Fernando is an incredible instructor. He is very knowledgeable about surfing, and is super encouraging and a great coach for beginner surfers. I didn't expect to be able to ride waves consistently or even stand up in a first lesson, but Fernando's expert instruction made it possible! Highly highly recommend
