We had such a great... - We had such a great experience with the instructors. My daughter is 6 and has a fear of swimming. She was very nervous about surfing, but Giovanni was so great with her! He got her up on a board and she ended the lesson with a smile. The professional photographer on site was really nice too!

Highest recommendation - Fantastic experience. Learned how to surf from scratch in one lesson thanks to very attentive and helpful instructors. They also made my family very comfortable while I surfed. Great pictures to top it all off. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Best surf lesson ever! - We had the best day with Giovanny! Me and my friend stopped by jaco on our first day in Costa Rica. He had us standing on the boards within the first 10 minutes in the water. Even my unathletic friend was up on the board the whole lesson! After our lesson he gave us a recommendation for lunch and told us we were able to hang out on the beach after! He had chairs and a sun shade set up for us. He also told us exactly how to get up to el miro for a walk. Overall I would recommend this surf lesson to anyone visiting. You’ll have a great lesson and a great day at the beach!

Affordable surf lessons with fun instructor, nice part of jaco beach - We had Johnny as our instructor. Fun/informative and the beach chairs afterwards are a nice touch. Great spot on the beach and during the morning was not busy at all. Price was reasonable and the photographer who took the photos took great shots.

An unforgettable experience for the boys in Jaco - A most fatherly experience. My 3 teenagers 15, 16 and 17 took the 2 hours of surf lessons and their group was joined by a girl of 14. The four of you were happy. Instructors Johnny and Chatel very friendly, very clear and respectful. Highly recommended. Photographer Ivo, sensational.
