The Best Surfing

Jonathan, Gustavo, and all the team are so much fun! I learned so much and had a blast in a few days being here! They made sure I was in a comfortable spot for my level and continued to give tips after my lesson was finished. There were a lot of people in the water but Johnathan made sure we did not have to worry about being in anyone’s way. TOM BRADY Y PURA VIDA!!!

Excellent instructor for beginners.

Johnathan is a great instructor. He led my wife through a great session, she had no experience prior. She rode countless waves into shore- large and small!!! This beach is a great place to learn, no rocks and small to moderate waves. Johnathan is the man! Highly recommend.

Fun in the sun with knowledgeable experts

Shaka surf was a great value. We’ve had surf lessons in CA but the focused attention of a semi private lesson was invaluable. The girls were standing up immediately. It was a much better experience than their first time. Johnny and his team were helpful and friendly. I’m happy to see their confidence grow. We received great guidance on proper form that we can practice on our own. So glad we booked this!

Jonathan did an AMAZING...

Jonathan did an AMAZING job with us (adult and 9 year old). On the beach, he taught a lesson on what to do. Then we went to the water and he helped so much with tips and physically guiding. Both of us got up many many times and it was such a fun experience.

Highly recommend during your Tamarindo stay!

We surfed with Gustavo, Johnny, and Gordo as a group of 6 friends and had so much fun! It was relaxing and low pressure, and they got everyone up! I would highly recommend a surf lesson during your stay, if even to say you did it! I feel much more comfortable now!

Thanks for your comment! we are happy to hear you all enjoyed!! PURA VIDA!
