    Marcello was a great instructor! Animated, passionate, and extremely knowledgeable about surfing…read more He had lots of stories and experiences to share-- I think hearing all the negatives helped normalize the challenges so when/if things happened we weren't panicked but could be more relaxed. He was very patient and prepared us well with what to expect and educated us on the foundations of surfing. Marcello and his son were really good about teaching the basics and helping in the water to get acclimated and coaching us on timing. We thankfully had perfect weather for learning-- this was the first time ever surfing for all of us but everyone in the group managed to be able to get up on the board to catch some waves! Would definitely recommend!

    We cannot say enough good things about Marcel and Victor. Attentive communication leading up to our…read morelesson, including recommendations for where to park, confirmation the evening before of good weather conditions, and even let us know when he would be in the water with another class and unavailable to answer his phone. Our boys are 6 and 9 and Marcel and Victor were both GREAT with both kids and adults (the kids are the faster learners!) Marcel gave great explanations and then took us out (one at a time at first) on the waves and provided all the instruction we needed... all 4 of us had multiple successful rides before our lesson was through! We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique vacation experience!

    We came here with a large group (15 people) on a Sunday and got 2 boats to go wake surfing. We had…read morean absolute AMAZING time! We were all beginners except 1 person in our group but we were all able to get up on the board because we had such an excellent instructor - Rodolfo! He was so friendly, really knows what he is doing, and you can tell he was very passionate about helping us all get up on the board successfully which we all really appreciated! Getting up on the board isn't easy but definitely possible even if you have no experience whatsoever. Rodolfo even managed to coach someone to stand up on the board who couldn't swim! We went at 3:00PM on a Sunday and it was absolutely beautiful. This experience was so worth it and we all can't wait to go back again! Try to get there at least 30 minutes early since the parking lot can look a little chaotic. If you keep driving to the end of the lot there are usually spots open. You can bring backpacks on with some of your own snacks/drinks. Bring a few beach towels - all the ones we brought got used!

    We went out with our family on Key Biscayne and had a great time! Nick, our Captain, was super nice…read moreand knowledgeable. We had some newbies and he was patient and encouraging. Such a great teacher with our youngest, only 7 Yo. Everyone had a blast! We'll definitely go on another excursion when we're back in Miami.

    Had a great experience with Viking Surf Camp. My wife and I signed up for a lesson during Xmas week…read morewhen things are pretty busy. These guys checked the weather and surf conditions and gave us a time/place meet up spot to ensure maximum fun. Our instructor Chris was excellent. We each got a board as part of the lesson that fit our size. They tolerated our lateness and even gave us some extra time and were very understanding. The lesson started on land with some basic stretching, positioning, and understanding of stance and spring to standing. After that, we got right to it and Chris was amazing at helping us fight through the break and getting our boards to the right place and orientation. He gave us a 1-2-3 count each time to help us get the feel with surfing. As a beginner, I was able to successfully stand up and ride many waves throughout the lesson. It was immensely fun and Chris was a huge part of it. He was super positive and always encouraging even when we fell off immoderately or miss timed the waves. By the end of the lesson I felt pretty comfortable doing it on my own. These guys were one of the more affordable that we looked at when comparing a few different places including some in Miami where I think the surf is often worse. It was also a great work out too. I can't wait to get back on a board and surf again.

    I bought a lesson on Groupon. I have called more than 5 times and left 3 messages over 5 days now…read more I never heard back. I took to long trying to get ahold of someone to get a full Groupon refund. I've seen their vans around Fort Lauderdale, so they must be in business still. They might be good once you get a hold of them, but don't prepay.
