Amazing for first timers!

A local surf school that accomodated our schedule mishap. Surf instructor Jayden was amazing with his instructions and gave a lively, friendly vibe to our first surf experience! Great value for money.

Best surf in Tamarindo

It’s a great way to experience the beach life and get in a little exercise! Don’t be intimidated. It was only maybe 90 m

Excellent instruction! Most of us had never searched before and Gustavo and Pedro we’re very helpful with the instruction and logistics.

First time surfing....

First time surfing. 10/10. The company communicated well from start to finish. Our guide Isaac was knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. Started with an instructional overview of surfing, worked our way into the water, and by the end both of us were standing and riding small waves. Would recommend.
