Surf lessons in Lima: Certified instruction with video analysis

Learn to surf with certified instructors and watch your technique improve on video

Surf lessons in Lima pair certified instruction with brand new equipment, wetsuits and video analysis of your technique. Sessions run 90 minutes with a live guide in English or Spanish. Groups of four or more receive photography and video feedback to track progress across multiple sessions.

The experience

The lessons start with certified teachers who break down the fundamentals (paddle technique, pop-up timing, wave selection), and build from there. You get brand new boards and wetsuits included, so there's no guessing about fit or condition. The 90-minute format gives you time in the water to practice what you've learned without burning out on your first day.

Video analysis kicks in when you book a pack of four or more sessions. The instructors film your rides and walk you through what's working and what to adjust next time. That feedback loop is what turns scattered attempts into actual progress. You can compare one session to the next and see the changes stick.

The guide speaks English or Spanish, so language isn't a barrier to understanding the cues. Public transportation runs near the lesson location, which matters if you're staying in central Lima without a rental car.
