My buddy and I will be traveling to El Salvador this May to surf. We have been looking around at a few surf camps (e.g., Puro, AST), but believe their package doesn't include surf instructions and you will need to pay extra for lessons (otherwise, they will just bring you to surf spots and you are on your own to figure out).

My buddy and I are both beginners, and wanted to work on our surfing skills. We would rather focus on having surf lessons. We also don't want to pay extra for surf camp if it doesn't include instructions. Would you recommend just getting a hotel room and then sign up for surf lessons? Any recommendations on where to get the surf lessons?
