I love the boarding house I stayed there last year and again this year. It is in a great location with beautiful views of the ocean. The roof top was a perfect place for me to watch the sunset read a book and just relax. Close to some of my favorite Rincon restaurants and the owner is one of the... More

Leo the surf instructor we had was the best...he had my kids surfing in less than 2 hours and me at least standing on the board for more than a few seconds, it sucks... More

My father and I went out for a day for our first try at surfing and we're standing up by the end of the day. Our instructors handled the group of us beautifully. Upping the challenge a bit for those that were learning more quickly and encouraging the others along patiently. What an awesome experience. Well done, guys! Just wish... 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
