Mike is a fantastic coach and surfer. He knows absolutely EVERYONE in town, chatting and joking with all the other locals. He´s been there almost 30 years, so you´ll be going with a local who speaks the language, knows the lineup, and can tell your about the tides and subtleties. Me and my friend are intermediate surfers and he set us up with everything we needed to have a great time – I´m confident the same would be true at any level, beginner to advanced. 10/10, highly recommend.

I met Mike just about 20 years with my first surf class and have continue to go back to him over the years because of his dedication, attention to his students and knowledge. I recently picked up classes with him again and had a great experience as always! He carries out a different philosophy than other surf schools and gives a lot of attention and personalized feedback. It doesn’t matter if it’s the first time touching a board or a season pro, he adjusts to his students and provides and great service! If you are going to surf in Mundaka – Mike is the person to hit up!

Mike is an absolutely awesome coach, we had a really amazing session together at an (atypically) uncrowded Mundaka. Mike called me into a couple of my best waves of the year and gave me some super helpful tips about backside riding. Mundaka is such an intimidating break, especially the first time out, so I would highly recommend getting a lesson with Mike your first day out (at the very least) so that he can give his expertise on the currents (which can be tricky) and where to get in and get out of the lineup safely. Thanks again, Mike! Hope to see you out there soon 🤙

We had an amazing experience. Me and a friend went together for a surfing lesson with mike. Mike is a very nice and relaxt guy. For me it was the first time. The instructions were very clear and he gives a lot of feedback to help you succeed. After i tried it a few times i was able to stand on the board while surfing the waves. This experience is really worth it and defenitely not the last time for me on a surfboard. We hope to come back!

I couldn’t ask more from my Surf Guide in Mundaka!
Mike is really helpful and a very experienced Surf Coach. Our Surf Session took place at the best conditions and day, suited perfectly for my surfing level.
If you find yourself in Mundaka and the surrounding areas, don’t miss out on this awesome experience.

We was working in Bilbao, We had 2 down days and decided to get an airbnb in Mundaka and after seeing the ocean we had to get out there. Being beginners we got recommended Mike. A few messages on WhatsApp and we was booked in for the next morning. Mike met us at 8am, got us suited and booted and relaxed. As soon as I was on the board paddling out I just knew I would enjoy it. Managed to catch a wave on my first attempt. We got individual tips and pointers whilst we was out there and it was honestly just the best experience I’ve had this year. If you are in Mundaka, Mike is your man. Get out there and enjoy it. Thank you so much Mike you are a legend.

It was our first time surfing, and we loved it! Mike is a great coach and it really helps that the surf class takes place in a small group. Mundaka beach seems to be a good spot for beginners too, since the sand beach is easy to access and (in our case) it was possible for us to stand in the water most of the time.

Mike is an outstanding surf instructor. My girlfriend and I contacted him on short notice during the offseason via Instagram. He was very flexible and taught us for two hours each for five days, just after we arrived in Mundaka.
We had a lot of fun and were able to learn some new things and get more confidence on the board.
