Totally cool and unique surf experience - I am a beginner surfer, and I was in a surfing accident a couple years ago, so I was very nervous to go out for the first time since my accident. I also have never done anything “therapy” related, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Both Sherri and Veronica were calming, grounding, and incredible humans, and I immediately felt very comfortable! On land, Veronica asked about myself and my story, we set intentions, and she was very thorough with her teaching. Sherri also had an incredibly joyful and calming presence. She did a fabulous job of explaining somatic breathing and teaching us how to do it as beginners. It is definitely a tool I plan on applying to my day to day life. While out in the water, Veronica was super patient with me. She was my hype girl, and also gave me tips on how to improve. I have to admit, being out in the water is a humbling experience and surfing is not easy, but riding a wave and walking out of the water feeling accomplished and empowered is unlike any other feeling! I no longer feel scared. I love the added component of mental health. This was unlike any other surf lesson, and I’m so sad we had to leave the next day, otherwise I would’ve liked to book a second session during our trip!

Unique and holistic surfing experience in Tamarindo - This is truly a unique and special surf experience in Tamarindo! I was a little bit nervous about trying surf therapy, but Veronica and Sherri helped me feel comfortable and guided me through every step. We started with talking about our intentions for the session, and they let me share any emotions or physical sensations I was feeling in my body. I felt like the breath work we did was beginner friendly, easy to follow and it helped me center + calm myself before getting into the water. I think doing that also really helped me to focus on what my body was doing during the surf session. Veronica gave me some super helpful feedback on my surfing and while waiting for the waves we got to talk about all kinds of things. After the session I noticed that while being in the water any anxious thoughts I had before were gone and I felt so calm and happy. Finally Veronica gave me a journal to reflect on what I learned, how it felt to surf, any challenges I faced and any wins I had. Riding the Waves of Wellness is such a cool and wonderful company. I think they are creating something really special in Tamarindo. If you’re looking for a more holistic surfing experience, individualized experience, or an instructor that will help you feel comfortable getting in the water - this is for you. It’s also a Costa Rican owned business, and it’s important that we support the locals :) Gracias Veronica y Sherri!

Amazing - She is Amazing!!! 10/10 she is very nice, patient, and encouraging. She did a great job of explaining the technique on how to surf.

10/10 recommend - Veronica is so sweet and talented at explaining the art of surfing to first timers. Her instruction helped all 3 of us in our group get up and ride the waves (which none of us expected to be able to do). She was our hype girl and made it fun but also coached us the whole way through! 10/10 recommend

Best surf lessons in Tamarindo - Veronica is an amazing coach! Before getting in the water she has us set our goals and intensions for the day. I find this really helpful when I’m in the water to remember what I’m focusing on for the day. Once out there, she is very aware of how we are doing emotionally and physically. This helps us progress at our own rate. She has helped a lot with my form and efficiency so I can catch more waves! 🤙🏼

Incredible experience with Vero! - I had an incredible experience today during my very first surf therapy session. Verónica ensured we felt safe and comfortable while sharing valuable tips to improve our surfing skills. She helped us explore and understand our emotions/feelings to overcome our challenges in the ocean and surfing. Looking forward to make this a regular thing!!! ✨

100% recommended - Veronica was awesome, I’ve been surfing for several years now but this was a totally diferent experience. The breathing work and visualization practice is something no one teaches yet so important while surfing and in general, she also gives you a journal to fill out with your emotions and thougths, something completly new for me, reason 1 because i wanted to try it and it was really worth it. You should give it a try.
