This surf school is a rip off. The 1 hour lessons end up being 35 minutes in the water. While the teachers are great, they were consistently late and the 1 hour lessons include walking to the beach and back. We were supposed to start at 3:30 and only got into the water at 3:50. Then at 4:20 the instructors said we needed to head back. Either have the boards on the beach ready for the students or add time to the lesson so you get an actual 1 hour lesson. Also we were about 12 students in the class and therefore didn’t get much attention from the teachers. Again great teachers, unfair business plan.

I’m giving two stars, mainly because the boards were fine, but the pricing was disappointing. After traveling along the coast and consistently paying around €10–15 for a two-hour longboard rental, I was shocked to see their rate was €35 for the same amount of time. When I asked why it was so expensive—especially since it would’ve cost €70 for me and my girlfriend—they told me prices are even higher on the French coast. Funny enough, I’m now in Biarritz and just paid €25 for a similar board. There are other rental shops nearby with much better prices. Honestly, charging this much makes little sense for the area. Shop around before committing.

We really enjoyed our first ever surf lesson! Adrian made sure we were safe and feeling good! 10/10 would recommend!

Had private beginner lessons for four days in a row for me, my wife and three daughters. Great instructors! We emailed a week in advance and everything worked out as planned. Then we asked for a change on the third day and staff went the extra mile and rescheduled internally to make an additional hour possible for us.

kind people and excellent facilities with lockers and warm showers. You can bring your own soap should you like that.

My kids went to the surf school for 2 weeks my self and my wife did one week of surfing. It is one of the oldest surfing schools in town. The team is awesome! We all enjoyed the training, the gear is good the facilities are really good and include vast skating stuff and are just some meters from the beach. When you book a surfing class you also get a 10% discount on everything in the boutique. We bought 2 surfboards there and one mind blowing skateboard for a very good price. It was the perfect experience I would recommend without hesitation.

Absolutely fabulous! I had 3 private lessons with Ivan and loved it 🤩 He was such a great instructor, very knowledgeable, patient and supportive! Even in bad weather with choppy conditions, he made sure I was always safe and helped me go through the big waves when I needed it! Thank you so much Ivan 🥰 The beach can get very busy and crowded but going in the morning seems best! They provided lockers with keys, bathrooms and showers and responded quickly over WhatsApp when I had questions. Definitely recommend 🤗

I’ve hired a surfboard at Pukas today. The material was good, but to be fair a bit pricy compared to other surf shops in San Sebastián. The staff was very unwelcoming and not helpful. It’s so easy to just be kind to people…
