Amazing experience! - Cannot recommend enough! Pick up was right on time. Leo was so professional — very knowledgable about everything and could pick out the best spots to get the best waves. The beach itself was absolutely stunning. I was a totally beginner but with pretty much no idea what I was doing but by the end of the lesson I definitely felt like I had made progress! I was so appreciative of his patience as it took me a while to get up on the board. Thank you!

Leo and Vallarta Surf... - Leo and Vallarta Surf were absolutely fantastic! From the moment he picked us up in his van (right on time - even waited for us as we were a bit late), Leo made the whole experience stress-free and fun. He took the time to get us the perfect board sizes for me and my son, then drove us to a beautiful, uncrowded beginner-friendly spot. On the beach he gave clear, patient instruction (pop-ups, timing, paddle technique), and once we were in the water he stayed right there with us the entire time, pushing us into waves, giving tips, and cheering us on. Within the first 20 minutes both my son and I were standing up and riding waves, something I honestly didn’t think would happen on day one! Leo’s enthusiasm is contagious, he’s super patient (especially with kids), and you can tell he genuinely loves teaching people to surf. Best surf lesson we’ve ever had in Mexico, hands-down. If you’re in Puerto Vallarta and want to learn to surf (or just have an awesome day in the water), book with Vallarta Surf and ask for Leo, you won’t regret it!

Stoked to Catch Our First Waves! 🌊 - Surfing with Reuben at Vallarta Surf Co. was amazing! He explained everything clearly and gave us just the right tips so we were actually catching waves right from the beginning. His mix of patience, encouragement, and fun energy made the lesson unforgettable. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Great experience and will do it again! - We went out for 3 hours with Leo and it was so much fun! Started with being picked up at our hotel which was super convenient. Then we got to enjoy a nice little walk through the woods which felt like an adventure and then it opened up to the beautiful beach. Leo was a great teacher and had two 40 year olds surfing in no time. Highly recommend and am looking forward to coming back.

Great Surf Experience with VSCO in Puerto Vallarta! - We had a fantastic time learning to surf with Premier Surf Lessons VSCO! The instructors — Eduardo, Leo, Samuel, and Ruben — were all knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience both fun and approachable. They have decades of experience surfing in the area, which gives them expert insight into the local breaks. They knew exactly where to go based on the conditions and our experience level, which made us feel confident and safe throughout the lesson. As beginners, we really appreciated their patience, encouragement, and positive energy. They took the time to explain things clearly, gave helpful one-on-one feedback, and made the whole session enjoyable and low-pressure. Fairly quickly we were catching waves regularly and having so much fun! Whether you’re new to surfing or just looking to improve your skills, this team is a great choice! Highly recommend if you’re in Puerto Vallarta and want a memorable surf experience!

Best Surf in PV - Best surf teacher in PV by far. Professional yet patient, the teacher is a true PV local, and knows so much about the local beaches and culture. He managed to get me to stand up on the board more often than i ever had before! Day went by without a hitch, 10/10 would recommend!!

Great team , great experience - Leo and the team were excellent. Picked us up from the hotel and drove us to the beach. They provided a team of surfers to both teach us in the beach and in the water. Very chill group , who seem to take this as a way to help others enjoy their passion for surfing than a job. Would recommend for families for sure

Disappointed - We showed up to the designated meeting area and the provider never showed. We waited for thirty minutes. No phone call, no email, I even tried calling the store and it went to voicemail right away.
