Description
It all started in 2015 with just an umbrella and 4 surfboards on Sayulita's main beach.
We have grown a lot over the years. Today we traded the umbrella for a tent and we opened our very own shop.
We provide tailored lessons for both beginners and intermediate surfers in Sayulita, but we also offer exclusive lessons and surf trips in the laid-back breaks of Punta de Mita.
But our offerings go beyond just surfing: from board rentals to sunset bonfires, It's not just about catching waves; we're genuinely curious about your story and are passionate about building a connection that goes beyond the surfboard.
Types of help and learning opportunities
General Maintenance
Help with Computers/ Internet
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Hang out in our shared rustic Palapa, it's just you and one more person!
We'll teach you how to surf or help you level up your skills. Use our surfboards whenever you feel like catching some waves on your own. Plus, if you're in for it, hop on with us for surf trips (depending on availability).
But that's not all! Get ready for a dose of Mexican culture. We'll show you around different spots and beaches along the Riviera Nayarit. And of course, you can't miss out on soaking up the awesomeness of Sayulita – it's a pretty cool town.
