Great instructor but scammy owner The place is modest but sufficient Famara is great surfing spot available for surfing throughout the whole year At first I have to say that our instructor was Ophelia - she is great instructor, her guidance and advices were very insightful. Simply we enjoyed the course with her so much.
It was great up until a time when Pachi (school owner) came back from his holiday. We have ordered 3 days 5-hour group course through their website (https://yokomosurf.com/producto/3-clases-grupo-15-horas/). At the time of the booking there was discount for online in-advance booking. Out total for 2 persons for 3-day course was 264,46€ (as stated in booking confirmation email). We paid a 25% deposit by card and the rest was to be paid after the course. We have forwarded the confirmation email to Pachi to let him know that we are coming and he assured us that everything is alright.
After we finished the course we paid remaining amount to our surf instructor. The next day Pachi came to tell us we need to pay more because the price is 320€ and there was no discount whatsoever (in the meantime the discount was already removed from the website). We showed him the confirmation email as this was the agreed-on price but he didn’t want to discuss about this at all and started behaving aggressively. He got panic attack, started crying and nervously moving things around the room. While crying he was psychologically blackmailing us telling us that due to us not paying him more he might not be able to pay a wage to our surf instructor. He was obviously not in control - he looked like he is high from weed at the moment.
As we were also staying at his Airbnb for the next days we were afraid what could happen next. We tried to calm him down and told him we are going to pay the difference even though we think it’s not fair as the deal was the price we’ve already paid (we have email confirmation as evidence).
I don’t know whether he is trying to pull money out of people on purpose or he is only such a bad businessman and unfair person but I wanted to warn everyone to prevent them from such an unpleasant experience. Please consider this before booking surfing lessons in this school as there are many other schools in Famara to choose from.
