San Pancho Surf Lessons

San Pancho Surf Lessons

Wildmex offers surf lessons directly at the San Pancho beach break. Known for being a short and punchy wave, San Pancho (San Francisco, Nayarit) is a fantastic spot for those looking for an exciting surfing experience right in town. While the waves here can be powerful and are often preferred by experienced surfers, our expert instructors are ready to coach you right on these shores when the conditions are suitable for your level.

We understand that every surfer has different needs. That’s why, in addition to our local lessons, Wildmex offers a convenient shuttle service from our San Pancho headquarters to the famous La Lancha beach. If you are a total beginner or simply prefer long, mellow, and consistent “green” waves, La Lancha provides a more relaxed environment to perfect your technique. Whether you choose to surf in San Pancho or take the shuttle to La Lancha, we ensure you get the best waves for your skill level.

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!
