the lesson, we rented boards from Bob who kindly delivered them to us and arranged pickup. He was a wealth of knowledge not only about surfing, but also gave great advice about other fun things to do in the area. I would highly recommend Bob to anyone who wants to learn to surf. Not only is he a great guy, but he is also an extremely competent teacher. Take lessons here and tell all your friends!

My husband booked us lessons for the both of us on a birthday trip to Luquillo. Jeremy was awesome. He gave detailed, easy to understand instructions and was really dedicated to us catching some waves. We both were hooked and then got lessons for our 5 and 7 year old girls.They loved the lessons, as he is equally good at teaching the little ones as the adults. He also had his son along and they enjoyed his help too. Next vacation = more surfing for us all! Totally worthwhile, highly recommended! Thanks Again!

My boyfriend and I learned to surf from Jeremy, who gave us a thorough introduction to the basics on the beach before getting in the water. We were up on our feet in no time! It was a beautiful day with great waves and Jeremy was a great instructor, knowledgable and patient. We surfed until we were too tired to surf any more!

Bob was very helpful and friendly and the instructors were great. We really enjoyed a couple days of surfing.

Bob is not only very knowledgeable and talented, he is a great instructor and a wonderful person !We had the best day of our whole trip with him !He went out of his way to accommodate us and also suggested some great things for us to do!Can't wait to come back and spend more time with him !!You MUST experience Bob's surfing instruction when in Puerto Rico!

We had Justo as our instructor and he's awesome. He really broke down the steps into easy to understand instructions and was with us in the waves the whole time. He was also very patient and gave us tips on adjusting our positions. Safety was also his key concern and he taught us how to fall safely. And fall into the water we did, but for the times we didn't fall, boy, it felt great!

Bob was awesome. In fact, we booked a second lesson for our daughters , ages 14 and 16. Bob is reliable and kind. He was very patient and gave great instruction. Highly recommended.

Great instructors, beautiful beach, excellent value. Beginner or experienced surfers will love this experience.

We had a FANTASTIC time with Bob and the guys! They gave specific instructions and undivided attention that helped us have a successful and safe surfing adventure. There was instruction and practice on the beach to make sure that everyone was able to go through the steps from the ready position to standing up. I was so impressed with the way they were able to explain the basics of surfing and being safe in the water. I loved that Bob and the guys were very attentive and gave us one-on-one personalized attention. It was well more than we expected and this made a huge difference as my husband and two sons were able to get up on the boards quickly and enjoy a fantastic surfing experience. I especially appreciated how they were able to help my youngest son (13 yrs old), who had never been surfing before, get passed his hesitation and really enjoy the surfing adventure. It only took him a couple of attempts and he was up and surfing! He said it was the best part of our trip! I think we all agree that this was an absolutely amazing experience!

Simple, straight forward approach to the basics. My niece & I had a great time getting a chance to get up on the board & enjoy a few waves. Patient instruction & so much fun!

Bob and Jeremy had my kids up and surfing quickly. Playa fortuna is a nice sandy beach to learn to surf. The waves were just right for a first lesson. The kids enjoyed talking basketball with Jeremy. We chuckled when Wisconsin beat Oregon in the tournament soon after that. There was broken glass on the beach so be careful. Why people can't throw their garbage in the trash cans is beyond me! Such a beautiful island. It's a shame to see littered beaches. However, Bob and Jeremy were great teachers.

We had to book the following day and Bob accommodated us with lessons for our 12 y/o's and some rental boards for others. They helped everyone even though we had rented some boards. It was just the right timing as we were getting tired and fulfilled. They pointed us in the direction of the little fruit stand with excellent lunch and fresh fruit smoothies. They were there a little later.

My two teen girls from Kansas had always wanted to learn how to surf. Bob and his teachers were FANTASTIC!!! All 6 people in the class aging from 11 to 40's got up on their first attempt!!!!! If you have ever wanted to learn these guys are the ones to teach you and your children-excellent teachers that are very encouraging!!!! Our girls felt like Bethany Hamilton :)!!!! Can't say enough good things about this experience! We will see you the next time we come to Puerto Rico!!!!!!

Now don't let our experience deter you... actually the activity was very safe. There was almost a 1:1 ratio for students to instructors... however, my daughter dislocated her shoulder near the end of the lesson. Bob was very helpful as we had no idea where to go for medical attention- he came barefoot in our car to guide us to the center in Luquillo, and when they could not handle her situation there- he had one of his instructors drive his motorcycle (we followed in our car) to the hospital 15 minutes away. Unfortunately, she had to be put out while they put her shoulder back in place- a very painful experience. But Bob and his staff were very helpful and caring during this whole time. Unfortunately,we didn't get to finish the lesson, but prior to this mishap, my daughter (age 19) was having a great time and was getting the hang of it after the beach lesson and going into the water for a short amount of time. And she will have a good story to tell her grandchildren someday.
