Highly recommend

Super attentive, professional, patient and friendly instructors. They worked with my 17 year old daughter and my 16 year old son. We booked a second day to a different beach for bigger waves and the service was excellent

We had an amazing experience with our surf lesson! The instructor was incredibly patient, encouraging, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we stepped onto the beach. They explained everything clearly, focused on safety, and made learning so much fun. By the end of the lesson, we were standing up on the board and riding waves. We would absolutely book another lesson!

Really good. The instructor was great with my nine-year-old daughter, he was patient and spent over two hours with her helping her learn to surf. She had the best time ever.

Family fun!

What a fun experience! We were a family of 4 and even though the weather was not the best, the guides did a great job! All of us were able to stand up atleast once. It was great, and would definitely recommend !

Large family

We had 6 first time surfers in our family. They did an amazing job, they prepared to have plenty of instructors on hand who spoke English enough to communicate effectively with our kids. Speaking of, our 4 older teen to adult kids had a blast. Thank you again for a wonderful morning surf.

Great instruction with no store front

The location is just on a beach under and awning with a few surfboards. Just one instructor when we were there but he was fantastic. Didn't do a lot of explanation initially just got you in the water quickly but did stay the whole 2 hours was a great instructor. Both are ladies were able to get up and surf and had a great time. No place to wash off your feet. No lockers. They just watched the stuff for you.

¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario y por visitarnos! Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaron la experiencia y que pudieron levantarse y surfear, eso siempre es lo más importante para nosotros 🤙🌊 También agradecemos mucho tus observaciones. Nuestro enfoque es llevarlos al agua lo antes posible para que aprovechen cada minuto, pero siempre tomamos en cuenta este tipo de comentarios para mejorar la explicación inicial y los detalles de comodidad. Somos una escuela de playa sencilla, pero trabajamos fuerte para brindar una experiencia segura, profesional y divertida. Esperamos volver a recibirlos pronto y darles una experiencia aún mejor la próxima vez 🙌

It was a great experience. It was one of our plans for our family vacation. 3 of us, 3 different ages and 3 different levels. Still they made it totally smooth, our son was surfing and my husband and I got to stand on the board. Lots of fun and personal push! We will look for them again when we go back to CR. Thank you guys
