It was my most beautiful surf - hours ever. Hugo, my surf instructor, was great. He gave me a good briefing and valuable tips in the water π πππββοΈπππ

This place was amazing! I had the best time learning how to surf and my instructor was so great that I was catching tons of waves by myself by the end of the 2 hours. Awesome experience and I definitely recommend it. I would say I'll be coming back but I don't think I'll need to! Thanks Brian (I think thats what his name was)

Frank and Bryan were very helpful and did a great job! My child (13yrs) had a lot of fun and was able to surf the waves a couple of times!!!

Frank and his crew are top notch instructors. We were a group of six from never have surfed to experienced surfer. The novice surfers were able to get up and surf and those with more experience learned new tricks. The instructions were easy to understand and right on point. We highly recommend Pura Vita surf school. It was so much fun!

We paid for 2 hours for our 2 girl, ages 10 and 12. They loved the whole experience and are already asking to come back!! They had 2 different instructors each hour, but they loved Skyler the most because he was always telling them when was the perfect moment to stand up and kept talking to them about how cool surfing is.... They started as soon as we got there and the experience was worth every penny. We definitely recommend them! Pura Vida πββοΈ

I took my 16 year old daughter for a 2 hour private lesson. She was actually surfing within minutes. I still can't believe it. Chris worked with her patiently for 2 hours to continue to teach her more and more. Definitely worth the time and money. We plan to go back in September when the waves are a little bigger for Moe instruction. You will walk away knowing how to surf.

Pura Vida Surf School is top-notch! Franky spent two hours with our 10 yr old daughter and she loved every minute of it - not to mention she was able to surf on her own at its conclusion. Heβs very professional and wonderful with kids. Canβt say enough positive things about this experience.

We happened to see Frankie giving lessons to two young girls while we were at the beach. On a whim we signed up our 15-year old for the next day. Frankie did a great job of explaining things and having her stretch prior to getting on the water. He is a former lifeguard, and we appreciated the time and patience he had. Our daughter got up quickly and had a great time. We recommend the two hour lesson so you have adequate time in the water. His photographer took pics and we bought them for an extra fee.

Franky is an awesome and patient instructor! I have always dreamed of surfing. By the end of the lesson, I was surfing ! The lesson helped my body boarding tremendously, too.
