"One of my goals for my holiday in Santa Teresa was to try a surf lesson. I was lucky enough to find a local offering lessons with years of experience. He was patient and knowledgeable and had a natural intuition for what each person needed. He made sure everyone had fun, regardless of their abilities! Prices were comparable tto what the local shops offered as well. 10/10 experience. Highly recommend!”

"Surfing with Lenin is real fun. He's a very good teacher in the way that he gives you good technique, motivation and kind, strong support. I never felt ashamed or guilty, always felt motivated and encouraged, and the best is his congrats at the end of the wave! You also get to surf with him which is nice because let's face it... He's a monster in the water!!"

​Our experience with Lenin was unique, not only because he is very professional and always making sure that you are good, but in addition to helping us with technique, he taught us to connect with the waves. This was the most valuable thing for me and this is everything. This learning was done through a relaxed and supportive environment, always with good vibes and professionalism. It's the first time I have enjoy surfing lessons so much. It was like messing around with a local friend. He is the clear example of loving what you do and it shows in the water. We totally recommend Professor Lenin!
