Very Professional group; would highly recommend booking with them. When we arrived my boys were concerned about the size of the waves, because of the tide they weren’t that big. They encouraged waiting for about 1/2 hour till the tide was in and waves were bigger , which was a great call. Tommy was the instructor and couldn’t have more perfect for them; they had both surfed a few times before but he was able to give them some really helpful tips to add to their foundation of surfing techniques. Great group, wonderful location in Playa Langosta where it wasnt quite as crowded as Tamarindo. Great Experience!!

Rosanna arranged transportation from Las Catalinas and was very patient with me in booking the activity. Rollo and Maurice were great surf instructors and we all had fun.

Surfing lessons in Tamarindo were great! The waves weren't gigantically scary and the water was pretty calm. My sister and I decided to surf and our instructor was Tommy. He was very sweet and genuinely wants to get to his clients while he teaches you to surf. It was unfortunate our lesson got cut short because the lightning storms came. We still had a great experience regardless of the rain, also the rain wasn't too rough.
A Perfect Afternoon

We spent the afternoon, sitting at the beach lounge, watching our four grown kids learning how to surf….. it was an afternoon our family will never forget. The entire experience was fantastic, from the location, the ease of booking and most especially the great staff and teacher. Thank you so much for the memories. We will definitely be back, and Mom and Dad may even try it next time.
Knock it off your bucket list, ladies!!

You can do it! I am a 54 year old woman who never surfed before. I tried it with two daughters (19 & 22) and we had a fantastic time! Stephen (our surf instructor) was amazing! He had us all surfing within half an hour with his expert instruction, patience and picking the perfect waves for us. We had the next 1-1/2 hours to enjoy actually surfing!! The ocean was calm so they changed our lesson time so we would get better waves. Incredible sunset was a huge plus. Highly recommend for priceless family memories!!
I've never surfed before and this was my first time. It was amazing.

Thanks to Alejandro's holistic approach to deliver the surf lesson I was able to understand the fundamentals of this sport, not only the technical aspects but also the surfing etiquette and safety points. He leverages his knowledge from other sports to make the session more comprehensive. It was super fun and a great learning experience!
