How fit do I need to be?

No one expects you to swim like you’re in the Olympics, but you need to be able to keep your head above water and know how to tread. You’ll feel much more comfortable in the ocean if you’re sure you can swim at least two lengths of a pool. Keep in mind that surfing is physically straining, like any sport, so you should prepare beforehand with stretching and light cardio. This way, you’ll be better equipped to handle what the ocean throws, and in a better position to ride the waves with ease. This adventure is family-friendly! However, for kids who are not very good swimmers, we recommend a one-on-one private lesson. They will be kept in shallow water with the constant and complete attention of an expert surf instructor.

What if I’ve never surfed before?

Surf lessons are recommended for anyone new to surfing. The waves in Puerto Rico are ideal for first-timers. A surf instructor will teach you how to be safe, have fun and work toward standing up on your board. It’s all worth a bit of practice, we promise!

What should I bring to the beach?

Swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, water, snacks and good vibes — we’ll take care of the rest.

Thanks Elliot, I really had a great time. Ready to start my new job tomorrow. Thanks for showing me all those spots and for the great instruction – that session in the rain was awesome! Thanks also for the wonderful healthy food. Best to you the rest of the season in PR and hope to see you in the summer at LB. Kiss to Lucky.

Rob and Maria

We had a great time. We’ve been surfing for decades and have been to Puerto Rico for the winters many times but our stay with Elliot in Aguadilla this year was by far the best experience we’ve had! Elliot showed us some of the best surf spots Puerto Rico has to offer and he always knew where to go depending on winds and swell direction and even where to eat and to relax and where to soak in the island’s natural beauty. His estate is minutes from the surf. Don’t go anywhere else, make this your next destination.
