SURF LESSONS San Juan Del Sur
The Best Surf Lessons in San Juan Del Sur!
Where consistent offshore winds carve out perfect waves in crystalline seas, San Juan Del Sur’s popular surf breaks offer great conditions year round to all surfers and people yearning to learn to surf. At Playa Colorado Surfing School we offer private, semi-private or group surf lessons at the best surf breaks in the region and we’ll tailor your surf experience according to conditions and the type of wave you seek.
Unless the swell is unusually high, we take our beginners down to play in the long wave at Playa Remanso. Playa Maderas is another one of our favourite locations for learning to surf and on an incoming tide, the swell is excellent for all surf levels with a mellow break and a string of rustic bars to quench your thirst after the surf lesson.
If you’re looking for space, we’ll take you down to the mile-long Playa Hermosa, meaning Beautiful Beach in Spanish. Promising consistent swell for all levels of surfers, we love bringing our longboards down here and the ample space is great for learning to surf. For the more advanced surfer, Playa Colorado Surfing School grab the short boards for a tailored lesson and paddle out to Playa Yankee where the powerful peaks often reach chest or head height. Here you also get a lot more surf territory to yourself because the crowds stay closer to town.

TRIP ADVISOR REVIEWS
My husband had Caleb as his instructor, and had an absolutely amazing time surfing. Easy to schedule, reasonable price (not cheap, but worth it), and a terrific experience. My husband... read more was able to get up and surf on his first couple of tries thanks to good coaching and he had a blast. (I could tell from my seat on the beach!) Instructors are nice and encouraging!

Some good - but also some disastrous instruction. - Booked two separate 1-2-1 sessions for my boys while holidaying in San Diego. One session was delivered well and thoroughly enjoyed. Sadly the other session was a disaster - the... read more instructor failed to assess adequately the ability of my younger son, then took him too deep and into waves too big. After falls off the board and going through the rinse cycle, he refused to take the rest of the session. I couldn’t blame his reaction. Totally inadequate instruction from someone who was supposed to be a ‘professional’.

Awesome photos - Fernando did an awesome job with photos while we were surfing. It was a great day, and we also celebrated my birthday today.

I have taken other surf lessons before and was never able to stand up, but thanks to Edwin's amazing instruction, I was standing on my 3rd run and rode waves... read more all the way to shore! He watches you closely and gives you tips for small adjustments each time, not just for getting up once you catch the wave but also to get back out easily against the incoming waves. He was also SO patient and encouraging. We left feeling on top of the world. Surfing is the absolute best and it's never too late to learn!
