We had a great time learning to surf with Mao!! It was the first time surfing for two of us, and all three of us stood up at least once. Mao was super patient and helpful with us noobs. He met us in the parking lot and was prepared for when one of us didn't have a long-sleeve top. Afterwards, he provided us each with an actual coconut that he cut up for us to drink out of and eat. If we're ever back, we will definitely book with him again!!
A fun surf lesson. They provided rash guards which was much needed!
Thanks so much for the kind words! 🤙 We’re stoked you had a fun session with us. The Tamarindo sun can be no joke, so we’re glad the rash guards came in clutch 😄 Hope to see you back out in the lineup with us again soon! 🌊
Amazing time with a great instructor that was able to balance different skill levels. If you’re looking for a quality experience you found it here. 10 out of 10!
Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re stoked you had such a great time with us 🤙 Balancing different skill levels is something we really focus on, so it’s awesome to hear that came through in your experience. I always aim to make every session fun, personalized, and memorable. Hope to see you back in Tamarindo soon for more waves. 10/10 surfers are always welcome back 😎
I had an amazing experience taking a surf class in Tamarindo with Mauro. He was very professional, patient, and explained everything clearly, which made me feel comfortable and confident from the very beginning, even as a beginner. Thanks to his tips, I was able to stand up on the board in a short time, which felt incredible. I also really appreciated the personalized attention and how supportive he was throughout the lesson. I highly recommend taking a surf class with him to anyone who wants to learn how to surf or improve their skills. I would definitely do it again!
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏 I’m really happy to hear you felt comfortable and confident from the start, that’s always the goal, especially for beginners. Stoked that you were able to stand up so quickly too, such an awesome feeling! 🌊🔥 I always try to keep things clear, supportive, and personalized, so it means a lot that you appreciated that. Hope to see you back in the water soon for more waves 🤙 — Mao
Exc Mao, my son of 9 managed with him to grab the best waves, the best instruction and made the best of potential my Chiqui, we want to come back soon!
¡Muchísimas gracias! 🙌 Qué alegría leer esto 😊 Me encantó surfear con tu hijo y agarrar esas olas, tiene muchísimo potencial y muy buena actitud en el agua 🌊🔥 Siempre trato de sacar lo mejor de cada estudiante y que se diviertan en el proceso, así que me alegra mucho saber que lo disfrutaron. ¡Aquí los espero para la próxima sesión! 🤙 Pura vida, — Mao
Mao from Mousehead Surf School in Tamarindo is the best. I spent three days with him and he gave very in depth tips taking me from raw beginner with white water to intermediate level riding greens. Learning how to read the waves before they come. He was very hospitable and very patient. Very personable and very detail oriented. He carried to my specific needs and helped me progress!
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙏 It was awesome spending those three days with you and seeing your progression from white water to riding green waves, that’s what it’s all about! I’m really glad the tips and focus on reading the waves helped you level up. I always try to adapt to each surfer and give that extra attention to detail, so it means a lot to hear that made a difference for you. Keep surfing and hope to see you back in Tamarindo soon 🌊🤙 — Mao
We had the best time with Mao and Leo this morning! My husband and 18-year-old son and I had a private lesson and it was absolutely fantastic. They were kind, supportive, informative, helpful and we all were able to get up and enjoyed our lesson. Would absolutely go again with Mao. It was nice that it was just us and not a big group of strangers. Lots of hands-on help. Thanks, Mao and Leo! Pura Vida! Mariam, Scott and Quinlan
Thank you so much guys! 🙌 It was such a pleasure surfing with you guys. We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the private lesson and felt supported the whole time, that’s exactly the experience we aim to create. Stoked that all of you got up and had fun out there! We love keeping it personal, so it means a lot that you appreciated that. Hope to see you back in the water with us again soon 🌊🤙 Pura Vida! — Mao & Leo
A freak! We stop in 15 minutes!
¡Muchísimas gracias! 🙌 Me alegra un montón escuchar que se pararon tan rápido, ¡15 minutos es de cracks! 🔥 Siempre trato de que cada clase sea divertida, segura y que salgan surfeando desde el primer día. Pura vida y aquí los espero para la próxima ola 🌊🤙 — Mao
Very good guide! We met Mao on the beach and we were offered a pretty nice first surf lesson. We was really nice and help us surf our first wave 🌊
Mao was amazing! We brought our four kids to learn to surf for the very first time and everyone including adults were successful by the end! Mao was extremely patient and fun at the same time. Highly recommend! Thanks again Mao!
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙌 It was such a pleasure having your whole family out there with me. I’m really happy to hear that everyone, kids and adults, had success and enjoyed their first time surfing 🤙 That’s always the goal. You all brought such great energy to the lesson, which makes it even more fun for me too. Hope to see you back in Tamarindo for another session soon. Pura vida! 🌊🏄♂️
