Wonderful
Had a wonderful experience surfing as a beginner. Luis was a motivating instructor and taught me how to enjoy the surf ride in the wave. He was an excellent communicator and took the time to make the 1:1 coaching happen for me even though he’s usually off on Sundays (as this was the only day I could make it). He also recommended a great local spot where I could grab a bite after the lesson.

The best surf trip!
Luis is a great teacher, teaching you not just wave riding skills, but also helping you think about breathing and entering the surfing mindset.

He was patient, gracious and attentive to my energy level. You will be in good hands with him. Can't wait to practice more and then come back for more instructions.

He is also very upfront about effort needed to get to and from beaches, if doing something other than Sayulita's main beach.

If you want to learn to surf in Sayulita, Luis is a fantastic person to help you do that. And he's the kind of person who picks up random beach trash because he loves the environment.

Incredible experience!
Luis was punctual, warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. He taught our family of 4 (ranging from 6-46 years old) the basics and got all of us to ride some waves!! We enjoyed it so much that we booked an additional private less for our 9 year old son to practice more. Highly recommend, do not hesitate!

Hooray, Luis!
Luis knows surfing, he knows the ocean, and he understands people. I took one group class with him and one one-on-one class, and he always said just the right thing to help teach me about the ways of the ocean and the ways of the surfboard and my relationship with both. I was a first-timer, and he was patient with all of my mistakes and also enthusiastic about my wins. I could not have asked for a better experience, and if I bring friends and family here next time, I will sign them up with Luis if they want to try surfing too!

The best!
Luis knows what he's doing, he is friendly, trustworthy and patient. Coaching is very important in surfing. You need someone that can point out what you are doing wrong to help you improve. Luis is the guy!

Great coach!
Luis was a very patient, attentive surf instructor for a beginner student (myself). He's clearly an experienced and passionate surfer and has a lot of helpful tips and a wealth of knowledge to share. In comparison to other surf instructors in Sayulita I believe he's more attentive and tuned into your needs than the others. Highly recommended!

Detailed and patient instruction
My daughter and I had the pleasure of having a surfing lesson with Luis last week. In the past, I had surfing lessons in San Diego, our lesson with Luis surpassed the San Diego experience by far. Luis gave us such detailed instruction that at 51 years old I was able to get up multiple times. My daughter was also successful. Without his patience this would not have happened. He has a very nice demeanor and was easy to laugh with. We will seek out Luis if we return next year. I highly recommend Luis.

Huge Success - my son caught 10 waives!
This was the second time my 12-year old son took surfing lessons. Right away Luis brought comfort, ease and confidence to the experience. Along with his 18-year old friend - the two had a wonderful time. It was peaks holiday season and the beach was CROWDED, but Luis helped the kids with a hands on approach and they navigated it just fine. The smile on my sons face as he rode a waive in and then went right back out. I cannot recommend Luis enough.
