San Pancho Surf Lessons: Family-Friendly Fun & Coaching

San Pancho Surf Lessons

Wildmex offers surf lessons at San Pancho at the South end of the beach known as “El Atracadero” or “Trocs” for short, while it is a fickle surfbreak only suitable for lessons on low tide and mid swells, when conditions align, it is a gorgeous place to learn to surf.

We strongly recommend Surf Lessons at La Lancha Beach over San Pancho, as it is a much more consistent and friendly break for beginner surfers. For this offer we provide a convenient shuttle service from our San Pancho headquarters to La Lancha, ensuring you surf the best waves for your level and have the best possible learning experience.

Booking is simple: meet us at our San Pancho shop with your swimming gear, and we’ll handle the rest. Whether we’re walking to the local beach or hopping on the Wildmex shuttle, you’ll have access to our premium gear, including over 400 quality boards, rashguards, and professional coaching. After your session, you can enjoy our HQ facilities with changing rooms, secure lockers, and clean showers. We look forward to catching some waves with you!
