On our family trip to Tofino we wanted to try out the surfing at Swell Paddle and Surf. The instructors and staff went above and beyond with the surf lesson for the day. The kids had a blast and were given attention and care to make this trip very memorable and fun! We will certainly book again! 5 stars all around.

Emre set us up. Great lesson. Great boards and wetsuits. Can’t recommend more. Thanks Swell.
What a team! When we arrived they were ready and had suits for all of us ready to go. They greeted us with energy and shared excitement for what we were about to do. There were five of us 9 yr old, 12 yr old, 14 yr old and two adults. All of us had different levels of experience with the equipment and the kids were anxious and excited mixed together making them a little standoff-ish when we were putting on our suits. We all got our gear tried on then headed over to Cox Bay. The waves were pumping!! Fillipe lead us through a beach discussion on how the surf zone works and the safety precautions. Then he taught us about technique. These talks can often be boring and make people confused, Fillipe made it interesting, he was full of passion and joked around as he gave each person individual little tips to help them be successful. By the time we hit the water we knew exactly what to do, we also knew how to keep ourselves and the group safe. We all had some level of success and Fillipe made sure he gave each of us individual feedback that would increase our chances of success. He made sure the kids were safe so my wife and I could give it a good shot. We had so much fun! The atmosphere was so positive and the kids left smiling and tired. It was no small task to manage a group with all sorts of different skill levels. They did it!!! We can’t wait for out next family trip to tofino so we can book with them again! If I could give them 10 stars I would, I work in the recreation industry, I am a teacher so I can be critical but honestly they nailed it - well done Swell!!!
My 14 year old daughter and I recently attended the annual SUP Symposium in Tofino hosted by Swell and South Island SUP. The staff at Swell and South Island SUP are remarkable! The instruction is top notch, with safety always first and foremost. The team was very accommodating when my daughter wanted to switch from SUP surfing to regular surfing and their encouragement led her to having the best weekend! All I've heard since is how excited she is to go back. (I had the best time too!) I cannot say enough good things about the team at Swell! :)
We took the Meares Island tour with Terrell and Janessa. It was an amazing experience! We felt really connected to the land, the ocean, and to the stories of our guides.
