An Amazing Experience - We took our 20 year old grandson for his first surf lesson today and it was a wonderful experience. His instructor David gave him excellent instruction and before his time was up he was up on the board and successfully surfed in to the beach. Would highly recommend!

Awesome experience! - Really a great experience! We were accompanied by Tony, Gustavo, Jayden, Isaac, Fatima and Sofia. Very nice experience, the children were well accompanied, they took the time to explain everything to us and make the proper demonstrations. Very friendly! I would definitely recommend Tamarindo surf and tours!

Beginner surfing lessons. - Booked a lesson for my 2 sons, 17 and 13. They loved it. They have never surfed before and they now want to do it at home. The instructor was very kind and encouraging and 20 minutes in my boys felt confident enough to stand up. Would definitely do this again if we had a chance.

Great day on the beach - Had a blast doing this. Did not know what to expect as we had never surfed before. My husband got the hang of it pretty quickly. I stood up 3x and that's a lot for me and my two left feet 😂. Thank you Max, we had a blast!

Book your surf lesson here! - Everyone was so cool and helpful. Brian was an amazing teacher. So much fun and so chill. I’m convinced they can get anyone surfing. We had the best time and will go out with them next year and every chance we get.
