Surf instructors seem to feel entitled. It's a shame they have that attitude since the other schools aren't like that.

I spend a month in Baja in February 2021, during which I took 3 lessons from Mario's surf school. It was ok. I was happy to have someone in the fray with me. The lessons I thought were just ok. I didn't find the instructors overly friendly or interested. They were simply doing a job. "Paddle, paddle, paddle, stand up". Rinse. repeat.

My partner and I traveled to Playa Cerritos with a joint goal, learning how to surf. After speaking with Odin, the manager at Mario’s, I decided to take my lessons with them. I signed up for five lessons and loved every one. I learned surf theory, how to pop-up and how to catch the wave. My instructor, Taka was always willing to give more pointers and encouraged me to keep practicing. They even allowed me to continue to use the board after my lesson was over. And while I am still very much a beginner, I am catching small green waves and getting some goods rides. Highly recommend nice people and reasonably priced lessons.

Hey I was in los Cabos recently. Had a lesson at Zippers break but couldn’t figure it out. Probably cuz up I’m a slow learner. Came to Mario’s at Cerritos and had a two hour lesson with Odin. Super fun with several good runs. He is a great instructor.

What a fun morning at Mario Surf School! There were 5 of us took the private surf lesson. What a blast! The instructors were so friendly, patient and calm with us and most of us were beginners. They worked with us and even I ventured out and although I couldn't jump up well, they helped me get out there and have fun.
Los Cerritos Beach was beautiful. We will definitely be back

We paddle boarded from puntos lobos in the morning for about 3 hrs around the coast.
So much sea life it was simply epic. We saw loads of jumping and flipping mantas, curious sea lions came to say hello and we even saw 3 whales which is was quite scary being so close on a paddle board. It was just myself and the guide. We stayed close to the rocks to allow them to pass us with as much room as we could give them and we continued on.
It was such an awesome morning and a fabulous way to explore todos Santos. Definitely recommend!

There were 6 of us that went on a Paddle Boarding adventure for a birthday party. The service, the instruction, the food, the drink, everything exceed our every expectation. Thank you all very much for taking such good care of us.

We went with Mario's group to swim with the whale sharks! I was so excited that I had my season correct, and the whale sharks did not disappoint! Mario's team was prompt with our pick up and instructions. We were able to spend a few hours at Balandra Bay after, which if you are already in La Paz I would suggest asking about this! We requested to bring SUP boards, spending the afternoon paddling around was so fun! A huge thanks to Mario and his team! Another great trip!

My son (12) and I just had a fantastic 3-day trip in Cerritos and Mario’s team took care of everything for me. Mauricio provided perfect and always friendly service. Recommended the hotel, took care of our airport transportation, set us up with an incredible surf tour of the area, rented me multiple surfboards, and answered questions and helped in any way they could. That’s the way to run a successful business. I’m going back there for sure and highly recommend using Mario’s team. Martin was our surf guide and was also 5-star. Great guy, really nice and mind blowing incredible surfer... jaw dropping what that guy can do.
