The surf school "Del Soul" has been operating since 2006 and was founded by Amit Londner the head instructor and lifetime surfer that love to share his knowledge and skills with aspiring surfers from around the globe. Surfing is lifestyle, fun, great health and also a unique experience. Del Soul surf school instructors are well experienced and professional with families and children from 3 years old, group lessons and surf retreats. We offer personalized attention and guides, and promising great adventure. Whether you are a first time surfer or an intermediate surfer looking to brush up on some skills a lesson at Del Soul will be fun and educational. Instruction for first time surfers will focus on practical surfing skills before entering the water, including safety, etiquette, entering and exiting the surf zone, catching waves, standing up, and finally, surfing itself. The goal is to get comfortable with the movements involved on land and then transfer those motions to the water. It is common for first time surfers to successfully stand up and catch a wave by the end of the first lesson. It is all about building confidence. After the first lesson participants can keep the board for up to 24 hours free of charge so they can continue to practice. Instructors are certified lifeguards and will be in the water ensuring that students are both having fun and remain safe. For surfers more experienced, Del soul surf school is offering a special advance lessons around the Mal Pais, Santa Teresa area, you’ll be joining us for a day trip or an advance section at one of the local’s secret spots. At Our surf shop you can fine a large selection of surfboards for rent to all levels. « less

My wife and I decided to take a surf lesson on our Honeymoon because, well, we were in Santa Teresa and that is simply what you do. For our first experience, I'm so happy that we made the decision to stroll into Del Soul and have Amit accompany us for the afternoon. With there being a time limit for these... More

Amit was absolutely the best instructor for my son and I. He was: absolute in his words for instruction, defining in making sure the details were understood, and kind in sincerity. The combination of his talent, skill, and understanding for teaching individuals within a group, made for an outstanding experience. My son and I felt taken care of and safe.... More

I don't have enough positive adjectives to describe our recent experience with Amit. He was amazing with both my wife and I, using equal parts motivation, encouragement, and clear instruction. His love of the sport (and bringing new people to it) is so apparent, and it is infectious. We loved the lessons so much we both came back for more-... More

Amit is an incredibly astute instructor and teaches you in such an enthusiastic manner you're excited to learn and improve. He notices... More

The following review cannot describe enough the passion that Amit has to surfing. He will demonstrate, teach and instruct you exactly step by step till you will stand on your board and catch your own waves. He's very professional and will point out the things that need to be improved and with no time you will find yourself surfing alone.... More

"I promise that I'll have your entire family standing on their surfboards within two hours" claimed our enthusiastic instructor, Amit. His bold claim that he could transform five heretofore surfing virgins into actual surfers in one short session seemed skeptically ambitious. Two hours later, Amit had achieved his lofty goal. Moreover, his infectious enthusiasm left us all with the surfing... More

Del Soul Surf School Santa Teresa I have to admit is the best place to enjoy hospitality in Santa Teresa. As I am a religious surfer, it is important to me to have professional instruction and great company while I hit the waves. Del Soul Surf School is the most amazing school on the island as their instructors are friendly,... More

Simply the best! As a tall mal-coordinated ex-rugby player, my surfing ambitions were always a long shot. But Amit from Del Soul Surf School is as close as it gets to a miracle worker. Despite my lack of natural ability he some how managed to get me standing up on the first day and I now properly have the bug...... More
