Bob was great, easy going surfer dude, he took our 12 year old under his wing and gave him a great lesson. Also, he let us, my wife and I, have a chance on the board, which was great! While we tell our friends in Philadelphia of our great time in Puerto Rico, one of the reasons was this experience.... More

Bob was very thorough and my 2 kids (ages 12 and 15) thoroughly enjoyed their lesson. He was very good at explaining small corrections in form etc and in no time both kids were upright on their boards. He had another instructor working with him in the water so they could continue trying to ride the waves in. He started... More

I'm relatively fit, but at 54 years old with no board sports experience I was pretty sure that my try at a crash course in surfing would be unsuccessful. Bob certainly proved me wrong, as by the end of the lesson I was consistently riding the waves and I'm looking forward to the next time I can try it. The... More

We got in contact with Bob to give suring lessons to our family, 2 adults and 2 kids, ages 11 & 14, none of whom had ever surfed before. After the initial instruction on the beach, Bob got us out in the wonderful warm water and we were all up surfing in no time. He was friendly, patient and encouraging.... More

Our 22 year old son was reluctant to take surfing lessons as he's a "do-it-myself " kind of guy. He's pretty athletic and an avid snow and skateboarder, so he was pretty sure he'd pick it up quickly. After an hour of so of trying on his own, it became clear that some assistance would be needed if he was... More

There were five of us (four adults, one 13-yr-old) who signed up with Bob for a beginner surf lesson. He said he wouldn't know until that morning which of several beaches we would go to, so he called me that morning as arranged and texted me directions where we should meet him. He gave us a land lesson, a brief... More

Bob gave lessons two my two sons. He spent a generous amount of time with them, way more than we expected. Halfway through the lesson, they were surfing! They had no experience before this. Bob and his helpers were superb! Thanks for a great experience. More

We didn't get a chance to stay at Sue's place, but we did a group surfing lesson with her husband Bob and his assistant Jeremy at Playa Azul in Luquillo. We were a small group ages 22-55, all beginners. Bob and Jeremy gave us a comprehensive short dry-land lesson, and then we all got in the waves and tried out... More
