What to expect

Meet your instructor in El Tunco, a town known as El Salvador's Surf City. Begin with a beach briefing, learning about ocean safety and practicing technique on the sand.

If you're new to surfing, start with ocean safety, board position, and the pop-up, the movement that takes you from paddling to standing. Then practice on broken waves with your instructor by your side, helping you time each wave and find your balance.

If you already surf, go straight to the water and focus on technique: paddling, reading the waves, positioning, and turning. Get direct feedback after each ride so you know what to adjust on the next one.

Finish the session with new skills, a clearer sense of your progress, and a feel for why surfers come back to El Tunco year after year.
