Lady Gaga got herself a real Mexican Wave during a visit to the North American nation.

The superstar singer, 25, was pictured learning to surf with some friends this week and she appeared to take to it like a duck to water in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Gaga, real name Stefani Germanotta, managed to maintain her footing while riding a medium sized wave gliding through the water and keeping her balance in elegant style.

The Bad Romance star wore a small wetsuit while out on the water, but soon decided to sack it off and switch to a miniscule two piece black bikini.

She then returned to the water in her tiny swimwear, which appeared to give her more room for maneuver and would have pleased her large army of admirers.

It certainly 𝑠e𝑥ed up an otherwise run of the mill day of surfing at the Mexican beach.

According to a source who spoke to The Sun newspaper, and as can be seen in the pictures, Gaga took to surfing with ease.

The source apparently said: ‘For a relative beginner she took to surfing really well.

‘She started quite slowly learning how to body-board and then she was able to work up to standing – she made excellent progress.

‘She has been very relaxed since she arrived at the resort and is looking to unwind from her punishing timetable on the road.’

Gaga is usually more likely to be surfing crowds than waves, but it’s clear she has an aptitude for using surfboards.

She allegedly splashed out on a £4,250-a-night hotel suite in Mexico, with insiders claiming her surfing lesson cost £145.

As well as learning to surf, Gaga unveiled the promo to her new single, You And I, earlier this week – in which she appears dressed as a man and a topless mermaid.
