SURF LESSONS IN PLAYA SANTANA
The waves rolling onto the BEST beaches of Nicaragua By the famous resort Playa Santana . We offer something sweet for both beginner and advanced surfers alike. At the south end of the private property, Playa Colorado Surf School hosts private, semi-private or group surf lessons at Playa Los Perros which offers a small wave with a right point break. Because this wave only really breaks with large swells, this is a perfect spot for our beginners .
Playa Santana ramps things up with great peaks and punchy waves rolling along a sand bottom beach. Enlarged peaks form off the impressive rock wall to the south end of the beach, so we take our more advanced surfers for private lessons here to improve their technique and carve up some fun!
But if the crowds are too much at Playa Santana, fear not! Playa Colorado Surfing School offers surf lessons all up and down the coast. We can help you learn to surf on the delightful beaches of Popoyo, the coveted Playa Colorado, or the bays of San Juan del Sur at Playa Remanso Perfect for beginers , or directly in to the coveted Playa Colorado – your next wave is our command!

TRIP ADVISOR REVIEWS
I'm a 41 year old male, never surfed before, and my wife set me up with a private lesson as an anniversary present. We surfed at Mission Beach starting... read more at 10:30am in September. Great weather, great beach, consistent medium waves. My instructor was patient, friendly, chatty, and helpful. 90 minutes was plenty of time to get comfortable and stand up a few times, and then be ready for a rest since wading out over and over takes a toll.
The team was professional and friendly, and the merch is great. While I didn't pay for the photographer add-on, he still took pics of me, which I later was able to buy.
Other things to know: There is no restroom at the office so go at home, the beach ones are very used. They supply the wetsuit so you just need underwear, but you change in public on the beach so be prepared.

Pacific Surf School is top notch! My wife and I took a lesson with David and he was an exceptional instructor. He was extremely professional, patience and very knowledgeable! Most... read more importantly he was fun, and made the experience fun, which is what surfing is all about! He took the the time to explain and demonstrate different pop-up methods. Also showed us how to properly shift weight and keep your center of balance. And as promised, he had us up and riding waves in no time! I have experience in surfing but its been many years since I've been on a board. I've always found it difficult to be in the correct position when catching waves on longer surfboards (very different catching small waves on a heavy long board compared to a small body board using flippers). David immediately saw that I was positioning myself incorrectly and as soon as he adjusted me I was catching waves much easier. He also was making suggestions on paddling techniques and shifting the body as you are positioning to catching a wave. Little tips and suggestions like that make the experience so much better, and this is now something I can work off on my own to improve my skills. I was also drilling David with all types of questions after our session (positioning on the board, pop up techniques, board types & sizes, wet suit questions) and he answered all of them in detail and without hesitation. Overall an incredible experience with David & crew and I would recommend them to anyone! If you are in San Diego, take a surf lesson! And be sure to take it with Pacific Surf School!!

Erik was our instructor, he was very friendly and easy going. First up, I don’t know swimming. I felt very comfortable despite me not knowing how to swim. I took... read more a couple of breaks and was able to surf after I fell flat many times. But hey, I did it. 🙂 thanks to Erik.
