About Leo

Hi, I’m Leo! A private surf coach and surf guide with over 13 years of international experience, based in Los Cabos.

I’ve coached surfers in surf schools, camps, private homes and five-star resorts across Europe, New Zealand, St. Barths, the Maldives and Mauritius. Working with everyone from first-time surfers and families to experienced and performance-driven surfers.

I hold an ISA Level 2 certification, a current lifesaving qualification and a degree in Health & Sports Tourism. My approach combines technique, timing, mindset and environment, because progress doesn’t happen by accident.

Brands we’ve worked with…

“I’ve been surfing for over ten years and felt stuck on the same level.
With Leo’s precise video analysis and biomechanical corrections, I made more progress in one week than in the last five years.”

Bastian W

Senior Manager

“For me, the step into more challenging waves was mainly mental. The coaching went far beyond technique. Through mindset work and breathwork, I feel calmer and much more confident in the water.”

Sarah M

Management Consultant

“My vacation time is extremely limited. Leo managed spots, timing and logistics perfectly. More waves, zero stress and noticeable progress.”

I was looking for someone who knows exactly which spot works under which wind conditions. Leo’s surf guiding was spot on and we were often alone in the line-up. The performance review with clear feedback and his Progression Path showed me exactly what to work on. High-performance service combined with high-performance coaching.

Rob and me were dying to score some real quality surf again together, but obviously the kids had to be looked after safely too. Leo took us parents out to the sweetest spots, while the kids got a playful but really well-structured intro to surfing. It was a truly unique and special experience that we will always treasure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is private surf coaching?
Private surf coaching is a 1:1 approach built around your level, your goals and the conditions on the day, rather than a lesson with a fixed curriculum. How we work depends on what you need. Sometimes that means your coach is in the water with you, guiding wave selection and positioning in real time.
Sometimes it means filming from the shore for video analysis, or working on land before you paddle out. The format follows the goal, not the other way round.
What is the difference between coaching and guiding?
Coaching means we work on your surfing. Depending on your level and goals, that can mean technique, positioning, wave selection, in-water guidance or video analysis.
Guiding means we find the waves and you surf them. We read the forecast, choose the spot and put you in the right place, but we do not coach you in the water.
Guiding is for surfers who can catch and ride waves independently. We never take someone into a line-up they cannot handle safely on their own, both for their safety and out of respect for other surfers.
Who is private surf coaching for?
Where are you based?
Do you pick up from my hotel or villa?
Is equipment included?
How much does a session cost?
Rates depend on the type of session, the number of surfers and whether you are booking coaching or guiding. Every experience is private and includes transportation from your accommodation, equipment for beginners, towels, sunscreen, water and snacks, and a full beach setup with umbrellas and chairs.
Satori Surf is a premium private service, built around one coach, your party only and the freedom to choose the right spot and conditions rather than following a fixed schedule.
If you are considering a session, send us your dates, group size, surfing level and where you are staying. We will share the appropriate rates and give you an honest view of what the conditions are likely to offer during your stay.
When is the best time to surf in Los Cabos?
It depends on which side of the peninsula you want to surf. From May to October, south swells light up Costa Azul and the East Cape, with warm water and long, clean waves. From November to April, the Pacific side becomes more consistent.

There is surf in Los Cabos year round, the best area simply changes with the season, swell and wind. We follow the forecast and choose the coast and spot that offer the best conditions for your level.
How is Satori Surf different from a surf school or a group tour?
Satori Surf is built around private coaching and personalised guiding rather than fixed group lessons or itineraries. Every session is shaped by your level, your goals and the conditions of the day.
Instead of following a set lesson plan, we focus on what will actually help you surf better, whether that means technical coaching, surf skate training, video analysis, in-water guidance or finding the right waves through local knowledge and forecasting.
