What makes this experience special is the combination of personalized coaching, local knowledge, and a relaxed environment designed for beginner surfers.

Unlike crowded surf lessons, our sessions maintain small instructor ratios, allowing for individual guidance, clear feedback, and a more comfortable learning experience in the water.

Our local instructors combine surf coaching with ocean awareness, safety fundamentals, and beginner-friendly techniques to help you build confidence from your first waves.

Each lesson takes place at the best beginner-friendly surf spot for the day (usually Carrizalillo, La Punta, or another beach selected based on wave and safety conditions).

More than a surf lesson, this is an authentic Puerto Escondido surf experience focused on progression, ocean connection, and enjoying the process of learning to surf.

Included

Surfboard, leash and rashguard
Transportation from the meeting point (surf school) to the beach and back.

Not included

Please bring your reusable bottle with enough water to stay hydrated for the class.
