Great for first time! - Awesome surfing! Great for an introductory course. If you’re looking for something more personal, perhaps book a one on one session.

Pefect way to spend a morning in Lima - It was an absolute blast! We spent 30 minutes on board skills on land before heading into the water, then spent over an hour catching waves (or attempting to). I didn't think I would get up, but I surprised myself with a few good attempts! I can't thank the Pukana instructors enough - they made it so memorable

5 STARS — highly recommend - I had a great experience with my first surf lesson in Lima. I really appreciated that they offer pickup and drop-off, because getting a car to the Malecón can sometimes be tricky with traffic. Javier picked me up and was very punctual, and when my lesson ended he made sure I had a ride home quickly when he saw I was waiting when he came out from another lesson he led. He even took a video of me in my wetsuit and helped pose me with the board so I’d have a great memory from my first time surfing. They provide all the equipment you need, including the wetsuit, board, and surf shoes. The shoreline is very rocky, so the shoes are definitely necessary and made getting in and out of the water much easier. They also give you a bright branded shirt to wear over your wetsuit, which I assume helps them quickly identify students out in the water. My instructor stayed with me the entire time in the water and was very helpful. I liked the style of the lesson, because he was right there guiding me and positioning my board so I could catch waves. I was in the water for about an hour and had plenty of opportunities to try. It was my first time surfing, and while I had high hopes that I’d stand up & ride all the waves - right away…! I quickly learned it’s harder than it looks! Out of maybe 8 or 9 waves, I was able to stand up twice (on my second and third attempts). After that my front foot kept getting stuck on the board, throwing my balance off, so I definitely need more practice with the technique. That said, I never felt unsafe in the water. The instructor made me feel very comfortable and confident, and I was able to quickly get back on my board and paddle out again to him, after each attempt. The lesson wrapped up after a strong wave crashed down on us and my instructor’s board washed to shore (luckily another instructor on the team grabbed it - i was amazed how fast it happened!), Plus the other student in the lesson - he was done/tired and waiting on the shore. Even though I still had energy…surfing is a lot of work! I do a lot of Ashtanga and kettlebell training, so that helped my stamina a lot, otherwise I would have been completely exhausted. Overall, it was a really fun first surfing experience, and it definitely made me want to keep learning. I’ll absolutely try surfing again. 5 STARS highly recommend. Thanks Javier & Team

It was all worth it! - For anybody who's never gone surfing this is a full workout but it was soooo worth it. My instructor Michael was the man! He really guided me out there in the water and helped me go from wiping out to being able to ride the waves. They give you all the gear you need (board of course, but also a wetsuit and water shoes) and thank God they do because it's almost impossible to get in or out of the water without the water shoes. The water might've been freezing but with the wetsuit you wouldn't even know it. Definitely recommend these guys!!

Great experience! - I had an amazing experience surfing! Jorge was my instructor and was super helpful and supportive. After every wave he told us how to improve, checked in on how tired we were, and was generally very kind. After a few waves I was able to stand on the board! I went as a solo traveler and had a few questions beforehand, they answered promptly. I would highly recommend using this group for your lesson! I’ve already recommended it to several people.

Great experience!!! - Very good and attentive teachers! After learning the basic movements on the ground and putting on the clothes, we went to the water. There, after each wave, they gave us “individual feedback” about what to improve in the next wave. A great experience! I recommend!

Very funny - It was a nice experience Very attentive It was also fun I liked that they care about each of the group I will gladly return

Best surf place! - Great instruction and nice waves! Don’t miss this. What a great place to surf! Give yourself extra time to walk down to the beach. Got some great footage! Thank you!

Absolute must do!! Oscar is the best ! - This was excellent! I wasn’t sure what to expect and only booked it the same morning, but figured I’m here I have to try! I was so lucky to get paired with instructor Oscar. He was clear, through and inspiring! After getting in the gear (even if it’s not too chilly out you’ll want the wetsuit on, and don’t forget zipper goes to the back!!) you’ll get directions on land which are CRITICAL so when you do get on the water you can focus more on balance than where your feet are. It was a truly wonderful experience and I’m so glad to have booked it!

We loved it! - Very nice instructor, super helpful and very patient! Thanks for being great! Easy to find on the beach too
