Overview

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.

What's included

  • Surfboard, leash and rashguard
  • Transportation from the meeting point (surf school) to the beach and back.
  • Please bring your reusable bottle with enough water to stay hydrated for the class.
