Recommend a lot - Bego is the best instructor - very attentive, on time, the lessons are long are every time he tries to teach you smth new, pushes you to learn faster and always gives a feedback on every way. Next time I’m in Costa Rica - def taking classes with him again.

100% recommended - Excellent experience, Jairo was a great instructor. I have had a lesson before somewhere else so I can compare. I learned more in one day than I did in another school after a week long course. Jairo had a good teaching system, great tips and advice, he gave us 100% of focus and was great at explaining our mistakes and how to fix them. If we had more time, I would have taken the lesson also the next day.

Excellent instruction and a lot of fun! - This is SO FUN! No one in my group had been surfing before. The instructors made it accesible and helped us to feel successful our first morning out. Everyone ended up getting up on their boards! There was a 2-1 or 3-1 ratio, instructor to student. Highly suggest this if you’re in the Montezuma area.

Perfect surf school – great teachers & lots of fun! - Just great! The surf school “By the Wave” exceeded our expectations. The teachers were super friendly, patient and explain everything in an understandable way – whether you are a beginner or an advanced. The lessons are incredibly fun, and you feel safe and well looked after at all times. The atmosphere is relaxed, but at the same time motivating, so you can progress quickly. I can recommend the school to anyone who wants to have a great time in the water. Thanks for the great experience – we will definitely be back

First time surf lesson - Took a two hour surf lesson in Montezuma. I went with Jairo and another solo traveler to Playa Grande, which is a very large secluded beach. Surfboards were provided, along with rash shirts and a much needed snack. I was able to catch some waves which was great for it being my first time. What a great experience! I highly recommend this for anyone else looking to surf whilst in Montezuma!

Best experience in Montezuma - Nego and crew gave us one of the best experiences and was a focal point for our entire trip! From instruction to the setting to the overall vibe one or a whole series of lessons at Playa Grande (or beyond) with Surf School by the Wave will almost certainly be a highlight of your time in Montezuma no matter what your surfing level, including absolute beginner to expert. Nego is an incredible surfer, detail-oriented instructor, and absolute wonderful guy, and his crew were also outstanding. I cannot recommend them enough.

The must go place for surf lessons - If you’re looking for the perfect place to learn how to surf, I can’t recommend this spot enough! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. We went as a group of four, and the beach where we trained was absolutely stunning—a true hidden gem. The drive to Montezuma was well worth it for this experience. If you’re considering surf lessons, this is the place to go!
