The morning heat hits the sand and the Pacific sends a steady stream of white water toward your feet—waves that seem to dare you forward. Under Sergio “Cat” Reyes—national surf champion and certified instructor—you’ll learn to read that motion, feel how the swell pushes, and time a pop-up that turns a tumble into a ride.
San José del Cabo is a place shaped by marine terraces and seasonal swell patterns; its beaches reflect volcanic and sedimentary geology that bends swells into forgiving beginner breaks. The town carries a colonial quiet—mission-era streets and a fishing village energy that informs local surf culture: respect the lineup, watch for currents, and tip the fishermen who read the morning sea.
Lessons begin on sand with board position, paddling, and safety before moving into small whitewater waves. Expect hands-on coaching, real-time corrections, and an emphasis on ocean awareness—tides, rips, and etiquette—skills that outlast a single session. Sergio provides soft-top boards, a leash, and shade; you provide curiosity and basic swimming comfort.
Plan for direct sun, variable currents, and a 90–120 minute session that’s physically light but balance- and stamina-focused. Hydrate, wear reef-safe sunscreen and a rashguard, and arrive early to discuss tide timing. Whether you want a confident first green-wave or a safer reintroduction to the ocean, a private lesson here gives practical technique, local knowledge, and the kind of coached repetition that makes progress obvious—wave after wave.
No—lessons are designed for beginners and returning surfers; the instructor starts on sand and progresses to manageable whitewater waves.
Soft-top surfboard, leash, and an umbrella for shade are included; Sergio provides instruction, safety coaching, and equipment fitting.
