Program
This surf camp in Sayulita will be unforgettable! During the day, you will be taken to catch waves and in the evening, you get to enjoy the magical and vibrant surf town of Sayulita. Sayulita has something for everyone: amazing restaurants, beach parties, salsa lessons, yoga classes, or just having a margarita at the magical beach watching the sunset! WildMex focuses on two main principles: safety and fun.
They ensure that all students have a solid grounding in surfing and water safety before they head out into the waves. They will continuously assess your ability to make sure that you are surfing on the right breaks to make your lessons as safe and as fun as possible. All the instructors are qualified, bilingual, and are lots of fun! Where ability levels are similar, you may also get the chance to surf in a group with other students, a great opportunity to meet other surfers from all over the world.
For beginners
Newbies will learn how to pop up correctly and catch their own waves, beginning in the whitewater and progressing onto green waves. Depending on your progress, you will have a 10 - 15-minute land lesson on the first few days to practice techniques. Then it will be time to hit the water with your qualified bilingual instructor's help. Your instructor will keep an eye on your progress and make sure you're at a surf break with the best conditions for your ability.
For intermediates
Surfing guides will coach you throughout the week, ensuring you are able to improve your surfing. You will explore different breaks, receive local tips from guides, and continuously improve your surfing with your coach’s help. Guests can try different boards from WildMex's collection of over 300 surfboards, meet great people, and enjoy a worry-free surf holiday.
Day 1: Arrival
You will arrive to the Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport (PVR), the optional transfer service will be taken you to your accommodation in the village of Sayulita. After driving through the beautiful jungle, you will emerge at the entrance of the beautiful beachside village of Sayulita. You will spend the afternoon and evening getting acquainted with the cobblestone streets and open-air markets of this old Mexican surfing village. You can settle into your accommodation and get a good rest after the traveling.
Day 2: Welcome to surf paradise!
After you wake up and have enjoyed a nice breakfast, you will meet the staff of WildMex Surf and Adventure at the beach location with your small group for the first scheduled surf lesson and be transferred on a 25 minutes' drive to the best surf spot: La Lancha Beach. For the first lesson, you will start with theory and everything you need to know before going into the water will be explained. After introductions and some land lessons in safety, surf etiquette, and basic techniques, you’ll be walking through a jungle trail to get to the beach and be ready to hit the water and catch your first waves!
WildMex expert instructors will teach you basic surf dynamics including wave selection, speed, and the pop-up technique. Your surf instructor will be hands-on to work with you individually and give great tips to improve your efficiency. By the end of this day, beginners will have caught their first wave and more advanced surfers will have perfected fundamental skills.
You will take the shuttle back to Sayulita and you will then have a break for lunch and a much-needed rest. You should take this opportunity to hit the fresh fruit stand on the sandbar or grab a seaside burrito since you’ve certainly earned it. Take the rest of the afternoon at your own pace to improve on the skills that you have learned or just go explore the beautiful town of Sayulita and see what it has to offer!
Day 3: Find your stroke
Your second day of surfing at La Lancha will build on the fundamentals you have already learned. Today, your instructors will take you to the next level by teaching you how to select the best waves, pivot, and optimal paddling techniques to catch waves by yourself. Get ready to move to deeper water and catch breaking waves! The latter part of the morning will be an open surf session to catch a few more waves and some one-on-one time with your instructors.
Now you will have the confidence and skills to move on to the bigger waves and different breaks that lie ahead! After the lesson, you can take the first shuttle back or stay longer for surfing and take the next one, and then have some free time wherein you can go get some delicious tacos and have the best margarita of your life while watching the sunset. Just ask the staff for recommendations, they know the best places!
Day 4 to 9: The real surfing experience
During these days, guests will go on surf trips. Depending on the current conditions and the guest's level, land-accessed breaks will be chosen to get you surfing. Instructors will take these days to the next level by teaching guests the dynamics of moving around on a point break. Guests will have a chance to catch clean long waves by themselves and experience long and smooth rides.
Day 10: Departure Day
