Best surf in Tamarindo - We had an amazing surf lesson with Jayden! He first went through the basics on the beach where we all had to try a few times before we went out into the water. We all managed to get on the board and recommend anyone who can to book a surf lesson with Tamarindo surf & tours!

It’s a great way to experience the beach life and get in a little exercise! Don’t be intimidated. It was only maybe 90 m - Excellent instruction! Most of us had never searched before and Gustavo and Pedro we’re very helpful with the instruction and logistics.

First time surfing.... - First time surfing. 10/10. The company communicated well from start to finish. Our guide Isaac was knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. Started with an instructional overview of surfing, worked our way into the water, and by the end both of us were standing and riding small waves. Would recommend.

Great first time surfing...can't wait to come back and go againn - Instructor was top notch, very direct and helpful while being friendly and encouraging. Was our first time surfing and he made it all easy to understand and had us standing up in no time. Absolutely recommend to anyone thinking about it. Was also marked as a group lesson but ours ended up just being us so had lots of help and instruction the whole time. The showers at the meeting place and lockers being included were also very helpful.

Top surf lesson with Gustavo - Our surf lesson with Gustavo was just fantastic! He was super patient, motivating and explained everything understandably. We had a lot of fun, progressed quickly and felt safe at all times. Highly recommended – we would learn to surf with him again at any time! 🌊🏄‍♂️
