Just wanted to thank you for pairing us up with Billy for lessons. He was great with my kids. Not only did we learn alot about surfing but also alot about PR. Jobo's was the perfect spot. He is an awesome teacher and travel guide. I was watching others who were conducting lessons in the area and there was no... More

We planned two days surfing in puerto rico and booked before hand with boarding house. However, first day morning Erica let us know that the weather was not good and they could not take us. As it was our only chance we tried with another surf school from the tripadvisor list and they took us. However the beach was not... More

Erica was friendly and very helpful with booking events. She had a lot of suggestion for places to go and things to do. Carlos was an excellent surf instructor and very patient. He also was an interesting person to talk to and was very insightful on local culture. I would strongly recommend organizing a trip through the boarding house. They... More

I did not want to try surfing because i am afraid of the ocean. I entered the water just hoping to survive and Carlos kept me surfing, laughing, and enjoying nature until I was too tired to keep paddling. It was the best workout I have ever had. I now love surfing and I cannot stop. Thank you Boarding House... More

My husband and I had a fantastic time taking our first surfing lessons ever. Erica made booking the lessons before arriving in PR very easy, and was friendly and accommodating about the timing. The lessons were at beautiful Jobos Beach in Isabela, which was a bit of a drive from Rincon, but once we were there it was clear why... More

Took my kids surfing for the day with Carlos. My kids are 17, 15, 11, 6 & 6. None had ever tried before. My 17 & 11 year olds, who are snow boarders, got the hang of it right away. Carlos was fantastic and was extremely patient, especially with my 15 year old who could not get the hang of... More

My 9 year old son and I took lessons from Carlos and Billy and they were terrific - they were patient and skillful, and know exactly how to get beginners up on a board and surfing. They were also great about finding the right spots and surf; Carlo really to took care of us. More

My girlfriend and I took a surf lesson with the Boarding House and had a great time. Erica and Carlos who run the school are a really nice couple. Erica took care of the booking and was really helpful and easy to deal with (she manages the accommodation too but we were staying down the road). Carlos took us out... More

The Boarding House was one of the best accomodations I have ever stayed in. It was clean, well equipped, spacious and Erica & Carlos were wonderful. I took surf lessons from Carlos and he was so patient and explained what to do well enough that I was able to understand it and do it. Staying there was a great decision... More

Carlos and his instructors are very helpful and laid back. They take you to spots that suite your ability. Don't expect punctuality and be ready to wait your turn if you are in a group lesson, but you will get your money's worth by day's end. More
