Great surf lessons for our family of four

They are excellent teachers, very patient, articulate, enthusiastic and motivational. We all were surfing within 30 minutes. Really enjoyed it. We were a family of four, with two teenage boys, and they all loved it. We booked for two days and got alot of sitting done. They kept adjusting it as we progressed which was nice. Highly recommended. Jayden and Isaac were our surf instructors. The best.

Best surf in Tamarindo

We had an amazing surf lesson with Jayden! He first went through the basics on the beach where we all had to try a few times before we went out into the water. We all managed to get on the board and recommend anyone who can to book a surf lesson with Tamarindo surf & tours!
