      Excellent surfing experience for the entire family.
      We had a group of 8 people, ages 8-48. The instructors did an amazing job with all ages but particularly the kids. My youngest was teary eyed and scared and by the end of the session was surfing and waving her arms in the air. We did a 1.5 hour session. Everyone surfed and had a blast, all good vibes from the instructors. The instructors had great safety awareness and very good instruction and we all got up multiple times!! Highly recommend, definitely the best "excursion" we did. We also easily ubered to the location.

      Best Surf Shop in Cabo
      Surf in Cabo is AWESOME! We rented a soft-top board from them for a week for my tween son - he could swap out the board for another any time without charge. They have a great selection of rental boards for surfers at any level. Price was much cheaper than flying his own board to Cabo. The whole family took a few lessons with Fernando and the other instructors. We spent most of the week surfing the beginner break in front of the store, and hanging out in Surf in Cabo's shady beach-side chairs. They have a bathroom, lockers, and shower for clients. Everyone there is so friendly and accommodating. From our first interactions with them until we said goodbye, it was such a welcoming and chill location - such a difference from the non-stop music and frenzy of the resorts! The Surf in Cabo team gave us advice on other beginner-friendly breaks to visit, places to eat, helped us find wetsuit pants for my son's sunburned legs - they couldn't have been more kind. They have umbrellas and beach chairs for rent, too (if you're heading to another break). We plan to go back again soon, and will definitely rent from and take lessons with Surf in Cabo again!

      Michael was awesome
      Ask for Michael! He met us at the pickup point on time, was very friendly and helped us get right out on the waves to start learning how to surf. We were first time surfers and this was a great experience.

      Amazing place to rent a surfboard
      I love how it’s located in a very private location with usually beginner and intermediate waves. Fernando went above and beyond to make sure my husband (a more beginner surfer) had the right board and new where to catch the safest waves for him. He even had good pointers. We only rented a board for a couple hours, and he was so helpful to make sure it was as safe as possible.

      New surfers
      I had to leave a review for David. He gave lessons to my adult/teen kids. They have surfed before and said this was the most fun they ever had surfing. And the cherry on top was David had someone take amazing pictures of the kids while they were swimming. BEST pictures ever. Amazing combination. We can’t wait to come back next time we are in cabo Irene Cohen

      Thank You Surf in Cabo! Setting the Standard for Surf Culture!
      Surf in Cabo has created and maintains a culture of good vibes, honesty, inclusivity, safety, and fun at Costa Azul. My wife and I live in Colorado, and had an incredible opportunity to stay in San Jose del Cabo from January through April this year. David, Fernando, Rocco, the other David, Wendy, Chris, the part-time instructors, and Mario the photographer treated us like friends from the day that we arrived. I have to mention Roquito and Belu, as well, the 10-year-old ripper and his little brother, who would go from playing in the waves one minute to tossing a football on the beach with us the next. Surfing at one of the four Costa Azul breaks several days per week, we were always heartily welcomed by all of them. They were very generous to us throughout our entire stay, offering up pointers on surfing, conditions at the local breaks and across the region, and with the use of their facilities. Having spent nearly four months there, I came to know that it wasn’t just us, either. They treated every visitor to the beach and to their shop with the utmost respect, kindness, and compassion, all while maintaining an upbeat, exciting, and fun beach/surf atmosphere. The mean-spirited surf attitude that we’ve encountered at other breaks across the world just doesn’t exist at Pescadito Break, the awesome, gentle break nearest to Surf in Cabo, and it can be attributed to the welcoming, generous, and kindhearted attitudes of the shop and its staff. We had several friends and family visit throughout our stay who received fun and successful surf lessons and extremely reasonable prices on rentals and purchases, including many great action pictures of the kids surfing. It is a testament to the vibe of Surf in Cabo that the beach and the breaks there are all about fun, kindness, and sharing the wonders of the sea with the entire community at Costa Azul!

      Great Surf Spot!
      Best beginner surf area, not intimidating, and awesome staff. We rented boards from them for 3 days of our trip. My older kids, that had never surfed before, took a short lesson with an instructor there and surfed on their own for the next couple days. My youngest is very adventurous, and once she was comfortable with the bigger board they let her swap boards for a different type with no extra fee. Always a welcome smile and super helpful! We will be back in December, and booked close to this beach and surf shop. Awesome!

      Great Beginner Lesson @ Surf in Cabo
      We had a fantastic beginner surf lesson with Surf in Cabo! Fernando greeted us and got us outfitted for our lesson with Rocco and David-- they were fabulous teachers and everyone had a great time. We had the waves to ourselves and everyone was super helpful. I heartily recommend them!

      Surfing lessons
      The amount of information given to us when we stopped by to find out about booking a surf lesson for my husband and one of our teen sons was awesome. We spoke to both Oscar and Fernando and they were so knowledgeable and patient with us. We ended up waiting a few days after hurricane Pamela had hit land south of us so the waves were smaller and cleaner. Their surf instructor was Luziano, he was very calm and helpful. He gave them a short on the beach run down and then they headed in the water. My son was able to stand up on the 1st try. I rented a board but didn't pay for a lessin as I surfed a lot in my 20's. Luziano was very helpful to me as well. We highly recommend this place if you are looking for surd lessons, their pricing is good, but their customer service and outstanding knowledge of the area's waves is priceless. I highly recommen this company. We will be back next time.

      Best instructors so far!
      Compared to our lessons in Hawaii, the Cabo guides were awesome. My 2 daughters got up their first time and had tons of confidence to keep surfing for multiple consecutive days. Thanks Andres for being so welcoming! We had a great time.

    I booked the 1.5 hr. Quick Lesson through their website for 9am. They emailed and asked if I could come an hour earlier as the waves and crowds (as in smaller) would be better. Since they’re the experts, I was happy to change.

    This is located to the right of Zipper’s as you’re facing the ocean. We parked in the Zipper’s parking lot and walked over.

    David was my instructor and he was great. He took me through the basics, was very patient and encouraging and I was up on the board by the third wave or so. (biggest tip: don’t look down, look up. “If you look down, you go down.”)

    You definitely want to wear rash guards, as the beach is rocky. There’s a photographer with a telephoto lens who takes pictures for a separate price and he’s worth every penny.

    There were chairs for my non-surfing sister to sit in, and a shower to rinse off afterwards. Highly recommended!

    AMAZING!! The team knows exactly what they are doing and had a super fun, super positive demeanor. Pickup/dropoff from our hotel, the actual lesson, and photography package all came at a fair and affordable rate. I rarely write reviews but I had to share my love for this crew. They got two of (who've never surfed before) catching waves in minutes! They were very patient when we needed breaks to catch our breath or give our shoulders a break. Made the whole experience lighthearted, fun, and unforgettable! :) Will definitely be going back my next trip to Cabo!

    y 7 y/o daughter took a lesson here and I rented a board for the week. First off, the booking and communication were great. I used WhatsApp and got quick responses. They also were very accommodating to rent a board for the week rather than daily. Fernando was great in helping me pick out a board and giving break advice. I had the ability to swap out boards based on conditions and got advice on where to surf and guidance on the break and hazards to be wary of. As for my daughter's lesson, she had a great time with Frank (Francisco maybe). She had a tough experience surfing in CA, so it was a bit hesitant. He was able to get her in the water and she had an absolute blast. He was very careful with her and patient. Definitely recommend the place! For those just looking to rent a board the location is perfect. It sits at 3 breaks and they have variety from foamies for beginners or small waves to hardtop and others for intermediate. They also are located centrally to 3 decent surf breaks all within walking or paddling distance. to show how friendly they were, I even "snaked" one of the owners and didn't know who she was. Afterwards, she was really calm and even encouraging about just having fun in the water. Will rent from here and take lessons again for sure!

    Surf in Cabo is absolutely fantastic. Easy to book and ask questions through WhatsApp. Very responsive and flexible. Roco and David were amazing. My daughter is 4 and wanted to surf- they gave her a 1:1 lesson and David rode on the board with her- I felt completely safe with them and my daughter had a blast. roco helped me and my 10 year old- both of us were able to stand and ride waves within very little time. We can’t wait to go back. Safe, fun, encouraging. We felt that our teachers were truly having as much fun as we were. Would definitely return!

    My husbands favorite day on vacation. I was texting the owner on whatsapp for a few days before coming down to surf. We ended up taking a taxi from Cabo san lucas to zippers bar. We arrived and were greeted immediately. While others were finishing their tours they gave us an umbrella and comfortable chairs while we waited. We were give wet suits and a quick tutorial before hitting the waves. I have been surfing before in Costa Rica and it was a bad experience. But this time was different. The guide was amazing. Very patient and very helpful. We were out in the water and both of us were able to get up multiple times. This was all captured by a surf photographer Mario so we can have these memories to last forever. They had a small shower that we were able to rinse off in before heading to town for dinner.

    I never write reviews on any sites, whether it's hotels or restaurants or experiences, but wanted to add to the other 5 star reviews and give David a shout-out for how good Surf In Cabo is. I've done a lot of surf tours and packages in other countries and often times it feels like they're just trying to check a box/take you to a beach/get the day over with. Not the case w/ David - you can tell he loves surfing and teaching surfing and I really enjoyed our time in and out of the water, talking about technique/tips/elements of surfing. Also was great getting tips on the local area from him, meeting his family, and just hanging out. Instruction, gear, and surfing was excellent and will definitely do this again.
