Amazing Surf Experience As A First Timer - Emilian is an amazing surf instructor! He is very patient, friendly, and a great teacher. The whole experience from the start to finish went smooth, and it was such a fun time. As a first timer, I did not expect to do super well and catch waves. But with Emilian’s help, I surprisingly did really well and it was sooooooo fun. With the way he set me up to actually surf a wave, I was able to catch real waves and ride them out sideways going so fast. Highly recommend!!

First time surfing - I have never surfed before and I didn't really have any idea about what went into it, but our guide was very thorough in explaining the way the ocean works in an easy to understand manner to the point that I was riding waves about halfway through, observing the principles he taught. Still much to work on, but I think this was a good foundation to start from and I know what I am aiming for now.
If I had more time I would have booked more sessions with them to advance more, but my flight leaves tomorrow unfortunately so I wasn't able to fit it in. My only regret is not booking earlier in my trip
All in all a good experience and I highly recommend them!

Perfect for first timers - This was our first time ever surfing and it was a very fun experience! I was nervous it would be overwhelming since I’d never done it before but it was super chill, the waves weren’t too big and the water wasn’t that deep so we were able to maneuver easily and learn a lot. The instructor explained all of the terminology to us and helped us understand how to look for a good wave, so we got some good base info for next time. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a real surfing experience as a complete beginner!

Very fun and informative experience - I was nervous that surfing would be super scary because I have a fear of the ocean, but it was very approachable. Emilian is a very fun and super detailed instructor. Learned all about vocab and surfed the face instead of just straight. Super mellow and very fun, got a lot of good waves and took us to food after. Muy divertida y fácil, aprendimos mucho!!

Stellar surf lesson, stellar surf instructor - This was an awesome experience. I was pretty nervous to try surfing, but Emilian was reassuring and made it really fun. Both my partner and I were able to stand up and surf some waves even though it was our first time. We appreciated the way he taught us the basic terminology and how to ride more than just white water. It was a nice touch that he took us to a local spot for a snack after. Will book with him again if we ever return to Puerto Vallarta.

Awesome surfing experience with Emilian - Emilian was an awesome instructor and very knowledgeable about surfing! We went to a nice spot that wasn't too crowded so we could do some instruction on the beach before diving in to the water and catching some waves.
I had been surfing before and had some previous lessons, but what I liked about this lesson was that Emilian really taught me a lot about anticipating and reading the waves. Most lessons will stress just standing up on the board and just making sure you can catch a wave straight and hopefully not falling. Emilian showed how you can read if the wave is moving left or right or collapsing, and then to lean in to either side and ride the wave either direction. I ended up catching a lot more waves than I ever had in any previous lesson and learned so much that I will take with me in future surfing adventures! I highly recommend taking lessons with Emilian, you will not be disappointed!
