Lots of fun connecting with a local! 10/10 - This was one of my favorite experiences in Costa Rica. I never surfed before and my guide made it easy to learn. So much fun!

Great experience at the first surf lesson! - Surf lessons were top and the location easy to find! Short theory with stand-up exercise on the beach and then we went into the water. At the end there was a fresh coconut, which rounded off the surf perfectly!

Awesome lesson! - Andric was the perfect teacher - super knowledgeable and encouraging. He made the entire lesson so much fun. I was a little nervous being an uncoordinated, out of shape, middle aged gal, but he made it easy. He’s very chill and patient. He got me up on the board right away and I had a blast. He even recommended some other things to see during my stay. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best Surf Experience... Highly Recommend!! - I HIGHLY recommend booking with these guys! They’re patient, fun, and make the whole experience enjoyable. I had never surfed before, but thanks to their guidance I was standing up on almost every wave. My husband and I booked a private lesson and enjoyed every second. We would have booked another lesson if our schedule had allowed it!

Surfing with the best🤙 - So so so AWESOME. Me and my wife booked a surf lesson through Andric. We were riding waves in less then 30 minutes in! We had Edwin as our teacher and he was really patient while hyping us up when we did good. Such good vibes with them!

Good surf lesson for intermediate surfer with watermelon smoothie ~ - As an intermediate long boarder, it's been a while since I surfing every day, the coach took me to the right side of the beach where the waves are more suitable for experienced surfer, and told me every time when to paddle and which wave is better to catch, and should I turn left or right, which is the things I really needed. Overall, it's a really nice surfing lesson, but it would be better if they could provide the photos(like have someone took photos for us, cause the photographer on the beach couldn't take photos of me because I am too far from the centre of the beach....😭😭🥺)

Great Experience!! - We had a great time! We opted for private lessons so there was an instructor for each of us. They taught us the basics and got us in the water right away. They are so patient and very professional.

Teen surf lessons - Excellent surf lessons for our teen sons.. they had 3 lessons with Jonathan.. he took them from being beginners to standing up in no time.. by day 3 they had progressed on to shorter boards and catching lots of waves.. Jonathan was friendly, fun and an excellent teacher. Andric who runs the surf school was also very friendly and let me sit on their sun loungers to watch the lessons.. and looked after our stuff so I could swim in the ocean and take photos! Boys were given a coconut to drink at the end of each lesson. Totally recommend this company.. thank you Blue Wave surf!
