An incredible experience, much more than a surf lesson - Thanks to Vanessa for this great surf lesson! 🌊 Thanks to her patience and clear explanations, I was able to get up on my board from the first session. His energy and good humor make the experience even more enjoyable.
Thanks also to the whole team: Leandro took time out of the lesson to show me some things, and the other members were always available to answer my questions. They all exude joie de vivre and passion for surfing, creating a friendly and motivating Mood.
With listening and good advice, they give you all the keys to succeed quickly. I highly recommend this experience to everyone.
Pura Vida! 🌊🏄♂️

Perfect first surfing experience for beginners! - We had a fantastic experience at Uvita Surf and Tour! Our two boys took their very first surfing lesson and loved it. After a short and clear piece of theory, they were allowed to go straight into the waves, and they were both on their boards faster than expected.
Leandro was really great: patient, enthusiastic and with a lot of attention for the children. He made sure that they immediately felt at ease and could fully enjoy themselves.
An absolute must for anyone who is in Uvita and wants to get acquainted with surfing! 🌊🏄♂️

Super surf course with obvious success and lots of fun - Leandro was a great surf coach who taught us both surf beginners everything very calmly and accurately.
We have never surfed before and were able to surf/glide 30m meters at the end.
Leandro also brought delicious pineapple, water & sunscreen.
We would recommend Leandro to any surf beginner.
Thank you Leandro!:)

Excellent Surfing Instructor - We three family members from Canada (ages 61, 67, and 71) had a private 2-hour surfing lesson with Leandro. He was an excellent instructor. Friendly and knowledgeable, his instructions were clear and his teaching method exactly what we needed. We were all amazed that, with only a few tries, we were able to get up on the surfboard. By the end of the two hours, we were all able to surf all the way into the beach. Leandro provided snacks halfway through the lesson and again at the end.
We were all nervous at the beginning but were thrilled that we took the leap and got this experience. And we're planning on renting a surfboard in the near future and practicing what Leandro taught us. We highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning to surf.
Thank you, Leandro! We are very happy to have met you and appreciate your getting us up on the surfboard!

This was a fantastic... - This was a fantastic beginner lesson for want-to-be surfers. The beach was gorgeous. The waves were just right for learning the basics. The instructor was very experienced and helpful - the kids had a blast. The pineapple was amazing and cold water was provided. Thank you David! Pura Vida 🇨🇷🏄♂️🌊

Unforgettable Surfing Experience with Leandro! - I had an incredible time at my surf lesson with Leandro! From the very beginning, he created a relaxed and motivating atmosphere. His patience and expertise helped me actually stand up on the board – an unforgettable feeling! Leandro explains the techniques clearly and gives valuable tips to continuously improve. You can tell right away that he is passionate about surfing and truly wants to share that excitement with his students.
I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor and highly recommend Leandro to anyone who wants to learn how to surf or improve their skills. Thank you for this unforgettable experience! I’ll definitely be back!

Surf lesson was so helpful - The surf lesson with Leandro was really good. I loved his "simulator". While on the sand, he went through how to get onto the board and stand up, with a simple 4 step process. Then he simulated being on a wave by picking up the tail of the board and moving it, giving some much needed balance practice.
Much to my surprise, I got up on the very first wave, and many more after that. A fun activity, that would set me up to rent a board independently later (but I sadly didn't have time)

The best surf lesson - A truly unique experience and actually the highlight of my trip to Costa Rica.
Leandro is not only very good at explaining things, you can also feel his passion and energy for the sport. His commitment and motivation can be felt in and out of the water. The lessons are well prepared, beginners learn a lot and quickly make great progress thanks to the helpful tips. Even if you start from zero, Leandro takes the time to explain everything to everyone, no matter how often. I felt safe, comfortable and in the best of hands at all times. Leandro's dynamic, funny and open mind makes everything much more entertaining.
Definitely a reason to stay longer in Uvita!
Gracias por todo :)
