Amazing Surfing Day with Tony's Surf School - Our family of 4 had an amazing surfing day with Tony's Surf School! Tony is so kind and he made a huge effort to make sure were set up with everything we needed on the beach that day from a tent and beach chairs to food and drinks and 4 great surf instructors. My kids are 13 and 11 and despite the strong currents that day I felt very confident that we were all in good hands. It was by far one of the best days of our 9 day trip. Thank you for a memorable day!

Tony gave us his contact and would greet us as we got to the beach and had everything set up. Get to know them! So fun! - Tony and Roberto are the greatest. We came back to the beach every day of our trip because of the fun and amazing service. Tony would greet us as we got to the beach and helped us learn to surf, boogie board, and was tons of fun for the kids. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Your Manuel Antonio trip is incomplete without a a lesson from tony! - Tony is absolutely amazing. I’ve always been a little afraid of the ocean so I was unsure about trying surfing. Tony made me feel super safe in the water. He also made the lesson really fun and made me believe in myself I can do it. His passion and energy for surfing and life is unmatchable. You can’t go to Manuel Antonio and not try a lesson with tony!

Definitely recommend for your first surf lesson! :) - Tony took really good care of my friend and I for the lesson today (Dec 18)! He helped us find parking at the beach. Good vibes throughout the entire interaction. Communication through WhatsApp to coordinate the lesson was clear and warm. We had big blue chairs to lounge in and leave our stuff on. The surf lesson was awesome. My friend had a blast and caught several waves for her first time surfing. The sunset is unreal at this beach. Would definitely recommend Tony's Surf School!

First Surf Classes - They Were Awesome! - I absolutely loved my surf lessons with Tony!!! He is so helpful, patient and friendly, and I felt safe the whole time. I had never surfed before, and I’m so glad my first 2 times were with Tony - they were both amazing experiences.
