Why choose Puerto Vallarta Surfing

LEARN FROM A PRO SURFER
My experience as professional surfer and the personalized feedback I provide after each wave you ride accelerates the learning and improvement process

TOP QUALITY
I choose the surf break that best fits your surfing ability and the swell. I send you on waves that I myself would want to ride which ensures that you have a high-quality surfing experience.

SAFETY IS #1
Your safety is my top priority. I provide guidance on ocean safety, how to communicate in the water, how to properly handle the surfboard and equipment, and how to navigate your way through the surf break.

15+ YEARS SURF INSTRUCTION
I have been teaching and coaching surf guests since 2010. Over time I have built up time-tested techniques so you develop specific skills and increased confidence to continue your surfing journey.

Gutso2025-07-23Perfect family experience! We had a marvelous day with Pepe and his boys, learning to surf like it’s nothing. Our kids and we are so happy, we already asked for the next time! Highly highly recommended 🏄♂️🤙Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Finn Whetstone2025-07-21Had an amazing experience with Puerto Vallarta Surfing! Pepe and Rueben were amazing teachers. They really focused on teaching us the proper technique and developing good habits. They were awesome coaches who helped correct my form in the water and I feel like I progressed a lot in just one session. I felt like the experience was perfectly catered to my ability/skill level and would love to take another lesson here next time I’m in Puerto Vallarta!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Scott Bartlett2025-07-12⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hands down one of the best experiences we’ve had in Puerto Vallarta! From the moment we arrived, the team was professional, passionate, and incredibly welcoming. We signed up for a lesson with my son—even though I’ve surfed before—and I’m so glad I did. It turned into a powerful moment of learning, bonding, and fun. The instructors lead with kindness, patience, and serious skill. You’re not just learning to surf—you’re learning from people who genuinely love what they do. They made safety a priority while still keeping the vibe relaxed and full of good energy. Whether you’re a total beginner or have some experience, you’ll walk away with new skills, big laughs, and lifelong memories. We left sun-kissed, salty, and smiling. Highly recommend to anyone visiting PV—don’t miss out! ScottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Stephanie Ramos (Sparrow)2025-07-11Super fun! Beginner friendly I was able to ride a couple waves as a first-timer. They are very passionate about what they do.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Brett Moses2025-07-08I spent two incredible days with Pepe, and it was truly an amazing experience that reawakened the dormant surfer I knew was still there somewhere. Pepe’s detailed instructions and encouragement made all the difference. I found myself paddling out into waves I only thought I could dream of. His passion for surfing and dedication to teaching are truly inspiring. I had a sincere great time and left feeling more confident and excited about riding waves again. I’m back. I Highly recommend Pepe to anyone in Puerto Vallarta or the surrounding areas looking to improve their skills and enjoy the ocean to the fullest…with a real pro!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Jeannine Heng2025-07-04My husband and 2 boys (6,9) had so much fun that they want to do it again. Pepe and the other instructor were super patient as they taught my kids how to ride the waves. It was great not having to worry about the boards, equipments and have no second thoughts who to look for if we were to go surfing again.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Adrián Fernández Vélez2025-07-01¡Pepe es un gran instructor! Y con mucho conocimiento. Te instruye sobre la posición básica sobre la tabla antes de entrar al mar y te da tips sobre la marcha para que tomes más y mejores olas. Dentro del mar nos ayudó también Rubén, por lo que hubo alguien ayudándonos a tomar las olas y alguien del lado de la playa para recibirnos. Muy buena experiencia.
