Description
All Catman Surf School lessons start on the sand with ocean awareness and safety. We’ll go over the basics on how to position yourself on the board, paddling, and how to pop up. Afterwards, we’ll transition to the surf, followed by your first go at small white water waves. Your safety always come first, and Sergio will be by your side every step of the way. Once in the water, he’ll show you how to read the waves, position your take off, and the etiquette of wave riding. His private lessons are built to make your adventure on the waves one to remember.

Great time learning to surf
I had such a blast with our surf lesson in Mexico—equal parts challenging and incredibly fun. From the moment I got to the beach, the vibe was relaxed and welcoming - the instructor was friendly and clearly knew their stuff.
That said, surfing is way harder than it looks. Paddling out alone was a workout, and getting the timing right with the waves took a lot of patience. I wiped out more times than I can count, but honestly, that was part of the fun. The instructor was super encouraging, breaking things down step by step and giving helpful tips without ever making it feel overwhelming.
After a few tries (and a lot of effort), I almost actually managed to ride a wave for a few seconds. It’s one of those experiences that pushes you but leaves you feeling proud afterward.
Overall, I’d highly recommend it if you’re in Mexico. Just be ready for a bit of a challenge—it’s physically demanding, but such a rewarding and unforgettable experience, learning skills that you can use anywhere in the world.

My teen/tween kids took this class. It was great! They were pushed to learn some skills. Something they can keep using on other trips! We went to a different coast and they were able to get up on the board.

Spiritual Surfing Experience
Sergio was patient, friendly and simple in his directions. We were grateful to have spent the time talking about life after we surfed. A true blessing. What an experience being in the presence of a beautiful beach, scenic wave break and we got to see a whale right off the shore. Highly recommended for any skill level.

Super fun morning catching waves!
My two boys aged 20 and 22 took a lesson with Sergio and had a wonderful time. They loved his stories about the competitions he has competed in and his easy, friendly way of coaching them. They had a great time catching waves on Costa Azul which is the perfect spot for beginning to intermediate surfers. They both loved the experience. We highly recommend this adventure!

Great teacher who teaches to your ability or lack of. I’ll go again.
Great teacher. Excellent experience. Serge is a great guy. He teaches to your skill level and makes it a fun instead of a humbling experience
