11/10 EXPERIENCE!!!! - 11/10 experience!!!! Would definitely recommend!!! Very experienced, kind and funny instructors who really know what they’re doing. After just a few tries we were able to catch the first waves and constantly got better within only two hours. The coaches were extremely attentive and gave us such good advice💯 The fresh coconut at the end was the cherry on top! If you’re ambitious and eager to learn how to surf you’re definitely at the right place!! Thank you very much and PURA VIDA🌊🤙🏄

Great surf experience - Had a family surf lesson with Joshua and Gustavo and we had a great time. Joshua took such good care of our kids and they were both able to stand up multiple times during the lesson. Gustavo was super patient with us and helpful to find the best waves for us to ride. Great experience.

These local professionals are just really good! - Awesome experience with these guys! My instructor Mariano was patient with me too. I really had fun learning surfing! I’d get lessons with them again if I go back to Costa Rica! Also, there was one time I was walking on the beach I got to see these guys kill the waves! They’re so good! And it’s a lot cheaper than doing a surf camp. Thank you guys!

5/5 would recommend - We had Miguel as an instructor and he got me and my brother on our feet within our first few waves. His 20 years of experience really shined through and made us relaxed and confident.

Jonathan is by far the best instructor and this was the highlight of my trip - I did a class with Jonathan. He is a professional local surfer that competed and knows very well how teach a very scared beginner. I don’t consider myself athletic by any means and he was determined to make me catch a wave and stand up on the board. Can’t recommend this course and instructor enough. I would say it was the highlight of my trip.
