The family
Founded by a champion, run by his daughter
The About page names Kalisol “Kali” Ramos as owner and instructor and says the school was founded by her late father, Brian Ramos, winner of the Puerto Rico National Surfing Championships in 2008, with friends Dalberto Arce and Percy Rier. Brian died in 2020. Reviewers also name an instructor, April.
The founding year is not published, though reviews go back past 2015. Of 775 reviews, we found a single one-star review, from early 2020, and no pattern of complaints.
“Originally founded by my late father, Brian Ramos.”
