Pepe made sure we scored today! I surf most days back home but know nothing about the spots in Puerta Vallarta so I chose to hire PV Surfing to guide me to find the best waves since there was supposed to be decent swell today.
Pepe obviously knew all the spots. We checked a couple that were walled and the 3rd spot we checked had some super clean rights with only a few guys out. We surfed until I was exhausted, probably caught 20+ waves, some pushing well overhead. One of the best days surfing I’ve had in awhile.
Even if you’re an experienced surfer, you will catch way more waves going out with a guide. None of the spots we checked were on Surfline. Avoid the crowds and catch more waves by hiring a local.
Thank you Pepe!!

Such a positive experience with Pepe (Jose Figueroa) from the very first email I had with him months in advance of my coming down to Puerto Vallarta, to him assisting me with a ride from the Airport (no, he is not a taxi service, he provides much more), He totally hooked me up to a couple of really great surf spots and was on time every morning early! When in the water, he is a positive vibe and doesn’t judge and is very encouraging. (made sure I got waves) And was a cool hang with for my entire week while I was there 08/21/2022. Took me to spots that were breaking. I encourage everyone who is wanting to learn surfing or for experienced surfers who want to have a guide to get in touch with him on your trip to Puerto (Paradise) Vallarta! SHAKA!
