SURF LESSONS Playa Popoyo

  Took surfing lessons with my 2 sons for my birthday. We had a great time. My kids did very well. Me, well, not so great. Our instructor was Caleb.... read more What a great guy. He was very patient and knowledgeable. He did a great job telling you what you were doing wrong and how to adjust. Great experience!

  Outstanding Surf Experience - We had a great time surfing with Cole. He was extremely patient, easy-going and knowledgeable. He made our first time surfing excellent and we couldn’t have asked for a better... read more experience! Thank you Cole and Pacific Surf School for the great time!

  Most Fun I had on Vacation - I had Kenyt as my instructor and he was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and patient with me. He created a very comfortable learning environment and as a first-time surfer, I was... read more able to get up several times! It was so much fun. It's so peaceful paddling out and waiting sitting on the board, then BAM the wave comes and you get hit by a surge of adrenaline. I stayed in San Diego all week doing many activites, and by far, surfing was the most fun! I'm itching to get back out on the water. If I lived there, I'd surf every day. 10/10 experience.

  Surf Lesson 10/10 (Group Lesson) - Did this activity for my bachelor party with a small group of childhood friends and it was absolutely my favorite aspect of my bachelor party. It was a humbling experience... read more and you will get an absolute workout in your time on the water. It's a full body workout and is exhausting cardio. I gained a lot of respect for surfing and it is something I want to continue to do in my life going forward -- I can thank our instructor for enhancing our experience!

Paul G. was absolutely amazing! He matched our energy and allowed us to not only have a good time but be our goofy selves. This only made our experience better. After giving us group instruction he followed up with some individual instruction as well. On the water he gave all 5 of us individual instruction/pointers as we are a group that ranges from 5'7 to 6'7, this personalized instruction was needed. Each one of us were given how to not only get up onto the board but to stay and ride the waves to match our own journey on the water. A testament to Paul G. is ALL 5 of us were able to get up and ride the waves which made our day even better! I now need to teach him how to ice skate!

As our instructor Paul noted, it was more rough than usual, so if it is your first time it should be early in the day. 9AM being the best time. We went at 10:45. Later in the day, the rougher the waves.

Thanks for a great experience Paul
