Description
We are a family owned small surf school based in Sayulita. 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 have our very own shop and focus on beginner/intermediate surf lessons in sayulita and awesome surf trips to La Lancha beach. It’s a great way to meet likeminded people. It’s our passion to connect and bring people together!
But we offer more than just surfing! We do trips to waterfalls, snorkeling, bonfires and more.
Types of help and learning opportunities
General Maintenance
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.
