Ezequiel Valverde
I’m Ezequiel Valverde, a surfer at heart and soul, with 17 years of experience teaching and a lifetime dedicated to the ocean. Over the years, I’ve not only refined my technique on the waves but also developed a teaching method that transforms beginners into confident surfers and helps experienced riders elevate their flow.
At True Surf Dominical, we offer more than just lessons—we teach you to read the ocean, feel the waves, and connect with the true essence of surfing. This isn’t a mass-production surf school. We’re a family of surfers, sharing knowledge, passion, and the thrill of the ride.
