Great lesson with Emilian! - I have taken several surfing lessons, but this was the best one ever. Emilian picked me up at my hotel and started discussing reading the waves and surf theory as we drove to the beach. On the beach, we watched the waves, practiced the pop-up and several other board positioning techniques before hitting the water. I learned to catch right breaking waves and left breaking waves rather than just going straight down the face. The tools that I learned with Emilian will be helpful if I go out on my own and I will definitely book another lesson with him the next time I come to Puerto Vallarta!

Amazing and authentic! - Fantastic lessons! By the end of my first surfing lessons I had caught a few of my own waves! They actually teach you fundamental maneuvers, wave dynamics, and spot selection, instead of just throwing you onto a wave and saying stand up. If you actually want to learn HOW TO SURF from real surfers, THIS IS THE PLACE!

Surfing skills progression and great waves - Emilian was a great instructor focused on improving skills and teaching knowledge of the ocean to progress quickly from beginner to intermediate technique and learn how to become an independent surfer. Lesson are more thorough than simply how to stand on a board. Focusing on proper technique and wave selection. Massively improved and caught the best wave of my life. Couldn't ask for more.

Amazing guide, instructor and person. Highly recommend!!!! - We had an amazing time with Emilian with a group of begginer and old school surfer. Great instructions, patient, and very accommodating. It was my sons first time surfing and he was doing 360s by the end of the day!!!! I was to tired to paddle out after the first ride and he water taxied me out 10 more times. Hahahaha!!!

Excellent instructor for beginners and advanced surfers - Emilian was easy to contact and he was very proactive to question my surf level in order to bring me to the best spot possible. As an intermediate, I’m always a bit reluctant to book lesson since a lot of instructors can help me much. Emilian had very appropriate advices and help me upgrade to a next level so we had a blast! I’ll definitely book another lesson if I’m back in the region.

Must do! - Emilian was awesome! I’ve surfed a couple times in my life and was fairly comfortable just popping up! But he went into way more depth than any instructor I’ve had in the past! He didn’t just teach me how to get up but he taught me about water dynamics. How to read the waves and how to adjust before, during, and after the pop up! By the end I was hitting a 360! He gave me the confidence to make surfing a hobby not just something I do every couple of years! Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor!!

Awesome time!! - Excellent surf lesson with Emilian. Good communication through WhatsApp. He picked us up and then drove us 45 minutes to Nuevo Vallarta to the surf shop. We were able to leave our belongings there before walking a short distance to the beach. Emilian taught us the basics of surfing and also did an excellent job explaining what kinds of waves to look for and to look for the pocket of the wave to get the most power. I’ve had several surf lessons before and I can say that he has taught me the most about surfing. Afterwards we all enjoyed lunch (not included) at a restaurant nearby.
