Surf Lessons with Mao - I had two lessons with Mao and they went great. Super insightful instructor and very helpful for surfers of all ability. I had initially only booked one lesson with him, but ended up booking a second because it was so beneficial and fun.

Awesome surf sessions with Mao - I had an amazing experience with Mao! He was an awesome instructor, very knowledgeable about the area and clearly knows his stuff. I met him while surfing and did two lessons with him. He has a photographer he works with who will shoot photos during as well. He has a great and friendly teaching style, he made my surf trip one to remember and I’ll definitely be returning!

Best surf school in Tamarindo! - Second time with them and I can not be happier!! I've been doing intermediate lessons with Caleb, he has really helped me progress while keeping me safe, which has helped me get over fears and improve. The treatment was excellent, really recommended. They also took pictures of me with a professional camera, which is an amazing detail. Will be back! Pura vida.
