Friendly Lima breaks suit newcomers learning to stand, and they also give improvers space to tidy paddling, timing, and balance under instructor guidance. 🎯 Key Details Duration: About 1.5 hours including warm up and around 1 hour in the water Location: Playa Makaha, Miraflores, Lima Suitable for: Beginners and improvers of all ages who are comfortable in the sea Group options: Shared or private coaching available Equipment: Surf kit matched to the day and your level 🧠 Key Skills Beach safety and reading basic wave conditions Paddling and board positioning Pop ups and body balance on whitewater Timing and catching cleaner waves as you progress Building confidence with instructor feedback in the water 🏄 What to Expect Arrive at Playa Makaha ready in swimwear with a towel. Your instructor starts on the sand with a warm up, stretch, and ground simulation so the pop up and key safety points feel familiar before anyone enters the water. Kit is matched to the day so you are not fighting an oversized or undersized board while you learn. In the water, coaching focuses on paddling, positioning, and balance. Beginners work toward stable rides in the whitewater with clear, repeatable steps. If you already stand, the session shifts toward cleaner technique, better wave choice, and more confident control rather than repeating absolute basics. After the water block, you head back to the beach to debrief what went well and what to practise next. Expect an active but supportive pace, with the instructor staying close enough to correct posture and timing as conditions allow. 📍 Location Playa Makaha sits on the Miraflores coast, where city access meets open Pacific swell. The break is known for approachable waves that suit first timers without stripping challenge from riders who already have a few sessions behind them. Miraflores is easy to reach within Lima and has cafes, viewpoints, and seafront walks nearby, so the lesson slots neatly into a city day. Meeting on this stretch of beach keeps travel simple while still putting you in real ocean conditions. ✅ Prerequisites No prior surfing experience is required. You should be able to follow instructor directions on the beach and in the water, and feel comfortable swimming in the sea for the length of the session. Bring a positive attitude to an active outdoor lesson.

No prior surfing experience is needed. Lessons welcome complete beginners as well as riders who already stand up and want cleaner technique. Tell your instructor honestly where you are in your surfing so coaching can focus on the right next steps, from first whitewater rides through to more confident green wave attempts. ### How fit do I need to be? You should be comfortable swimming in the sea and happy with short bursts of paddling and standing work on soft sand and in the water. The session is active, yet the coaching pace is adjusted to the group. If you have a recent injury, limited mobility, or any medical concern that affects balance or swimming, ask the team before you book so they can advise whether this lesson is a good fit. ### Is there a minimum age? The centre has not set a fixed minimum age for this lesson. Youth and adults are both welcome when they can follow safety instructions and feel comfortable in the sea. For younger children, ask the team before booking so they can confirm the right group or private option for your party. ### What should I bring? Bring swimwear you are happy to wear under a wetsuit or rash vest, a towel, sunscreen, and a bottle of water. Soft footwear you can slip off at the beach is useful for the walk to the sand. Leave valuables somewhere secure if you can. Your instructor will explain where to leave bags while you are in the water and how the session flows from warm up into the surf. ### What happens if the waves or weather look poor? Sessions rarely stop for everyday coastal weather, yet safety always comes first. If conditions are unsuitable, the team will be in touch about rescheduling. Wait for confirmation from the team before you travel if conditions look changeable on the day. ### How long is the lesson? Plan for about one and a half hours on site. You start with a warm up, stretching, and dry land practice so the pop up and safety points feel familiar before you enter the water. The main coaching block is around one hour in the sea, with the instructor helping on paddling, positioning, and balance. Exact timings can shift slightly with group size and conditions. ### Where do we meet? Meet at Playa Makaha in Miraflores. Your booking confirmation includes the meeting details for the day. Allow extra time for Lima traffic, especially if you are travelling from elsewhere in the city. Arrive ready to change into swimwear and listen to the beach briefing. ### Is equipment included? Surf coaching sessions are set up so you can join without your own board. Your instructor will match kit to the conditions and your level for the water block. If you prefer to ride your own board, ask the team in advance. Bring a towel and swimwear either way, and follow the instructor on when to enter and leave the water. ### Can the lesson be private or shared? Shared and private coaching options are available. Private coaching suits travellers who want more one to one feedback or mixed abilities in one household. Shared lessons are a friendly way to learn alongside others. Choose the option that matches your party, and ask the team if you need help deciding. ### What should I wear? Wear swimwear under any hired suit or rash vest, and bring a towel and sunscreen. Soft footwear helps for the walk onto the sand. Leave jewellery and loose valuables off the beach if you can. Your instructor will show you where bags can wait during the water block. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/908f02ad-21a6-4ed5-85b4-f8b0cf967f66.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 7 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
