From the first time we spoke/emailed Alex or Derek at RSS when booking our trip (which was often) they were always prompt with responses and willing to answer questions about the area as well as RSS. Both made us feel like part of the family. Alex thanks for sharing all your local knowledge with us. Our surf instructors Nago and Ben were amazing. Their energy and attitude in and out of the water was infectious. Travis you and your staff are first class all the way!! On our flight home my wife and sons were talking about planning another trip! Can’t wait to see you all again!

Fantastic coaches and Travis was so good to us. Our girls surf some, we loved the instruction BEFORE headed into the water, and while in the water. Safety makes for the best experience.
One of our girls surfs well enough, the other is really green and said she didn't like surfing, until today! She had such a comfortable, safe, secure, fun time she wants her own board!
The coaches were so attentive, exciting, fun, and paid close attention to each kid in the line up.
If you want perfectly a booked, timed and technologically advanced experience, well, the mainland may be a better option... We are on island, be patient folks!
I highly recommend these guys. The little from school they have was awesome also! So, that said, we would return here in a heart beat, and recommend it to all friends who want a safe, real fun surf experience cor their kids!

Best surf school in Rincon! These guys are super legit - every single instructor is friendly, professional, and teaches everything from etiquette, to how to pop up, to how to read and catch your own waves. They WILL get you to stand up/on waves no matter your skill level. I’m a return client, have recommended them to everyone I know that goes to Rincon and everyone has raved about it. Alex and Travis go above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and taken care of, don’t miss out on hanging out with this amazing crew and definitely consider the Surf Camps - great value!

This Tewm is amazing. From the local hospitality of the front desk (thanks Alex and Derek) to their incredible knowledge of the water and surf spots; always spot on. Travis went out of his way to share his experiences and his crew safely and professionally escorted us to each and every peak/drop zone. Thanks a ton guys. I will be back! Chris Gren

We came to Rincón for our wedding and I really wanted to learn how to surf. We got 11 people to take a lesson with Rincon Surf School and it was the best experience! The coaches were right out there with us and picking waves for our skill levels. They were so encouraging and analyzed every move to give us great and helpful feedback. Everyone had different athletic abilities and everyone got to catch waves and got up! Their instruction was so clear and simple we all loved it and thought "surfing is so easy!" We never thought it would be like this. All of our fears were squashed and we crushed our first lesson! Lots of high fives and hang looses all around! Their photographer grabbed some great shots too!

Excellent experience! Booked them this past February for my teenage son, he progressed a lot with John Barry. My daughter (12) and younger son (11) saw him having son much fun they wanted lessons also. So, we came back to Rincon last week (end of April) and booked a family lesson (including me 46, never surfed) with Nego and Uco. We enjoyed and progressed so much we repeated the next day! They were very professional, fun, knowledgable always paying attention to safety and accommodating to all our skill levels.
We surfed at Domes, the waves were small, other schools had other groups in lessons and according to my wife (stayed at shore taking pictures) we were the most improved group. For sure it had to do with Nego and Uco, LOL

I'm generally not one to write reviews - but these folks are most deserving. Our trip with Rincon Surf School happened very last minute (like a day before), when we ran into a passport issue. I searched from my phone, found the school, reached the owner, Travis, and within 10 minutes we were booked with daily surf instruction for my boys, quality lodging and key info. I work in travel myself and was impressed to see how quickly he was able to set everything up for us - and all surpassed our needs for a guys surf trip. I was traveling with my two young sons and the trip priority was to get them feeling comfortable in the waves, gaining confidence in their surfing and progressing, if possible. And Rincon Surf School succeeded on every point. My boys lucked out and got to surf with John B. for 4 straight days and he is so amazing with kids - very laid back, patient and makes it all fun for them. To see my boys quickly progress, and having a blast doing it, made me a proud dad . My youngest even came back with a new surfing nickname, which I think was his favorite souvenir. In summary, these guys ROCK and don't hesitate in booking with them! We will be returning to surf with them soon.

First, we had a great time. None of us had surfed previously. Everything needed was provided and as agreed. So why the average rating? The land instructor was preoccupied watching his kids and other students surf, making the instructions a bit erratic and unclear. We had two very capable in-water instructors who made sure we had a great time and surfed as much as we wanted. However, when pretty ladies in bikinis started surfing next to us they were quite prone to distraction as well. Overall, we thought we were paying for three hours of private surf instruction, and it felt more like we were being babysat for an hour and a half. When asking questions about "how" to surf, the instructors didn't seem to be able to explain.

A morning session with Collin at Rincon Surf School helped me move to the next level as a surfer. He immediately spotted my needs, and gave precise advice I could take with me to the next session. Super useful, and a chill and good vibe in the water. All the Rincon Surf School instructors I met are exceptionally good surfers, but also really great teachers and fun people to hang out with in the lineup. Impressive!

My husband daughter and I just had our first vacation and surf lessons in Rincon. I would highly recommend using Rincon Surf School. Everyone we interacted with was amazing. Our lesson was with Angel and I cant recommend him enough. We felt safe and very well informed being first timers. Angel was wonderful and made sure we all caught waves. Each run he critiqued and gave feedback at what to change to give us our best chance at catching the waves. Angel will work with you until you get up on board. Very patient and super nice! Everyone at the Rincon Surf School were extremely nice and encouraging. Whether it's your first time surfing or a seasoned surfer, Rincon Surf School has something for you.

I’m interested in bringing my 11yo for the 4 night surf package. Is that age okay or do you recommend he be a little older?
Written December 11, 2019
Hi, we were there with 3 kids, one is 20, one 11 and one 123: all 3 of them had a wonderful time, and were able to surf after only a few minutes of class (as opposed to the adults...). The teachers were amazing with the kids and their age is perfect.

I will be in San Juan in 2 weeks. How are the conditions of the area in Rincon since the storm? Would it be safe to travel to Rincon from San Juan? (Are the roads good?) . Also, do you have make reservations for surf school?
Written June 3, 2018
We were there at the end of March. The drive from San Juan was fine, and all the hotels and restaurants seemed to be up and running. I would recommend calling the Rincon Surf School to plan your visit. They can tell you about expected surf conditions, as well as make a reservation.

Hi. We are interested in staying at the school's renovated resort. Can people who've been there recently elaborate on the facilities in terms of the rooms and facilities? What level of accommodation is comparable? Thanks
Written December 19, 2015
My wife and I stayed there just before it opened. Full disclosure: Travis and Lucas are our sons. The rooms have all been painted and refurbished and are beautiful. The balcony views are wonderful and the pool is inviting. It is a very quiet location but easily accessible to local restaurants and services. Their is a kitchenette in each unit but no cooking facility except in the third floor suite.
We sat on the balcony overlooking the Caribbean each day and enjoyed the cocktail hour before going to dinner.

Is this area a good place for a family beach vacation? Only our 14 year old daughter is interested in surf lessons. We, her parents, would just like to take it easy. Also, is the 2nd week of March good weather for surfing? Thanks.
Written January 5, 2015
It is not a great area for hanging out at the beach. Good for water sports and not for going with kids. Not a luxurious upscale area.
