Fantastic location, with everything you could need to learn to surf or improve your technique - the guys will help you with choosing a board, take you through the basics or more advanced lessons and they even lend you a funky surf top so you look the part. Thoroughly recommend the C&C Surf School Nick St Clair

Charlie was super helpful everyday during our week-long vacation. He accommodated multiple requests and gave us great tips on surfing in the area. Thank you!

Our son (10) got a private lesson and he was standing up in no time. The instructor was very attentive and fun. Great place

Good value for money. The instructor was very relaxed, but attentive, making sure everyone had the correct board and instruction for how quickly they picked up the techniques. Recommend doing this on the first day of your stay as you can then go back and borrow a surfboard for free during the week after your lesson. My husband and I... More

Good value for your money, and you should go have your lessons the first day, because they offer free rental of surfboards the next five days after your lesson. They also offer horseback riding who was great. Take the two hour tour down the beach and be sure you are on the horseback when the sun setts!

We attended the surf school as a family. They did a separate lesson for our two kids (aged 7 and 9), and my husband and I did our own. Great instructors for both lessons. A nice bonus is that after a lesson you can use boards for free for the next week. It worked out well for adults, but was... More

Never surfed before and on my 44th birthday, I learned to surf. Thanks for the great lessons! If you already know how to surf they offer surf board rentals as well as boogie boards. Great place in a perfect location on Samara beach.

For my 13 and 10 year old, this was great surfing instruction. Samara beach has waves perfect for learning. They had a 1 1/2 hour lesson and were able to use the board for our entire stay.

Our family, six of us between the ages of 15 and 50 signed up for group lessons. We chose C & C because they had certified instructors and they were the only school on the beach that talked about safety in the water while they were giving us their pitch. Sure surfing is fun, but drowning after you get hit... More
