True pura vida experience! - Exceeded expectations, the BEST place to book your surfing lessons! David was a pro at teaching our group of 10-21 yr olds and gave us a wonderful personalized experience. He determined the time and place based on weather conditions and very generously spent a lot of extra time with us getting to a beautiful less crowded beach, giving us a relaxed experience. Everything was included: surf boards, wet suits, etc. and all 4 participating caught many waves! We felt like we were with a knowledgeable surfer friend vs a corporation churning groups. We also enjoyed the most delicious pineapple we’ve ever had! Muchas gracias, David. Book with him, you won’t regret it!

An unforgettable surfing experience - Here’s a polished and enticing review suggestion you could use or adapt: Jason didn’t just teach us how to surf — they made us fall in love with the ocean. Patient, encouraging, and full of energy, Jason went above and beyond to ensure Dan and I felt confident and safe in the water. From breaking down the basics to celebrating every small victory, the lesson was equal parts fun and empowering. If you’re looking for more than just a surf class, but a true adventure with someone who genuinely cares about your progress, this is the place to go. Highly recommend to anyone ready to ride their first wave or sharpen their skills!

Teacher with a lot of experience and passion for surfing - I highly recommend it. I decided to join a private class with Jason and in 2 intensive hours he has been able to transmit technique, motivation, and sensitivity to know the sea and the waves, noting clear advances from the first to the last wave. Best of all, you will be infected by his beautiful way of living surfing, I invite you to discover it for yourself@

Highly Recommend for first-time surfers! - Jason was an excellent surfing instructor for beginners. He explained complex techniques in a simple, easy-to-understand way and helped me gain confidence right from the start. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to catch so many waves on my very first sessions. He’s incredibly skilled, professional, and brings such positive, encouraging energy to every lesson. If you’re a new surfer looking for someone who makes learning feel effortless and exciting, Jason is absolutely the instructor you want!!!

First surfing experience - We went as a group and the instruction was great. He took his time with us and made sure that, even though there were four of us, we each received individual instruction. Would definitely book with him again if/when I find myself back in Costa Rica. Pura vida!!

Great experience surfing for the first time! - Jason was an amazing instructor! He broke everything down so well and I was even able to (very clumsily) stand up even though I had never been surfing before. It was an experience I’ll always remember.
