Why choose Puerto Vallarta Surfing

LEARN FROM A PRO SURFER

My experience as professional surfer and the personalized feedback I provide after each wave you ride accelerates the learning and improvement process

TOP QUALITY

I choose the surf break that best fits your surfing ability and the swell. I send you on waves that I myself would want to ride which ensures that you have a high-quality surfing experience.

SAFETY IS #1

Your safety is my top priority. I provide guidance on ocean safety, how to communicate in the water, how to properly handle the surfboard and equipment, and how to navigate your way through the surf break.

15+ YEARS SURF INSTRUCTION

I have been teaching and coaching surf guests since 2010. Over time I have built up time-tested techniques so you develop specific skills and increased confidence to continue your surfing journey.

Had two days of lessons. I was on the waves the first day and improving on the second. Pepe is a great instructor, patient, encouraging and a professional in all ways. I highly recommend him whether you are young or actively aging and seeking a fun day on the waves.

Pepe is an amazing and experienced surf instructor. It was my first time ever surfing and I really enjoyed it. He picked me up from my place and drove me to a nice beginner-friendly surf spot and after the class he drove me back to my place which was very helpful. I recommend Puerto Vallarta Surfing to everyone.

Took around 6 classes and I have to say that Pepe and Keera are the best. They’re professional, communicative, super encouraging and doesn’t compromise on safety. Felt like I improved more than I thought I would with Pepe. Can’t recommend him enough!

This is the 2nd time I've surfed with Pepe from Puerto Vallarta Surfing. Pepe knows his stuff and is an excellent teacher. We were a group of five people from 45-71 years old and mostly beginners. We loved working with him and his team. Would HIGHLY recommend!

I had an amazing time surfing in Puerto Vallarta, and I can’t say enough good things about Pepe and Kyra. From the moment we met, they were friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about surfing, the town, and the best local spots. Pepe's coaching was patient and clear, tailored to my skill level, and I felt myself improving each day. What really set this trip apart was their genuine care and teamwork. There was a situation related to the mafia after a lesson and Pepe and Kyra’s quick thinking and support help at every point. I felt taken care of the entire time. The waves were stunning, the camaraderie was top-notch, and the memories will last a lifetime. If you’re looking for a safe, exhilarating, and well-organized surf trip in Puerto Vallarta, I cannot recommend Pepe and Kyra enough. Five stars all around!

Pepe is the man. He puts in a-lot of effort and your experience will be comfortable. He cares and is just a genuinely good dude. I wouldn’t look elsewhere for lessons or coaching.
