"Very good and direct surfing lessons with great service! Service includes; tuktuk service from hotel and all the equipment is included even we got some zinc to put on our face! Times are flexible, you can choose when you want to go. TIP go and do your surfing lesson in the early morning, since at that time its not so crowded on the beach with other surfers."

"I can't express how incredible my first surf experience was with Ansa! As a complete beginner, I was a bit nervous, but Ansa expertise and teaching style put me at ease right away. His knowledge of surfing and the ocean is truly impressive! The thrill and adrenaline rush I felt catching my first wave is something I'll cherish forever🏄🏼‍♀️ I highly recommend Ansa and his team to anyone looking for a fantastic surf experience. Without a doubt, a solid 5/5 stars for Star rest surf camp- an experience that exceeded all my expectations!"
