About this experience
What sets my surf lessons apart is the combination of local knowledge, personalized instruction, and a strong focus on safety—without forgetting to have fun. Having grown up surfing in Mazatlán, I understand the ocean conditions and adapt each lesson to the guest’s experience level and comfort. I work one-on-one to create a relaxed, encouraging environment where beginners feel supported, enjoy the learning process, and leave the water smiling after catching their first waves
