  Such an incredible experience! I went with a group of four, all with different levels of experience, and this was my first time surfing. The instructor explained everything, from wave types to how to catch and maneuver on a wave, in a way that made it all finally click. I was able to stand up on multiple waves and left feeling so excited and confident to get back out there again. I would highly recommend this place to anyone I know.

• Amazing surf lesson and experience, must book!

  Such an amazing experience with Emilian today. This was only my second time surfing and he went above and beyond with breaking things down, explaining how to read the waves, how to stand and balance on our boards and it just made the experience so enjoyable - I felt like o could surf by the end of our lesson. Emilian had such good energy and it just really made our trip. If you’re looking to learn how to surf you have to book these guys.

• More Than a Lesson, Real Progress and a Great Experience

  My boys had an outstanding experience with Emilian. From the start, he was very responsive and easy to communicate with, which made planning everything simple. One of the biggest advantages was that he isn’t tied to a single beach. He helped us choose the right break and time of day based on actual conditions, which made a big difference. The lessons went well beyond just getting the kids standing up. He focused on helping them understand the ocean, how waves break, how to read conditions, and where to position themselves. It was a great mix of theory and time in the water, and he struck the right balance based on their level and what they wanted out of it. We did two sessions at different beaches, which added to the experience. In between, he stayed engaged and shared guidance on surf spots and timing, helping us understand what to look for, not just where to go. Most importantly, the results were there. Both boys got up and rode a ton of waves, had an absolute blast, and came away much more confident and independent in how to approach surfing. They both specifically mentioned how much they liked Emilian and his teaching style. If you’re looking for someone who builds real understanding while keeping it fun, Emilian is a great choice.

  It was an incredible experience. They picked a great location that was optimal for us as first timers. He explained the science and art of surfing very well. The instructor was patient and kind all the way through. It's because of the great experience that my kids are excited too try surfing again!

• Came Back for a Second Year—Even Better Than the First!

  We had such a great experience with our surf lessons that we came back again this year—and it did not disappoint. Last year we took lessons with Emilian and had such a fun, positive experience that rebooking was an easy decision. Our kids (13 and 10-year-old twins) did a 2-hour lesson, and the progress they made was incredible. By the end of the first hour, all of them were already catching waves and surfing on the shoulder—such a big improvement from last year! Emilian was patient, encouraging, and fantastic with kids, making the whole experience both fun and confidence-building. We’ll definitely be back again and highly recommend these lessons to anyone looking for a great surf experience.

  If you truly want to learn how to surf then book this experience ASAP. I thought I was going to simply jump on the board and have instructions yelled at me. Instead my instructor was extremely knowledgeable and could articulate himself in a manner that was easy to digest ALLLL the information he was downloading into my brain. I will definitely book another lesson when I visit again !

• Awesome trainer that teaches you about the waves

  Emilian really cares about the waves and the impact on the students, he drove over an hour to Corral Del Risco so we can hit some good waves and along the way, he thought us the basics of the waves and where you would want to be. It was my first time surfing and I was able to catch some waves. Took us to a local seafood restaurant afterwards and it was also very good. Definitely recommend if you really want to learn about surfing. Would book a private lesson next time I visit.

  Had such a great time with Emilian, Niko, and Pargo. They were great instructors. I’ve taken surf lessons before, but this was one of the best. On top of giving tips on how to position the board and our stance, they also gave us really helpful instruction on what to look for in the waves. I was able to catch multiple waves, some with their help and some on my own! Highly recommend if you’re thinking of surfing while in the Puerto Vallarta/Sayulita area. I don’t know if they can do this for every group, but we were all hungry at the end of class so we all took a trip to a nearby place for some amazing seafood before heading back to where we were staying. Nothing but great things to say about this experience!
