I’m truly grateful to Mako for his kind and precise advice. His guidance instantly helped me fix the issue of being dragged by inertia after a snap, and I finally learned how to pivot smoothly!
That moment of success was pure joy — I couldn’t stop smiling.
After six months of surfskating, I’ve often referred to Mako’s professional videos to fine-tune my skills. Getting the chance to learn directly from him this time was such an inspiring and unforgettable experience. 🙏🔥
I started surfskate lessons with Juan to improve my surfing, and the progress was immediate. He is a truly a fantastic coach, provides clear explanations and always focused on helping you refine your technique. He breaks things down in a way that is easy to apply and more importantly he makes sure that bad habits do not stick.
Each session felt fully tailored to my level and his tips instantly boosted my flow and confidence on the board. I also got one of the beautiful Mako surfskates 🤩he recommended which has been a game changer and his online courses kept me improving even while he was away.
Juan is passionate about what he does and that energy really comes through in his teaching. If you are looking to take your surfskate or your surfing to the next level, I cannot recommend him highly enough!
We had an amazing experience learning surfskate with Juan! He is a very patient and motivating teacher — explains everything clearly and makes the lesson fun and easy to follow. We also bought couple of his surfskates, and it’s absolutely fantastic: smooth, high quality, and perfect for practice. Highly recommend both his classes and his boards to anyone who wants to improve their surfing skills or just enjoy surfskating!
I did a few surfskate sessions with Juan and it was a real game changer. My backside and frontside got so much better after just a couple sessions. It honestly leveled up my surfing big time. He explains things in a way that just clicks, and makes it fun. Totally recommend if you wanna push your surfing (and surf skating ofc) to the next level.
Juan’s surfskate lesson was amazing! He’s super positive and patient, breaks everything down clearly, and helps you focus on one thing at a time. It really improved my surfing, highly recommended!
Очень крутой учитель! Все очень подробно объяснял, хоть до меня и медленно доходило, внимательно и терпеливо. Я вынесла много полезного с наших уроков, в том числе вещей, которые мне помогают прогрессировать в серфинге. И просто приятный в общении очень, крутой человек.
I took a one-on-one coaching session with Juan this summer in Bali to support not only my surfskate practice but also my surfing, since I had just started learning.
During our lesson, he quickly identified my needs and delivered a truly spot-on class. Even in such a short time, I could already feel its impact on my surfing afterwards.
What I appreciated most was the depth of his attention. For example, before we even started skating, he asked about my warm-up routine. That simple question showed me how seriously he approaches the process—not just the ride itself, but also the preparation and the way you finish.
Another strength was how he tailored his teaching to the way I learn best. Personally, I learn by imitation, so his patient demos were exactly what I needed.
The way he teaches feels safe, calm, and fun at the same time. A balance that makes the whole session truly enjoyable…
After that session, I immediately signed up for his online program. Beginning those lessons made me feel well-prepared for my second surfing season.
The online course is full of detail: the video and audio quality are excellent, and the demos and guidance are clear, precise, and easy to follow.
I wholeheartedly recommend practicing with Juan. Thank you, Juan!
My best lessons and surfskate training were with Mako - I am very grateful to him for his help! I learned how to do a pump and ride high on the wall, before that I did not understand how to do it for a long time. I was so glad that he was able to explain it to me and I learned it very quickly. It's a pity I did not have time to get more lessons from him, now we are separated by continents, but I hope we will meet again someday))
I took several surfskate lessons with Juan — he’s a super friendly guy and an excellent teacher. In just a few sessions I learned to do solid cutbacks, bottom turns, and ride the ramp. He immediately corrects your technique and doesn’t let bad habits stick.🤙
Amazing time with Juan, what a great coach, he finds simple ways to explain how to improve and those Mako surf skate are lit !!
