    This is a hard review. The owner, Travis, did us a favor by getting us in for a surf lesson. I've…read moresurfed before in several places. The problem we had was the surf instructor. There was a language barrier and an instruction barrier. His name is Manuel and his nickname Unca. We just didn't jive. That said, I thought two or three other instructors seemed great. We were all in the waves at the same time. I'd recommend the school but not the instructor we had.

    So we were here for a wedding and was looking to take some surfing lessons in September and the…read morehurricane season. My GF does basically anything on a board and wanted to try regular surfing for a change. Myself 42, 100kg and 193 cm tall never been standing on any kind of board. So this was a challenge worthy Rincon Surf School. :) We found the school online and got it recommended by Billy at Casa Verde Hotel as well. Since we were here for 10 days we wanted to talk to the people at the surf school straight away so on the second day we went passed the school and talked to Whit. Whit he's the typical surfer dude skinny, around 175-180cm maybe, long dark hair with highlights, kinda look like Ryan Gossling with long hair. Lol Anyway, when we told Ryan... Whit about our plans he started with booking us for one day and also since I didn't know the basics, he went through everything in 30 mins with us about the waves, places, safety and some rules all for free. Then on the day we met up with two teachers Mike and Johnny and some other students, they even picked us up at our hotel at 07:00. Then told us that we're heading down to Middles to surf. Mike, who's a smaller version of Whit is the nice talkative guy. He knows a lot and want to tell you everything as fast as possible leaving you with a pair of sore ears afterwards. :) Johnny, also a copy of Whit with the highlights and everything, but a bit taller was our teacher. He told me that he will get me standing in 3 lessons. And i'll tell you at Middles, that was a real challenge for this guy and my GF she was like killing everyone from the first to the last wave. First they told s a little about the beach, currents and waves. The went through the entrance and exit spots and some safety if you got tired. Johnny told us to keep a lookout for him in the water since hes got this Xray surfers eyes and spot all the waves heading our way. So I keept paddling back to him every time I feel for some feedback. He kept coaching even though I looked like a hopeless, he's humble and in some way understands what you are going through. So eventually after first day I caught 2 waves in the 2 hours we were in the water. We got a ride back to the hotel after this and Mike was telling us all about food places along the road. The second lesson was also at Middles and basically went the same, I manage to catch two waves in the 2 hours and also learnt how to place my selfband even sit on the longboard without falling over in the water. Also didn't swallow as much water as the first lesson. Last lesson with Johnny was today and we went to an awesome place called Surfers Spot, where we saw this old guy with a helmet hehe. Today there were lots of surfer in the water and we shared the waves. Today Johnny told me to try to grab the sides while trying to stand up, and to my surprice i caught all waves except two, just as Johnny had promised in the beginning. We had an amazing three lessons and would recommend this school to anyone coming to Puerto Rico for some surfing no matter what your level is. These guys are amazing and I really like Mike and Johnny so I you can choose take any of these two teachers and you will end up happy and safe. :) On our way back we got to talk to Travis, the owner of Rincon Surf School. He's really cool, a bitnolder that the others and all blond, laidback and cool. He knew everything about our 3 days and what waves we've caught. We got a really good price for our 3 lessons and apparently they can even help with cheap lodging for those who only want to surf. Grwat place and we leave happy heading back for Sweden with some new experience. Don't wait, book now!!!

This place is good for beginner or causal surfer/swimmer. Parking on street, usually get full easily near sunset time. Keep you eyes out for narrow road and street parking. This place foes have water bottles, many souvenirs T-shirts & accessories. Also they do have some surf accessories if you need rent or purchase it. I believe they only have one bathroom. Ask the staffs, they always help you out and give your good resources!

Not knowing the area, and being pretty new to surfing (I've done a lot of other boarding), I was very pleased with the helpfulness, knowledge, and friendliness I was provided by Isaira. She showed me how to navigate the area, which made my experience 100x better, helped me choose the board I needed, and made me feel welcome to the area. Later, she even helped me find my sister when I couldn't, as she was my emergency contact. Prices were a great value, and they have a nice selection of gear to buy or rent. Having worked at several snowboard shops over the years, this place reminded me of good times. Highly recommended.

We had Adrian and Giovanni for the tours and just had a blast! They really treat you well and accommodate the tours to your style. It's like your just hanging out with some old friends. Your not just doing these awesome adventures - we also learned about the Puerto Rican culture, ancestry history, and they gave great restaurant recommendations. We rented a car but some other people on our tour group were picked up by Verdeazul for the adventures. Adrian even helped us get connected to a vet when we found a sato (Puerto Rican slang for a street mutt)! We have the most memorable memories from this trip thanks to the guys at Verdeazul! We strongly suggest booking something through them and would recommend it to all our friends and family. They take all the photos for you and email them to you so you don't have to worry about trying to capture the moment and enjoy it at the same time. Not to be missed!

We decided to book a kayaking tour, but I wish we would have paddle boarded but kiddos didn't want. Anyway, as I mentioned the owner was awesome when we arrived. Brian our guide on the tour was super laidback. Was trying to find things to point out during our tour and wasn't invasive at all. Allowed us space to enjoy the beautiful scenery as a family. We stopped for a bit at a swing and the kids had a blast. Some dude told confronted Brian about some permit, which brian told me later they of course had, but Brian played it cool and let the man say his piece and he went on his way. Really a memorable experience. Amazing views of cliffs on the way back. Thanks to Scott and Brian for the experience. We will see y'all next time for sure
