  • One of the most fun and enjoyable experiences I've had in a long time. We were given a quick, "how to stand up" lesson before setting us loose in the water. Our guides were helpful, attentive, and...  more »
  • Was lucky to have the previous school I used not be able to take me out surfing again. The people and facility at this surf school was so great! Wish I had found them sooner and I could have got a...  more »

  • If you are looking to learn to surf in the area near Coronado, there is no better place. Really fun and great people.
  • Panama Surf School is fantastic! They teach you surfing through a positive and encouraging approach, which transcends to all levels, ages, and abilities. I highly recommend this school both for lessons as well as for renting boards and gear to get you out on the water. Their team of instructors are great at seeing what you want to get out of surfing and taking the lesson to the level needed to get you there. My family of 5 loved it! Thank you Panama Surf!
  • We had a blast here. We didn't have reservations, but they were very accommodating. We ended up coming here 3 out of 4 days that we were in the area. We did lessons for the whole family day 1, rented boards day 2, and did lessons again for the kids day 3 (they were fine on their own but loved the confidence of having the instructor there).
  • Best surf for kids! Awesome instructors, ask for Alex the lion from Madagascar !
  • Panama Surf School is excellent! My wife and I travelled to Panama recently and I have been a surfer for years and wanted to surf in Panama. I contacted Flor at Panama Surf School and she was great! I arranged for my wife and I to be picked right up at our hotel and even though my wife didn't plan on surfing, the instructor and I got her in the water and she actually learned how to surf! The instructor was super patient and a cool guy and he did something I've tried for years... taught my wife how to surf. :) Flor also took us on a tour of El Valle Anton which was also awesome. You can't go wrong with these guys. Stoked!
