About
Much more than just a surf lesson! It's a personalized, top-of-the-line surf experience. That's what you're up to! For years, I have studied the art of riding waves, different types of techniques, and methods of therapeutic surfing that will ensure a very safe session and tons of fun for you to start on the waves right away.
Floating through a glassy wall of water feels special and elegant. Nothing satisfies me more than introducing kids and adults to a friendly surfing experience, and watching smiles from ear to ear from your first waves.
Surfing is my favorite medium of expression. I fell in love with this sport as a tiny boy, and having a close relationship with the ocean is something very special and essential to me.
I'm eternally grateful to surfing and for what it has given me in life. Now, it's my time to give back. Furthermore, I'm here to offer you the best possible surf experience you can find, that's my commitment and my legacy.
I'll also take some cool photos for you!

These pro surfers offer the best surfing experience ever for our family. The team of Hugo, Howard and Howard know exactly how to get you on a board and surfing in minutes. They are encouraging and supportive and make the experience fun for all. I would have loved to take multiple days of classes with them to advance. Hugo’s passion for surfing comes through not just in the lessons he gives but when he talks about his work in the community teaching kids to surf. So glad we found this amazing place!

This was such a fun experience and Hugo (instructor) could not be better! I would do this every time in Cartagena. He has such a love for Colombia, surfing, and teaching. Truly amazing and even I was able to ride several waves! Great time for solo people, groups, kids, and adults. Don't hesitate to book! And it helps support his organization of teaching local children to surf for free. His book is awesome also! All around, one of my best travel experiences!

Hugo and his team did an amazing job. Suprised my 9 yr for his bday. Hugo’s had us up and surfing within 10mins of being on the water. Hugo made us feel part of the surf family and we booked another session. Would highly recommend for all ages and skill levels.

Highly highly recommend!! Surfing with Hugo is going to be a great time no matter your level. The location is great, instructions and depth of experience are excellent, and most importantly the mindset and gratitude will leave you smiling all day. I was catching waves in no time and learning about technique and the ocean and surf history. Hugo is a gem

The private class was great, Hugo was very patient and caring teacher. I have taken classes in the Hawaii, Mexico and New York and this has definately been the best one I have taken. Hugo really cares not only about the art of surfing but ensuring that you are both learning and enjoying the experiance. Surfing is his passion and it comes through in the class.

The surf class with Hugo was amazing! Hugo was really ambitious and we way he thought us surfing was inspiring. He always motivated us to give our best, however, the most important thing was to have a lot of fun, which we definitely had :-) After the lesson we had the opportunity to jump into the pool and calm down. If you want to try surfing, we definitely recommend to book a class with Hugo!

EXCELLENT. I highly recommend Ohana Surf. The instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable. My 9yr old son never surf before, learned quickly and love the experience. Hugo is an excellent instructor fluent in English and Spanish, super friendly and fun. We're looking forward to meeting him again in our next vacation. :) You will love the experience too!
