So much fun! - Such an incredible experience! If you’re questioning whether or not to do this- do it. I never thought I’d get up but everyone in our entire group did! It definitely is a little rough on the body- the waves are large and we definitely got water/sand everywhere! Definitely worth the experience though! Highly recommend. The instructors were awesome!

Wonderful staff, husband happy and a surfer!! - Carlos is an excellent instructor. He had a small group, including my husband, and did a thorough job in teaching them to surf. Sydney and Moida ( worked directly with my husband) was patient, kind, and helpful. Trent got up and surfed in a few times. At 62, there is nothing he can't do!!! High recommend 5 Stars!!

Unforgettable surfing experience - Absolutely unforgettable surf experience book this school! Isabella was amazing and worked with us as our flight was delayed and we had to reschedule to the next day.
If you’re coming to Costa Rica and even thinking about surfing, stop searching and book with this surf school immediately. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional.
The instructors are not only incredibly skilled surfers, but also patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your progress. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to level up, they tailor the lesson to your ability and make you feel confident in the water right away. I was standing on the board faster than I expected lol!
Thank you again Isabella + Carlos!!

5 stars for Carlos and team - Carlos was a fabulous instructor. He was very knowledgeable and gave details on improving my skills as a newbie surfer. I was able to get up on board!!! I had previously tried surfing on my own and am so glad I took a lesson. I felt that even in a group I had lots of individual attention. I would highly recommend Carlos and team.

Great lesson! - Great surf lesson! The instructors were super patient, clear, and made the whole experience fun and easy to follow. I felt safe the entire time and was actually able to stand up and ride a wave by the end. Highly recommend for beginners or anyone looking to build confidence in the water 🌊

We had a blast! The... - We had a blast! The instructor (Carlos ?) and team were extremely attentive and very understanding. Safety was always at the forefront. We had plenty of time in the water to practice what was taught on land, and even then we were coached on every attempt. I can’t stress enough how wonderful these guys were; polite, dedicated to making us surfers and just plain happy.
