I had a great experience! Instructors were very friendly and patient. They explained things well and had me up on the board quick. The supplied rash guard was a lifesaver. I hope I get back to Jaco to surf with them again!

We had an amazing time during our surfing lesson! David took his time explaining everything clearly and made sure we felt comfortable and confident in the water. The experience was well organized from start to finish—they even offered pickup and drop-off, which made it super convenient. We also really appreciated being able to hang out on the beach until we were done. Such a fun, relaxed, and memorable experience. Highly recommend! 🌊🏄♂️

Great crew of guys! This was my son's 1st time surfing. We arranged a lesson for his 15th birthday. The guys were great at looking out for all of us while in the water. The owner stayed in contact to make sure we were having a good time. Parking at the meeting point and beach chairs/ umbrella were greatly appreciated. The camera guy was also great. Awesome price for several professional pictures of my son's surfing experience. Would highly recommend!

Really awesome experience from start to finish. These guys want to make sure everyone is safe, everyone catches waves and everyone has a really good time. The work really hard to ensure the above. This is not tourist trap but a couple of very genuine people trying to share what they love, surfing and Jaco beach, with as many people as possible. We can not recommend them high enough.

Amazing trainers! We went as a family of 5 and we all made it up! Our 9 year old and 11 year old think they are professionals now! Communication was great from the booking to the end. Highly recommend.

Great experience! Our instructor Giovanni was awesome, my brother and I had some pass surfing experience and he did a great job of coaching us and building our skills. We would 100% do it again with these guys.
