About
We´ll give you a surf lesson old school style. We grab our boards and drive you north from Puerto Vallarta toward Punta Mita, and just 5 minutes before heading there we´ll park on the side´s road, unload boards and walk on an easy path through the tropical forest for about 1 km (10 min) to discover the easiest breakpoint to have a lesson. After taking an introduction on the shore you´ll be ready to get one of the most amazing experiences of your life, riding a wave on a surfboard. Your local surf guide will keep giving you all the details you need to know to practice this amazing sport where you´re connected to the nature. Getting done with the lesson we´ll go to have cool drinks, snacks or meals (not included) at Surf Bar, where you can get relax and chill out.
