I came to Puerto Escondido as a complete beginner. I’m 55 yo, and this was my first time surfing in my life.
After my first two lessons elsewhere, I was struggling a lot with take-offs and felt discouraged. Then I booked lessons with OASIS and Charly, starting from my third lesson, and continued with him for seven lessons.
Charly made a big difference. He was always calm, patient, and relaxed, with no pressure. He consistently chose waves that were the right size and quality for my level, which helped me feel safe and encouraged.
During the last three lessons, we progressed from the big blue beginner board to a 9'1" fiber board, around 80 liters. That transition felt natural because Charly guided it step by step.
Most importantly, I found myself genuinely having fun riding waves, which I honestly did not expect when I started.
I would highly recommend OASIS and Charly, especially for adult beginners who want patient coaching, good wave selection, and a supportive learning experience.
