My wife and I had a great morning learning to surf with Kurt, Guillermo and the crew. Fun, safe and memorable time! Would definitely do it again. Cheers!

What a blast! First time surfing and I had so much fun. Took a lesson with Kurt and caught wave after wave. Favorite experience in Lima!

A spur of the moment made me take a 2-hour session with Jorge as my teacher. Very friendly, very low key, and a very good teacher. Jorge was calm and gave good instructions — I felt safe and ended up having some good surfs! Being my first time I was thrilled. A very good 'walk in' experience.

Really great experience. The owner is very helpful and speaks English well. My husband had an amazing experience and memories. It was his first time surfing. Price was fair and really worth it. We will be back on our next vacation to Lima, Peru.

◐ 05 — QUESTIONS

The honest answers.

Zero. Most of our students have never touched a surfboard. Our beginner curriculum is designed so that 9 out of 10 people stand up on their very first lesson.

Lima is one of the best places in South America to learn — the beaches of Miraflores and Makaha have consistent, forgiving waves nearly every day of the year. The water's chilly but wetsuits solve that.

Just a swimsuit, a towel, and sunscreen. We provide the board, wetsuit, rash guard, booties, and everything else.

Don't worry if you can't swim. Our certified coaches have lifeguard experience and will guide you every step of the way, keeping you safe and out of panic mode while you learn.

Absolutely — we teach kids as young as 6. Private lessons are best for younger groms, and parents can watch (or join!).

Our shack is on Makaha Beach, Miraflores. About a 10-minute Uber from most hotels in Miraflores, Barranco, or San Isidro. We can also arrange pickup.
