It was my first time surfing and Donovan was an incredible teacher! I felt extremely safe the entire time, and the support he gave along with the other locals was amazing. I definitely recommend learning with him or one of the other teachers, it’s definitely an experience you don’t wanna miss out on!

Great teacher! He explains everything very easily in a way that makes you feel confident, which is great and super important to succeed at surfing! I’ve already repeated twice and I’m definitely coming back!

Our family has been back to surf with Donovan three times now. He is a fantastic teacher and runs a great business! He took care of every detail and made us feel comfortable and confident. Great for all levels.. even taught my 9 year old!

Everything about it was top notch. Donovan, Pina and Jerry were excellent teachers. They helped the family learn the basics and then got everyone on multiple waves for great rides over and over again. They were fun and relaxed and knowledgeable. A+ experience. We went back the next day for more classes with the team. Would highly recommend for anyone traveling in the area and looking for an excellent experience.

It was a great experience from the beginning. It was my first time trying to surf in over 20 years and I did much better, with their instruction, than I expected. They make surfing really accessible and they have a great community of staff and students. I do recommend taking more than one class if you have the time. My first class was a lot of fun, and totally worth it. I did also learn a lot more the next two. I do think it's important to get more experience with an instructor before trying it on your own. The other students I met also seemed to be having a great time. It's really what made my time great in Puerto Escondido!

My friends and I felt very safe to go with Angel for our three-days surfing lessons. We wish we could have more time spending in Puerto Escondido to learn surfing. Would love to go back again to surf with this organization!

We had a fantastic couple of surf lessons with Donovan, Franco, Jesus and Angel - they were all incredibly knowledgeable and great instructors, plus the beach where we surfed was absolutely stunning. Would highly recommend!

Donavan took my friend and I on our first ever surf lesson. The beach was beautiful and Donavan was an amazing instructor. He never let us out of his sight and was great at providing advice to help us with out technique.
I couldn’t recommend using Donavan more!
Fantastic experience.

Great Surf Lessons! Donovan and his crew are awesome. They really made us surf and we had a GREAT time with them !!
Wonderful scenario , they know the best surfing spots around puerto and master local conditions.
Besides that , they made us feel confident in the water and actually surfed Some big waves out there .
Great laughs and super relaxed mentality made us quite enjoyable every day we went out with them .
