Book with Glen! - Glen's Surf School was amazing! It was just the 3 of us (we did not book in advance, just popped in later in the day) and we got two instructors. One instructor for my husband and me, and one instructor for our 13-year-old daughter. We loved that she had one-on-one help for the hour. They were very kind and very very helpfu, as this was our first time surfing. Afterwards, the owner gave us chairs to use on the beach. The next day, they let us borrow a bodyboard and chairs again. Fantastic family and staff.

Best surf lesson I could imagine - The best. My first surf lesson, and I was nervous. But the owner and his brother (who's a professional surfer and was the instructor) were wonderful. I picked it up much more quickly than I expected. You won't regret going with them!

Great experience! - Our family of four had a great time surfing with Derek & Sebastian! None of us had surfed before & we were all able to get up and ride waves thanks to the great instruction we were given. Glenn & his wife took such excellent care of us both before and after our lessons that we went back to rent chairs from them the next day. We would highly recommend this experience from a kind group of people!

Great surf lesson, terrible Viator meeting instructions - The surf teachers were great! Husband and daughter (21 yrs) thoroughly enjoyed their lessons. The instructions from Viator, however, are terrible. Just plain wrong. Waited for 20 minutes at the location (in front of Supermercado) and no one showed up. Called the tour number from app. Viator representative was rude and unhelpful saying “they are there” when they were not, because we were given the wrong location. The meeting location is ACTUALLY the surf tent on the beach. Go there and save yourself some grief and time. I hope Viator will correct their instructions for future travelers.

We had a great time... - We had a great time surfing in Manuel Antonio! The surf instructors were awesome! We each had our own instructor helping us to paddle out to waves and pick waves that we could ride. We went from never having surfed before to catching multiple waves in a little over an hour! This was a great experience for beginner surfers!

A great start to our Costa Rican experience! - If you have never been to Costa Rican beaches near Manuel Antonio before, I highly recommend starting your trip with Glen and Derek and their crew. They were very helpful to us, and very gracious during our stay. Our surfing experience was fun and very tiring, perfect after a very long day of travelling. Alexandra took great action shots of our surfing adventure, and I’m happy that we will have these memories to take home with us.
