5.00Everything about this activity was awesome. My surf instructor Gal was very professional and well spoken. He knew exactly when the wave would break in order for me to enjoy the best waves for a beginner. I then enjoyed a smoothie under the shade with the owners Sergio and Liam who were extremely kind. This booking was quite the vibe and I recommend to anyone who wants to try surfing in Tamarindo ! 🤙🏼 - Victoria

5.00We were all brand new to surfing, ranging in age from 6 - 50, and Junior and Liam did an amazing job. They were patient, encouraging, and made the experience fun for everyone. All six of us had a great time and will likely book with them again. Such a fantastic experience. I highly recommend surfing with them! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00The surfing lessons were great! Sergio took the time to teach us the basics and made sure we felt comfortable with the techniques. We then spent lots of time in the water practicing and catching waves, where Sergio was pushing our boards to help us catch the best waves! Capped off the experience taking a couple of photos to commemorate the experience. Thank you Sergio!
Even you can learn to surf and stand up

5.00Sergio was amazing- I took a lesson a few years ago and could not stand up but Sergio was so patient and I was able to stand and surf as did the two others in our group. We had so much fun and we are all in our 60’s and all of us got up on our feet- Sergio gave great instructions and continued to coach us through until we stood up - thank you
Super fun and worth doing

5.00Liam was great! I went with my husband and we both got up almost every time! He was very friendly and spoke good English! He made sure we were okay if we fell off every time and was very polite and patient! Would highly recommend! The smoothie at the end was also fantastic!

5.00Great experiences. All 4 novices in our group were able to get up multiple times. The instructor was very patient and helpful. And the drinks afterward were the perfect reward!
Great instruction, great value

5.00Sergio was a fun and patient instructor that was able to give me very specific pointers so I learned from each wave and got better over the course of just one lesson. Caught lots of waves in my first lesson. Great value compared to private lesson prices at other places. I did have a little trouble locating the meetup point so recommend getting very specific instructions.
