Did the Sunset Surf Safari with Chris while on a vacation with three friends. We had a BLAST! Chris is awesome - hes a great surf instructor, very friendly, and great vibes all around. He told us some great stories on the ride to and from the beach. Our surfing experience level varied throughout the group but all of us... More

Chris was incredible. I decided I wanted to learn to surf for my 40th Birthday. I was a little nervous because I am not athletic or coordinated at all. To my amazement Chris had me up surfing in time. Seriously.....me....I was surfing!! My husband had surfed when he was a kid, so Chris was able to give him some great... More

Chris is great. Even before I arrived we were in communication about my surfing abilities and carefully choosing the proper size board for me. He is passionate about surfing, incredibly knowledgeable and he brings those attributes into the water with him, which translates into great lessons and a steep learning curve. He loves what he does, makes the experience a... More

He always made... More

If you are in the Montezuma area you will miss out if you do not take surf lessons with Chris Johnson. This man is possibly the friendliest person I have ever met and got me up on my board in only a couple of tries. He also took a bunch of pictures of us while we were surfing and posted... More

He took us to Playa Hermosa because the waves there that... More

Our favorite memories from our entire week vacation were spent with Chris, especially during post-lesson sunset bonfires. These experiences were the highlight of our trip. Chris goes out of his way to make... More

thank you Chris for this amazing experience at playa hermosa and the great surf we had. We loved the bonfire and watching the sunset and the scenery was just marvellous. Thanks again for this great trip and we hope to visit soon as soon as we get back to montezuma!! More

I have to agree with all the positive posters about Chris' surf school. I spent three days with Chris and Johan and it was great, these two guys are cooler than the other side of the pillow. The instruction was fantastic and overall an extremely great value when you considered the board rentals and transportation costs that are involved. Just... More
