Pick this trip! - Our surf trip with Edison exceeded our expectations! He was super personable and a wonderful teacher. My partner and I were at different skill levels and he was able to teach us both at the same time. It was my first time surfing and I was able to catch several waves thanks to Edison! We will be surfing with him again when we are back in PV!

Great Experience! - Edson was amazing! He took our sons out to surf at Punta de Mita and they loved it. Edson explained how they could improve and gave them pointers so they felt confident enough to surf on their own. My husband and I went along for the ride to watch and the company was very accommodating.

Thanksgiving surfing on Puerto Vallarta - My daughter and I went with JC (Juan Carlo) during the week of Thanksgiving. We were staying in Puerto Vallarta and this one was of the excursions I had planned for the week. JC was awesome and he drove us up to La Lancha for our lesson. My daughter (17) and I (50) got up on the first wave and caught several waves during the lesson, even a few on our own.
If you are staying in PV and want to go surfing Xiutla Riders is the way to go!

Amazing surfing experience! - My boyfriend Lalo and I were just walking around and stumbled upon their shop that provided all sorts of tours. He has been wanting to go surfing and it was fated that we walked by the shop! Walking in the staff was super attentive and had the most upbeat energy. Everyone was super friendly and had smiles on their faces. My boyfriend got the surfing package and I unfortunately cannot swim BUT they were also so accommodating towards me, they provided me an umbrella to make sure I would get hot/burnt on the beach (La Lancha). Our guide JC was also absolutely AMAZING! He was super knowledgeable and hilarious! My boyfriend and I were just talking about how when we do come back to PV we’re only going to go through them and pick JC as our guide again haha. Pick Jean Carlo Gómez as your guide, I promise you won’t regret it!

Awesome Day! - We took the private surf lesson with Edson. He was awesome! There was only two of us, and he took his time to make sure we both knew what to do, and were comfortable. We both had 1:1 time, and were successful in our own right. The beach he took us too was gorgeous. Overall a great experience.

Awesome surfing experience - Jean Carlo was a fantastic guide! We had great conversations on the two, 45-minute drives and great opportunities to practice our Spanish. Once we were at the beach, we were able to catch multiple waves and JC was a good coach and kept encouraging us to keep trying. We were totally exhausted by the end! One of the best days of our trip.

An incredible day - This was the best excursion of our week long puerto vallarta trip. Edson is a phenomenal teacher and my husband and I are already looking into coming back and taking more lessons. Our group had no surfing experience to start and by the end all of us were able to identify a good wave, paddle and and stand up on the board. It was truly memorable. We felt safe in the water with Edson and can't thank him enough for a wonderful time.

Ask for Edson! Guarantied Great Time! - Huge Shout Out to Edson at Xiutla Riders adventure tours! Edson was outstanding teaching our family about surfing and the surrounding towns/beaches of Puta Mita and Sayulito while we were vacationing in PV. Can't thank him enough for his local taco spot that just topped off a day of fantastic memories for all of us!
