My three kids, ages 11, 8, and 5, had an exceptional surf lesson with Yazdany and two teachers. All the staff were both excellent teachers and very friendly and welcoming to our entire family. I would highly recommend this group for all surfing and and bodyboarding interests. Our family has been visiting Quepos for a month and this group of surf teachers was a highlight of the entire trip.
He is an excellent surf instructor. He has a lot of experience at sea and knows very well when it is the right time to enter or exit the water. He is a very professional person, attentive, and conveys a lot of confidence in each class... Totally recommended, 100%.
Excellent experience with Yazdany! Very professional and friendly. Explains everything simply; I felt safe in the water and managed to stand up several times during the class. Highly recommended for any level.
I had an amazing experience with this surf instructor. From the moment we got to the beach, they were friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to explain everything clearly, from safety and ocean awareness to proper paddling and standing techniques. What impressed me most was their ability to teach at my pace and keep the lesson fun and encouraging. Even as a beginner, I felt comfortable and confident in the water. Thanks to their coaching, I was able to catch several waves and stand up much sooner than I expected. If you’re looking to learn how to surf or improve your skills, I highly recommend this instructor. Their passion for surfing and dedication to their students really shows. A fantastic experience from start to finish!
Yaz was amazing . I am affraid of water but he was very calm and explain it all again and again to me and had a lot of patience until i succeed . It was one of the most pleasent experience . My husband was way better then me but because of Yaz , we both have a great time . Would i do this again ? Yes yes yes . CR ruleeeez 🤙 Pura Vida!
Manuel Antonio Beach is like a second home to me and my family. We have always rented chairs and umbrellas from Yazdany, so when we decided to surf we knew we were in good hands. He made both me and my sister feel totally comfortable even though it was only our second time surfing. The instructors/Yazdany are supportive and encouraging, and it's clear their goal is for you to have fun; we definitely did! 10/10 we will be returning!! :)
In May, I was in Costa Rica with my family and we visited Manuel Antonio. There, we learned to surf with Yazdany, and it was just awesome! He is such a great teacher, and even my father, who is 67, was able to stand on a surfboard for the first time. I can only recommend it further!
Very beautiful experience, quality waves, and welcoming, kind, and attentive people.
As an absolutely beginner, I was never scared or nervous because we all had such great instructors! The experience was so much fun and would happy go back to Manuel Antonio to surf with them again!
Great lesson and excellent overall experience. Prompt pickup and very clean and well located beach in Manuel Antonio. Yaz and the guys were great and we were getting up on the boards right away. This activity is great for kids and adults and the beach is an excellent place to spend the day after the lesson.
