Puerto Surf was founded in 2006 as the first surf school and surf camp in Puerto Escondido, „La Punta“. Over the years, it has received multiple awards for the quality and service of both accommodation and surf lessons.
The founders
Swantje and David
David grew up in Puerto Escondido and is one of the first surf instructors in the area. With over 25 years of experience in surf instruction, he is a passionate free surfer and deeply connected to the ocean. At the surf school, he is responsible for all surf-related areas.
Swantje is a trained travel consultant as well as a Pilates and yoga instructor. Inspired by Puerto Escondido, she brought the idea of a surf school and camp to life. Born in Germany, she now manages the majority of administrative operations from Germany.
Both speak English, Spanish, and German.
Surf instructors
All our surf instructors are certified by AMISURF , a local association of surf instructors. They have many years of teaching experience, are patient, friendly, and pay close attention to their students’ needs.
Our team consists of three full-time surf instructors as well as additional teachers from the local association who support us in daily surf lessons. All speak English and Spanish.
Office Team
