Amazing experience surfing with Marcos!Jul 2025 • CouplesMy husband and I were pointed to Marcos by our Airbnb host, and we had an amazing time! Marcos taught us the basics and safety and quickly got us out in the water. We successfully road a few waves to the shore and just had a blast. Highly recommend! Rikki P
