- Playa La Lancha - Participants will gather at the surf school to select the appropriate boards for their skill level, which will then be loaded for transport. The journey to the prime surfing spot of the day, located between Bucerias and Punta de Mita, takes approximately 30 minutes. Upon arrival, the boards are unloaded, and everyone proceeds to the beach. For those who have opted for just the transfer, the instructor will provide guidance on where to surf and where to avoid, allowing 3 hours of free time.
For those who have booked a surf lesson, the instructor will begin with a 20-minute on-sand session covering all the essential basics. Following this, participants will spend 1.5 hours in the water practicing with the instructor, who will teach them how to ride the green waves and encourage independent attempts.
After the lesson, there will be approximately 1 hour of free time. After a total of 3 hours at the break, the group will return to the vehicle and head back to Sayulita, where participants will be dropped off at the surf school.
NOTE: Due to the unpredictable nature of the ocean, the exact departure time will be confirmed within 24 hours prior to the activity to ensure optimal wave conditions. This is usually scheduled between 12-3pm. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or requests!

Highly recommend! Great trip for our beginner family! - Amazing experience for our family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 teenagers - on the La Lancha surf trip! Our family had surfed once before in Hawaii 3 years ago so we were basically beginners. Miguel and the team had us all up on our boards and surfing in no time! Great, detailed instruction to help us succeed and have fun while doing it. The whole experience was great from the playlist on the drive to the relaxed atmosphere along the way and when we arrived. Gorgeous beach as well! I would highly recommend Miguel and the other instructors we had. Great experience!!!

Amazing surf trip lesson and experience! - Highly recommend Marea Surf School for surf trips and lessons! Miguel and his team are all so friendly and welcoming, and it truly is one of the best experiences Sayulita has to offer especially if you're a beginner like me. I had a lesson at La Lancha with Victor who is an incredible instructor - he was patient, kind, and helped build my confidence on the board. Thank you Miguel and Victor for an amazing experience!

The best experience I could have asked for! - Miguel and the crew are the absolute best! He was able to rent surfboards to me and all of my friends and then took us out on a perfect surf trip. I will 100% be going back to Marea Surf School the next time I am in Sayulita.

A wonderful surf experience - This was such a great experience. My son and I were in Sayulita for 10 days, and we previously did a surf lesson a day or so before- we happened to walk by Maria and walked in out of curiosity. They were so cool and chill, didn’t try and do an intense pressure sell or anything. We decided to do a 20 min drive to La Lancha beach and it was incredible. Victor and Ali (the instructors) were the BEST! Super patient and helpful- but also really knowledgeable. Can’t recommend them enough

Powerful Experience - My family (2 adults and 2 teens) joined Miguel and Jose on a beautiful morning to try surfing for the very first time. We loved the open air drive to a stunning bunch listening to music and taking in the jungle. Miguel was patient and clear on the beach about how to get up and then we were in! We all got up and actually surfed and felt safe and excited at the same time! What an experience! Not an inexpensive morning but worth every penny! Thanks!

Bad experience - I recently had a very bad experience with this school which clearly lacks professionalism and communication.
In fact I had contacted Lara on WhatsApp to make 5 promotional trips to Lancha who told me it was ok and to come to the school. Arriving there Miguel told me that they don't do Lancha trips and disappointed but still wanting to surf I rented the board for 5 days for 2000 pesos but in fact I learned that the next day they were taking a beginner to the Lancha. I asked them if I could go there and they asked me to pay 600 pesos extra for the trip. They both got mad at me and ended up telling me I could go to the Lancha and not rent the board for the week but they were very rude to me the whole week and made me feel good the whole time. week that I was not welcome in their club after having paid them 2500 pesos. I had a really bad time and forced myself to go surfing all week in this bad atmosphere because I didn't want to lose the money.
For me it is still not clear why they acted like that and I have the deep feeling that they were interested in my money and not in having a good time surfing and taking me to ds place for intermediate level and surf with pleasure.
