Super Fun Lesson with Sofie! - Had a blast learning to surf with Sofie! She did a great job explaining everything on land and in the water. We felt very comfortable and confident. Even though it was our first time surfing, we were able to get up almost every time! Would recommend! Side note: the directions to find their spot were a little challenging - follow their directions to a tee and give yourself a couple extra minutes to get there!

Fantastic Surf Lesson Experience - I have taken multiple surf lessons from different instructors, and Sophie at Tuanis Surf School is the best I've ever worked with. Her surfing intelligence is obvious immediately and she takes the time to explain why she is suggesting certain behaviors and actions in the water. She is patient and encouraging while subtley pushing you to improve. We caught several waves during our lesson, and (most importantly) had fun throughout the experience. I can't recommend Sophie enough as a Surf instructor.

Highly recommend! - As a complete beginner, my experience at Tuanis Surf school with Sofie as my instructor was 10/10. Sofie was so encouraging, patient and took time to explain everything well. Thanks to her, I had a lot of fun during the surf lesson and just after a few attempts I was able to caught some waves!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! - 10/10 would recommend Tuanis Surf School for anyone visiting the Samara area! A great beginners excursion for those looking to try surfing for the first time. Sofie is a great instructer and truly embodies pura vida! She thoroughly covered the basics both on the beach and in the water. Within a couple of attempts I was surfing in the ocean.

Best surf school in the area! - I booked Tuanis as a total newbie, loved it and kept on surfing with them my entire stay in Costa Rica. I left catching waves confidently in 2 weeks. Professional and friendly instructors & great vibes! 10/10 experience ⭐️
