I’ve spent a while in Hunchaco now and the surf points mentioned here are good, but I found one that I particularly like because of the profesionalism and good surf teachers called The Wave that is one Street down from the Indigan Surf school, right in front of the beach.
Hi Victor –
Thanks so much for your comment and letting me know about this surf school. I did find a Facebook page for The Wave. I will add them to my list here – https://www.facebook.com/thewave.huanchaco
Thanks again!

I strolled and the Wave surf school and was told private surf lessons would be 70 Soles or for group 40 Soles. If I wanted to rent just a board and no wetsuit it was 15 Soles. The guy flirted and told me about other tours then I left. The next day I stopped by a different surf school where the prices were much lower. Private lesson was 35 Soles and to rent a board and wet suite was 15 Soles. These prices are normal for the area. Watch out ladies you be changed more at the Wave – don’t be fooled by the flirty hot sales guy.
Thanks for the information about your experiences, Lulu.
