Would you like to surf many waves and have fun?! Well, there's waves for all levels, so it doesn't matter if you've never done it before, it's all about fun and trying something new with a local surfer to the local surf spots!
These beautiful wide range of beaches are located on the north shore of the bay. Waves are long and smooth on the surf spots we regularly go, great to catch plenty of waves even if you have never done it before.
My name is Joaquin, local surfer from Puerto Vallarta and surroundings. Im 31 and I've been surfing since I was a kid, I love it! I also love where Im from, it has many different waves and options for all of us surfers.
I've been lucky to surf in the most incredible places like Indo, Europe, Costa Rica, Peru, Maui, Australia, Morocco and more!
l been teaching for more than 15 years and I love to share my experience, passion and knowledge with people, and to meet new people everytime!

5.00Surfing with Joaquin and his crew was a great experience for our group! We had a group of 8 that was comprised of 4 adults and 4 teenagers. Everyone was standing on their surfboard after a few attempts. The teenagers had an easier time and lasted longer than the adults (of course!) but overall it was a fun experience for everyone! We arrived on a cruise and met Joaquin and another driver near the port. They were able to drop us off in Puerto Vallarta for lunch after the surf session. For our group of 8, we had 3 instructors in the water with us and Joaquin was taking video and pictures. Highly recommend!

5.00I did a few activities like ATV, ziplining, shows, etc but my first surfing experience with Joaquin and Emi were the most memorable! They picked me up in a comfy ride, gave me great instruction, and got me started riding the waves very quickly. Joaquin and Emi can both read the waves very well and have an eagle's eye for adjustments to make. I highly recommend this lesson.
100% Worth It!

5.00We had such an amazing experience with this surfing class! It was for my husband and my daughter, and they both absolutely loved it. The instructor was incredibly patient, encouraging, and made them feel comfortable right from the start. Thanks to the great guidance, they were both able to stand up on the board, which was such a highlight! They had so much fun the entire time and couldn’t stop talking about it afterward. Highly recommend this class. 100% worth it!
Highly recommended

5.00I had an amazing surf lesson with Emi! I was honestly a bit scared at first because the waves were pretty big, but Emi really reassured me and made me feel safe the entire time. He was always nearby, making sure everything was okay and that nothing could go wrong. I also met his colleagues, Andrea and Joaquin, and they were both incredibly kind and welcoming. The whole experience was so much fun, and you can really tell they’re great at what they do. I learned a lot and felt supported the entire time. Highly recommend them, and I would definitely come back for another lesson with them again!
Comfortable and Fun

5.00I had an amazing experience surfing with Joaco! Everything was smooth from start to finish. After booking, he coordinated the pickup, and during the lesson he was patient and clear in his explanations which made learning to surf fun. I would definitely surf with him again and highly recommend his lessons.
