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.

EXCELLENT Based on 213 reviews Alex Karic2025-08-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been surfing for a couple years but never had any feedback or coaching from a teacher. I appreciated Pepe's quick responses to my questions and he set me up with one of his teachers, Emmy. Emmy was also super responsive, very friendly, and accommodating to my requests. Logistics were easy and the surf was good. Even though the conditions weren't the best, Emmy made every attempt to put me in the best positions and catch videos of me and give me feedback after each wave. I definitely think this was a high value experience and I would recommend to anyone. Abraham Luna2025-08-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A great experience with this group of people. Extremely patient with new learners and helpful for those you haven't surfed daily in years. They helped tweak my bad habits and getting my stoke to surf back. I got to see my wife ride the waves for the first time. We recommend the lessons for anyone. Tse Lynn Tang2025-08-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a fantastic surf lesson with Pepe in Puerto Vallarta! I contacted him less than a week before our cruise stop, and they were super responsive on WhatsApp, which made everything easy to set up. For our group (2 kids and 1 adult), they brought two coaches total, so we had plenty of attention and support. The coaches were incredibly patient and encouraging. Everyone was able to catch waves soon into the lesson, and even when one of my kids got salt water in their eyes and felt reluctant, the coach helped them get back out there with goggles. After that, they rode waves all the way to shore and were so proud! By the end, both kids were asking when they could do more surf lessons. As a bonus, they also captured amazing GoPro videos of us surfing — such a great memory to bring home. This was truly a highlight of our trip, and I’d recommend them 100% if you’re in Vallarta.

Super fun loving dudes, excellent instructors who care about getting you up on the waves as much as possible! Highly recommend Puerto Vallarta Surfing for anyone looking to learn how to surf! 🏄🏼‍♀️🤙🏼 Charis Farbin2025-08-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was an incredible first experience surfing with Pepe! My boyfriend and I had so much success in the ocean with Pepe and Rubén’s guidance. I would absolutely recommend Puerto Vallarta Surfing to anyone who wants to try surfing for the first or second or tenth time. Becca M2025-08-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pepe was awesome! He communicated well about setting up the surf trip and on the day of, took me to an awesome spot. I would definitely book with him again! Halle Durham2025-08-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such good lessons! Me and my husband both are very beginner and had only been surfing once on our own, and we learned very quickly with Pepe and his friend! They were amazing teachers. They also took videos for us to keep:) They were so prepared with everything ready when we got there and with snacks to keep us energized. Overall an AMAZING experience. They also spoke very good english! Tahnee G. Reyes2025-08-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. PV Surfing made my trip. I surfed with Pepe and Ramses for 3 days in a row. Their observation and tips helped me tighten up my technique immediately and by the third day I was able to catch and ride more challenging waves longer and with more confidence. I learned more about how to read swells and what to look for in a good set to optimize my ride, how to be efficient with my energy and safe in different types of breaks. I appreciate all the great photo and film footage of me catching (and nailing haha) waves- for memories and for seeing what I need to work on. You can tell Pepe and Ramses love what they do and love sharing their knowledge. They’re also just rad high frequency dudes! Highly recommend! Paula Ortega2025-08-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such an amazing surf experience that we kept coming back for more! Every session was so much fun, and we always felt completely safe with Pepe and his fantastic team. A special shout-out to Ruben for guiding us through the waves with patience and skill!
