“We drove to a private beach and as I wasn’t a beginner at all Lorenzo showed me some tricks how to advance my surf. It worked out great and I learned so much that in the end of the day I’d recommend Gnarly Tours to everyone!
But it wasn’t all about the lesson itself. Lorenzo is a funny guy and a good instructor. I had an awesome time and a lot of fun that day.”

Never surfed before and these guys were great. It was a small group so you got a lot of help and I sucked but the guys were super supportive. Loved that you got a go pro on the front of your board and the pictures were included. Now I have proof I stood up… even if it was just for a nano second. I tired out sooner than others and one of the guys took me on a walk to see some wild wallabies and grab a fresh coconut for us all to munch on. Would highly recommend and would definitely do again
