This was advertised as a half day trip but we surfed for less than 2 hours and were back in town around 9.30am. The surf conditions were poor, and I understand it was meant to get better as the tide got lower. Begs the question as to why we were in a rush to leave so early, and makes it seem as though the guides just wanted to get the trip over with, rather than wanting to get us the best waves.
Deposit for Half Day Surf Trip
Hi Cameron, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the surf trip did not meet your expectations. The spot we visited is approximately 45 minutes from Puerto Escondido, and from the time we leave until we return, the trip usually lasts around four hours. We understand your point regarding the name “half-day trip” — it may not be the most accurate description since we are normally back before midday, even though the complete outing takes around four hours. We leave very early because this particular beach is often affected by wind quite early in the morning, and conditions can deteriorate considerably as the morning progresses. On the day of your trip, the earlier tide provided the best window for that location. Considering the overall ocean conditions along the coast that morning, our instructors felt this was the best option available, and one of the advantages was that you were able to surf the spot completely uncrowded. The decision to leave when we did was therefore not because the guides wanted to finish the trip early, but rather based on their assessment of the tide, wind, surf conditions, and what they believed would provide the best and safest opportunity that morning. We do appreciate your feedback, particularly regarding how we describe the trip, and we will take it into consideration so that expectations are clearer for future guests.

The guides (Charlie and Ari?) were great. Ran us beginners through a quick “how to stand up on the board” lesson before we set out. I felt prepared for the real thing. I caught 5 out of 5 opportunities for waves and rode all but one to the end and it was my first time! I was worried at first about sharks or it being too much work and I had nothing to fear. Would 100% do again.

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.

Thank you so much, Hiroshi! 🙏🏼🌊 Reading your story makes us very happy. Starting something completely new takes courage, and seeing you go from feeling discouraged to truly enjoying the waves is exactly what we love about teaching surf. We’re so glad Charly was able to guide you with patience, confidence, and the right progression for your level. Surfing is not only about standing up — it’s about feeling comfortable in the ocean, building confidence, and enjoying the process step by step. 🏄‍♂️ We’ll definitely share your words with Charly; he’ll be very happy to read you. Thank you for trusting Oasis for your surf experience , we hope to welcome you back in the future!.
