My teenage son and husband recently did a 3 day clinic with Carlos of Mario's Surf School at Cerritos Beach. It was a fabulous experience for them and we'd highly recommend it to others interested in learning how to surf. Carlos is an excellent teacher, and Mario and the rest of his staff are extremely friendly. My daughter and I... More

Our teenage girls took a lesson from Mario's team and received one-on-one attention. They were standing-up and riding-in within minutes. They were out riding waves long after their lesson was over. I suspect this was a highlight of their trip! We plan to return for more lessons as soon as we can. The Cerritos Beach area is somewhat primitive but... More

Before meeting Mario, I'd taken surfing lessons on 2 different occasions while on vacation in Costa Rica and South Africa. It was always a real struggle to stand up, and I would spend more time being tossed around by the waves and drinking sea water than actually surfing. First day with Mario - I'm standing up and catching almost every... More

When planning my trip to Cerritos Beach for a bunch of college buddies, my friend that owns a resort there recommended Mario Surf School for VIP transportation and surfing lessons/board rentals. Mario's drivers are great, the Suburban was plush, and the van is brand new. They drove us all around Southern Baja and waited patiently for us to finish dong... More

Mario and his team have gotten rave reviews in all sorts of places -- from Trip Advisor to the New York Times and beyond. And the reviews are right. They are fantastic instructors. I took a group lesson with four other female friends, and all of us had a wonderful time. It was my third lesson and these instructors were... More

We got good basic instruction, nice boards, and the instructors were very patient with rank beginners!

My husband and I decided to take a trip to Todos Santos, Mexico and ended up having the most exciting and thrilling vacation – in large part thanks to Mario and his staff at Mario Surf School. Neither of us had ever surfed before, but now absolutely LOVE it and are so grateful for the outstanding instruction we received! Owner... More

Thanks a million to Mario, Luis, and his crew for a great time at Playa Cerritos. Definitely worth the 45 min drive up from Cabo. The beach is great and smooth/sandy for gettin your surfin skills tuned up. This was my 3rd lesson from 3 different schools in the Cabo area and by far the best in technique and location.... More

A little tricky to find it's about 3km South of Todas Santos. Look for two large yellow flags that say Baja surf club and then drive towards the "Boutique Hotel". The beach is public and you will see some blue umbrellas there, that's Mario's surf school. The instructors I met were very friendly, took their time teaching us, and then... More
