Surf Lessons Nuevo Vallarta

Are you staying in Nuevo Vallarta and you want to learn how to surf or improve your surfing technique? You are in the right place!

We provide first-class technical surf lessons on a pristine beach called La Lancha, approximately 30 minutes away from Nuevo Vallarta.

Playa La Lancha’s gentle waves are perfect for an unforgettable surfing experience.

The lessons usually last approx 2.5 hours.

A true Surf Coaching Experience

Green Lagoon’s head coach is the only level 2 certified ISA surf instructor in this area.

He and his team will first walk you through the theory on the beach. This will prepare you to surf your first wave and will give you the tools to practice the sport.

You will learn things like how to paddle through the waves safely. How and where to position yourself to catch more waves. How to paddle to take off and pop-up. The surf etiquette, what to do and what not to do in the lineup. Everything that you need to know to be comfortable surfing.

1 coach every 4 adults (or 2 children) will be there to assist you. They’ll literally push you into your first white water waves.

If you are fit for it, they will help you try to catch your first unbroken green waves.

Why not doing the lessons in Nuevo Vallarta beach?

There are a couple of spots suitable for surf lessons in Nuevo Vallarta. However, in our opinion, they are not ideal.

Waves are not as consistent. The scenery is not as beautiful being at the exit of a Marina, the ocean is brownish most of the time.

More consistent waves, white sand, and turquoise warm waters make the beaches of Punta Mita, a better setting for our Surf Tours.

Our Surf Lessons Include:

• Rashguard
• Surfboard
• Surf Coach

Testimonials:

  We had a great experience with Green Lagoon Surfing. Paolo, Mara and Roberto did a excellent job giving us a great surf experience at La Lancha beach. We... read more had a group of nine ranging from 13 to 49 most of which had only surfed once before. Mara provided transportation from our Hard Rock Vallarta to the surf shop where we met Roberto. Roberto picked out all the surf boards for the group and we hiked the short trail to La Lancha beach. Roberto provide a short surf lesson on the beach and then took the group into the water. He had our whole group riding waves within minutes. My family had a great day and it was a highlight of our trip to Mexico. Mara stayed on the beach the whole morning providing snacks, water and encouragement for our group while Roberto made sure everyone was catching waves and learning how to surf properly. Mara and Paolo took 150 pictures of the family surfing and shared these to us. Overall, it was a great morning that exceeded my expectations and provided a lifetime experience for my family. Thank you Paolo, Mara and Roberto for a great day on La Lancha beach. …

  I had Roberto for a surf coach and he was amazing, super patient and methodical with me, always checking in on how I was feeling and my level of confidence... read more in the process. I got up really quickly and rode a few good waves on my first day, amazing! As well, Mara picked me up and dropped me off at my hotel and she was super warm and friendly and great to chat to. I will definitely use Green Lagoon again when I come back and highly recommend them to anyone!
