We thoroughly enjoyed our day of kayaking and surfing with Goa Surf Center. Wilson coach was knowledgeable, helpful, interesting, and friendly. I highly recommend this surf school. True professionals.
Did this one day before leaving Goa, and it was the best decision and gave us the best experience. A trip full of exciting new things got the best ending it could get. Everyone visiting Goa has to do this,I’m going to make sure I’m doing this again every time I’m in Goa.
I took 3 days lessons from Vincent, he is a good instructor. He understands waves and reads them well. Good at how to do things with surfboard. I would highly recommend Goa surf school for learning how to catch the waves
Hi it was really great experience with all trainers, Vincent and Joe are really good , myself and kids literally enjoy five days . Again we r planning soon .
‘Wonderful surfing classes for beginners! It’s so fun and at the same time a little bit challenging but I loved every minute of it thanks to the supportive coaches. I must say, you can completely rely on them to teach you all the basics you need to know. All you need to do is do your best and enjoy the classes. This is the second time I tried the classes, the first time was a few years back. I loved it so much then that I returned. And this time I decided to opt for more classes because one never seems enough. Joe, my coach, was very encouraging and helpful. I might even extend my classes if my body allows.
I highly recommend Goa surf school since it helped me try out something I’ve always wanted to do since I was a kid and I’m sure the classes will be fun for anyone who tries.’
Goa is not just a party and club place, it has a lot more to offer, Goa surfing school is one of them. Vovan and Gesso Gorge are professional coaches to start surfing with.
Above all I am carrying beautiful memories and friends on this solo trip. Surfing was to unlock new skill on this trip but now i understand the sea better than ever. Totally worth it!!
Big shoutout to Alex, he is a talented freelance videographer who can shoot your surfing movements.
I was at Arambol beach last week, when I discovered Kayaking happening there. I approached Vincent to understand if a newbie can try hands on. He guided us really well, helped try the kayak on shore before sending in water. This is a must try experience if you are adventure lover. Thanks Vincent for your fun way of teaching and helping me add another adventure to my list.
