— Questions —

Good to know.

I've never surfed. Can I come?

Yes. We'll teach you the right way from the beginning. It's a process: you start in the whitewater, focusing on handling the board, standing up and catching waves, and you build gradually from there.

Can I book just one lesson?

Yes, if you're new to surfing. A beginner lesson is $120 + 13% tax, in the whitewater with a senior coach, no video. Two sharing a coach: $100 each. Three: $90 each.

Do I need to sign anything?

Yes. For safety, everyone signs a waiver before they start.

What should I bring?

A long-sleeve rash guard, a hat if you're sensitive to the sun, sunscreen for your face, and water. We provide the board.

How long is a session?

60 to 90 minutes, depending on the conditions and each person's endurance.

Where do we meet?

Playa Guiones. Oscar confirms the exact location by WhatsApp, and timing depends on the tide.

Do you teach in English and Spanish?

Yes, both.
