We help you to live the experience

WildMex is located just steps away from the main beach in Sayulita, making it an ideal location for your Sayulita surf lessons. We provide beginner surf lessons, intermediate surf lessons, surfboard rentals and stand up paddleboard rentals, and guided surf trips to other surf breaks in the area!

Take control of the waves

The mellow sand bar in Sayulita’s main beach is an ideal surf break for beginner surf lessons, while the left and right point breaks have more to offer experienced surfers. Beginner surfers will be standing and riding waves by the end of their Sayulita surf lessons, while more experienced guests will improve their existing surfing abilities.

"We had a private lesson with Guiermo and it was so much fun! My sister, niece and myself. I’ve surfed a few times before and he was without a doubt the best instructor I’ve had. He would give really specific tips to each of us on how to improve (e.g. put more weight into your front foot, look forward), and was very fun and encouraging. The boards were great for learners, with handles on the bottom and markers for where to put feet. Thank you so much!!"
