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.
