Pick-up times are assigned based on the location of your hotel or place of accommodation. Pick-ups start approximately one and a half hours before the scheduled activity time.
We use foam boards for our surf lessons. If you prefer a fiberglass surfboard please be sure to request this in advance at the time of booking.
The activity lasts 6:30 hours including round-trip transportation.
We have two seasons for surf lessons, in the summer from March 15 to November 15, surf lessons are available on the Costa Azul. In winter from November 15 to March 15, we offer surf lessons at Cerritos beach During the winter there are no waves on the Costa Azul beach, which is why the change is made to Cerritos beach.
To join the lesson as an observer you have to book a non-surfer/companion spot on our transport. The non-surfer/companion fee includes round trip transportation, shaded camp (umbrellas and chairs), bottled water and snacks. You’ll be able to enjoy the beach at our camp while observing the surf lesson. To book, simply select “observer (non-surfer)”.
No prior experience is required! Our classes are designed for all experience levels, from beginners (we teach you enough to catch a wave) to experts (we offer coaching), always ensuring a great experience at each level as needed.
Our activities take place on the beach, where there are no locker facilities. However, you can safely leave your personal belongings in the transportation.
Lunch is included. We’ll take you to a local restaurant, offering 100% Mexican dishes such as fish tacos, chicken, beef, salsa, guacamole, tortilla chips, and refreshing flavored water. We also have a vegetarian option with salads, quesadillas, beans, rice, etc. Lunch is included but optional, so there is no discount offered on the activity if you choose not to go for lunch.
As we know the weather is a factor that can lead us to modify our day, sometimes we will have to change location, reschedule and / or cancel (the refund will be issued 100% in case of cancellation by us). You will be informed of the options and you will make the decision. Factors that could influence this are rain, high swell, wind and jellyfish.
Your safety is our priority. When the conditions are not favorable, due to wind, high waves, or a tropical storm, we offer to change the day of your reservation or make a refund.
For a full refund, you must cancel at least 48 hours in advance of the start date of the experience. No show or last minute cancellation will be charged in full. This experience requires good weather. If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
All transfers are complementary and optional, therefore the price doesn’t change if you don’t use the transfer option.
Cancellation Policy
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

5.00I had such an amazing experience with this surfing class! My instructor, Momo (Lois), is awesome — super patient, encouraging, and really knows how to break things down so you can actually feel your progress. She made the whole learning process fun and stress-free. Whether you’re a total beginner or just need to brush up on your skills, I highly recommend taking lessons with Momo!

5.00I had the pleasure of having Marco as my surf instructor. I was very lucky to have the entire time 1:1 with him as there was nobody else in the group today! Marco is a super cool down to earth dude that's funny and easy to talk to as well as a fantastic teacher. This was my first time surfing ever so I had no idea what to expect but I was up and riding waves in no time. Marco spent the time in the water with me helping me get positioned to catch the right waves and made sure I had correct positioning on the board. He had the perfect gauge of what I could handle and as he saw I was getting more comfortable we would go deeper to catch some bigger waves. Little by little he helped me less until it was just giving me audible queues on when to paddle and stand up. I felt very good and accomplished at the end of the lesson. We went to Cerritos today but on the way back we stopped at Costa Azul beach since I'm staying right down the road from there. He showed me around for future surf sessions and then offered to take me out there to catch a few waves and see how it was, and of course I accepted! It was a very nice gesture which he didn't have to do at all but I'm very glad he did. I would recommend Marco to anyone! Next time I'm back in Cabo if I need a refresher lesson I will be requesting him!
Breathtakingly perfect experience

5.00We will absolutely book this surfing experience the next time we’re in Cabo. We were picked up on time in a clean van with AC, and the instructors’ infectious enthusiasm was immediately clear. The beach they took us to was gorgeous- the sand sparkles with mica or something similar, and my parents (who were there to observe) enjoyed it as much as we did. More impressively? They taught both my 9 year old son and I to surf, and he fell in love with the sport. I am 44, not a great swimmer, and definitely not an athlete. Getting up on a board was a triumph! Amazing teachers, great equipment, comfy chairs and umbrellas for observers, and a gorgeous beach. Worth every penny.
Amazing surf lesson, coach, and food. Highly recommend!
