Fantastic experience. Gaston the instructor was awesome

Great experience, Gaston was a very helpful instructor with great tips to get me up and riding waves. I rented a board after and he let me join the other class for free.my wife came along to watch and they let her borrow an umbrella to keep her shaded while I took the class. They were nice enough to let us use the umbrella while I rented the board for four hours and bring it back. I have taken another lesson when I was in Florida and this Was a much better experience. Would 100% recommend and do it again!

Operator response

Thanks for the review, Lee. Glad you had a solid surf lesson with Gaston—he’s focused on getting you up and riding waves quickly. Good to hear the extra time in the water and flexibility helped, and we appreciate you noting the difference compared to your Florida lesson. Hope to see you again next time you’re in Cancun.

Surfing

The teaching was good and competent. Great that we were only two participants on the team. However, I was only out on the water for an hour and not the 1.5 hours, as stated. However, I did not learn to surf if the criterion is that I should be able to go out on my own and do it. But fun experience despite a bloody nose 😉

Great lesson

My niece (16 yo) had a surf lesson here. The tutor, Gaston, was great, and my niece was a natural. Perfect combination! The rest of us also enjoyed watching this great experience!

Operator response

Thanks for sharing. Glad your niece had a great surf lesson with Gaston—he’s really good at getting people up and riding early. Sounds like she found her balance right away. Great to hear it was a fun experience all around.

Fabian was awesome

Fabian was a fantastic instructor!!!! For one, I felt safe. He is a lifeguard and was giving safety advice to other tourists like where to watch for currents. Secondly, he is a professional surfer and really knows his stuff. BUT he was so humble and patient made instructions very easy to follow. Thirdly, he stared advancing my skills little by little to get me ready to catch waves myself. And lastly, he put me in the perfect waves to catch and I got up many more times than I have in the past. It was a blast!

Operator response

Thanks for the detailed review. Glad you had a great surf lesson with Fabian—he takes safety seriously and keeps things clear and easy to follow while building your skills step by step. Good to hear you were getting up more consistently and catching solid waves. That’s exactly how a session should run. Hope to see you back out in Cancun.

1.0 stars - A truly miserable and unsafe experience.

My "beginner's lesson" was a complete joke. There were at least 15 people in my group with only two instructors. We spent a rushed 5 minutes on the sand learning to pop up, then were immediately herded into rough, crowded water. The instructors paid almost no individual attention. I was left struggling with my heavy, worn-out board, swallowed what felt like half the ocean, and received zero helpful correction. The entire "lesson" felt like a dangerous, unsupervised free-for-all. The only priority was clearly to cycle through as many tourists as possible. The equipment was battered and the leash was frayed. I came out of the water feeling frustrated, exhausted, and completely ripped off. Do not waste your money or risk your safety here. This isn't a surf school; it's a negligent assembly line.

Operator response

This review does not reflect a lesson run by 360 Surf School Cancun. We would never place 15 students with 2 instructors, as that would not meet our operating standards or safety expectations. Our group lessons are capped at 6 people, and we have been teaching for over 25 years with a strong focus on structure, supervision, and client care. We do not run overcrowded lessons or high-volume sessions, and the details described here are inconsistent with how our surf school operates. For that reason, we believe this review was posted on the wrong listing. Our long record of guest feedback reflects the level of attention and care we provide.

Excellent!

This lesson was excellent! I have never surfed before and I was really nervous. The guide teaches you how to pop up before you go out on the water. The water was ideal for learning to surf! I highly recommend.

Operator response

Thanks for the review. Glad you had an excellent first surf lesson and felt comfortable getting started—those land drills make a big difference once you’re in the water. Cancun offers ideal learning conditions with warm water and consistent, manageable waves, which helps build confidence quickly. Appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you back out again.
