About This Tour
Experience Tunco Beach’s amazing waves with a 1.5-hour surf lesson right in the heart of Surf City. Jump into the warm Pacific for your very first session and learn the basics: paddling, popping up, balance, and catching your first wave in a friendly, beginner-friendly break. If you already know the basics, we’ve got you too—the local instructors will take you out to the right spot and help you level up fast: reading the swell, choosing the right wave, improving your technique, and riding with confidence.
