I came on the recommendation of friends, and I can't recommend Gecko Surf School highly enough! In a small group of four beginners, we were wonderfully supported and made incredible progress in one lesson. It's a great spot for beginners; the waves are the perfect size, and you can walk everywhere. Thank you, Gecko, for this great experience!
