Exceeded expectations - a fantastic Mexico surfing experience
Sander was a fantastic communicator and super helpful arranging a lesson for our group of teenage boys. He sought out proper water shoes for all the boys and arranged for transportation to and from our resort. Joe lead the class and he was incredibly friendly and gracious and the boys had a blast!

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
