Puerto Rico’s Beginner-Friendly Break

Isla Verde is a long sandy shoreline with warm water and consistent, predictable waves — the ideal place to learn, practice, and progress at your own pace. Since 2004, founder Chino Sue-A-Quan has led a team of watermen, lifeguards, and instructors with more than thirty years of combined experience at international surf events. We start on the sand with stance, balance, and the pop-up, then guide you into the water to catch your first wave. Small groups, patient coaching, ages six and up.
