762P85G4+VXP - Our 2 hour lessons (min 2 guests) are unlike the other schools which are only 90 minutes.& begin with a 10 minute land lesson where you will learn, practice & get a safety talk . We then take you out for 45 minutes to an hour where you will always be with your instructor & learn to surf. Next is a 10 minute break where we provide you with fresh pineapple & ice water before going back out for the last hour of the lesson. You will be catching your own waves in no time as our instructors are among the best in Costa Rica & make sure you have fun.
We take children as young as 4-our instructors are amazing with children and we have had beginners as young as 75 out. At our secluded beach, we are the only ones there and you avoid the crowded, rocky areas of Tamarindo (we are right across from Tamarindo). Our beach is a sand walk out with no rock - perfect for beginners with great waves as well!
Our class sizes are no more than 4 students per instructor and we offer semi-private and private as well (ask for details).
We also take 150-250 professional pictures of your lesson and video as well (extra). The only surf company in Costa Rica to offer that. Come see why we are #1 on TripAdvisor.

Surf Fun - We had a great experience with Moho and the crew. Definitely will be back to CR to surf with them again! I’ve never surfed before and was able to get up every time.

Highlight of the trip! - Fantastic experience. Our kids both loved it and may have found a new passion. Johel is an excellent teacher and MJ and company run a first class outfit. Thanks!

Hanging ten at 67 - Johel was fantastic as an instructor. My grandson and I took lessons and my grandson was up on the board in no time. I made it up a few times despite both of us being complete novices! He is patient, encouraging and very friendly! Highly recommend Mojo Surf Adventures!

All ages can learn to surf with Mojo Surf Adventures - During our visit to Playa Flamingo, we (an “older gentleman”, a young adult and a teenager) had arranged to learn surfing for the first time with Mojo Surf Adventures. Our instructor, Johel, was great. Very patient and really interested in helping us learn. We had great communication with the owner, Tim, from the US and getting us setup for our days at the beach. We decided to do two days of instructions and that helped a lot as we got the hang of it after one day but the second day allowed us to practice some more and get a better feel for it. The pictures prove that even an old dog can learn new tricks. Definitely recommend Mojo Surf Adventures.

Amazing Surf Lessons! - Surfing at Playa Grande with Mojo Surf Adventures was a highlight of our trip!!!
Johel and William were are instructors and they were SO amazing! Super friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. Very good instructors. They made sure we were having a great time, feeling safe, and successful. We pretty much had the area to ourselves and it was beautiful. Mojo provides water, delicious pineapple, and amazing homemade banana bread. During the second half pictures were taken and shared with us free of additional cost.
We communicated with Tim, the owner, via WhatsApp and he was also great, personable, and very responsive, even though he was out of town at the time.
We followed our time with the afternoon in Tamarindo, a short drive away. Glad that we didn't do our lesson in Tamarindo as it was busier and the water choppier.
We are so happy with our experience with Mojo Surf Adventures and would highly recommend them!

Great Surf Lesson - We had a great time! Tim and his wife met us, lent us rash guards, left us in the hands of a very competent instructor and took some pictures. Had an 8 and 12 year with us. All of us got up. In the middle of the lesson, we had a water break with fresh pineapple and homemade banana bread.

First Time Surfing! - This surfing lesson was awesome. Tim and JP were great instructors for our first time surfing. They were very patient and gave great pointers as the lesson progressed. All of us were able to get up with their expertise. I would highly recommend this experience while in Costa Rica.
