The perfect spot for your first time surfing! - Awesome spot for your very first surf! Right on the beach, Carlos was the perfect teacher, guiding us through every step and move to get up on our feet! Out in the water, two-by-two, we were lucky to have Caleb by our sides! He was an amazing instructor! Super patient, cheering us on, and making sure we caught our very first waves! Big thanks to both of you for such a fun ride! 🏄‍♂️ Pura vida!! Joss&Yllan

Great experience with awesome people!! - What a great experience for the kids (15, 13, 12). The beach instructor (Carlos) was thorough and detailed, giving the kids an opportunity to get comfortable and confident on the board before they hit the water. The number of Instructors in the water was a nice surprise (2 for 3 kids). They were able to stand up within a few tries!! They loved it!! The affordable picture package was totally worth the memories they provided… awesome pics!!

10/10 would recommend - Isabella was super quick to follow up on our booking and even offered to send us travel recs for the Tamarindo area. “Little” Carlos was a great instructor, and we both were able to stand up!! While Carlos was helping me, Steven also stepped in to help my friend get up, and she was super grateful. 😁 10/10 would recommend

Great experience! - My sister and I had a great surf lesson with La Muda Surf School! As beginners we were able to stand up and ride a wave on our first tries after learning how to get up on land. Whole crew is very patient and always have smiles on their faces :) Definitely book with them if you are wanting to get into surfing with beautiful scenery surrounding you!

I actually learned how to surf in 1 lesson - I’m so grateful for the time Carlos spent on land teaching us the steps. He really made sure to correct our stances and go over it until it was almost muscle memory- which meant, once we got into the water, we got in and actually surfed!! They even worked with me around an ankle injury and made sure I felt comfortable. This was awesome, and after one lesson, I feel confident to get in the water and try on my own! Juan Carlos was a great teacher in the water, he was so encouraging, making little corrections and getting really excited with us when we got it!! 10/10 would do again and recommend for all ages and levels of anxiety around trying something new! Also they take lots of pics on a telephoto lens as an optional add on for $20 cash. Super reasonable, she lets you see them before you decide too!

Excellent experience! Great instructors! - Steven was awesome! Great experience overall. We had four kids from 7-16, they all were up surfing within 30 minutes. They went out of their way to ensure each learned to surf and had a great time. Definitely will recommend. Thanks La Muda!
