Highlights
  • Restaurante Marlin - Initially, we dedicate roughly 10 minutes on the beach to demonstrate the proper technique for standing on the surfboard, while also adjusting your stance and foot positioning.
  • As we enter the ocean, I remain nearby my pupils, initially assisting you by propelling you into the waves, offering guidance to improve your technique throughout the session, and ultimately, you’ll be independently paddling and riding the waves.
  • My goal is for you to feel at ease and self-assured, so that when you catch your first wave, you’ll truly grasp the exhilarating sensation of surfing!

Best day ever in Costa Rica! - Tony went out of his way to make our experience special. Not only is he a fabulous surf instructor but, having grown up in Costa Rica, he taught us so much about the country, its history and the environment. He offered to extend our day with tours to water falls and places my son could jump from rocks into natural spring water pools. It was absolutely awesome! Could not recommend Tony more - warm, friendly, energetic and so much fun. He so clearly loves what he does.

Family surfing, waterfall tour in Manuel Antonio, Quepos - Thank you Tony, we always appreciate your hospitality and treating us like family as always. If your looking for a fun experience while in MA stop to see tony, his family takes pride is teaching and showing the local way. He had my 2 and 5 year old up on surf boards in minutes and we all had a blast between surfing, waterfalls, etc. Pura Vida

Surf instructor - We went out and actually rode waves instead of sitting through a long boring instruction. Seriously the best surf instructor you will find on Manuel Antonio public beach!!!

Excellent Day at the Beach for First-Time Surfers - Our day with Tony’s Surf School was the best day of our vacation in Costa Rica! My fiancé and I were lucky enough to find Tony and Ericsson on the beach in Manuel Antonio after a quick search for surf schools. After giving us protective shirts and securing our beach bag, they gave us a crash course on surfing basics at the beach. Within 10 minutes we were in the water putting theory to practice. We never surfed before but within half an hour we were getting up on our boards. Tony and Ericsson were both very patient, fun, and easy going, then went out of their way to make our day at the beach after the lesson a memorable and relaxing experience. I would highly recommend Tony and his school for first time or returning visitors to Manuel Antonio!

Great fun for the family - Tony and his colleagues helped us to book a catamaran tour of the beautiful pacific coast by the Manuel Antonio National Park. The booking and transportation were all done with great efficiency and professionalism. We had a fabulous time touring the coast on a beautiful day. We saw a mommy humpback whale and her baby (pictured), turtle, and snorkeled and swam. The drink, food, and the crew on board are all fantastic. Considering the tour included lunch and unlimited drinks, it is quite reasonably priced for family. Highly recommended!

Tony does it all! - Tony and his crew are the best! Not only are they so fun to be with, they know where the best of everything is in the Manuel Antonio area—best waterfalls, best cliff jumping, best surfing, best beaches, best fruit, etc. Book with Tony and you will not be disappointed!
