Up and Surfing In No Time - As a family (2 adults and 2 older teenagers), only my daughter had ever tried surfing before. Louis, was a brilliant and patient instructor who had us all up surfing in no time. We are now definitely hooked. Tamarindo is a great place to learn, and the value for money was outstanding.

Surfing and fishing - We were served very well by this agency located on Tamarindo beach. We booked online with Sara, and received the services we expected.
First activity: introduction to surfing, we received a basic course on the basics of surfing and subsequently the practice, all members of our group of 14 people (7 years old to 69 years old) were able to get on the surfboard with the help of Sara and her team. We did this excursion confidently and safely.
Second activity: The next day, 5 hours fishing trip for deep sea fishing. Accommodates 7 people, we took two boats. Each team did their best to ensure that we caught big fish. For our boat, we caught: 2 mahi-mahis, a sailfish and a wahoo. Small downside, on our boat the seat was broken, which made fishing inaccessible to our children given the size of the fish, unlike the other boat where an 8 year old boy was able to pull out a mahi-mahi. Hoping this detail will be rectified. For the rest, we were offered a small snack, refreshments and beer. Great team, great fishing results, everyone was happy.

Must try - It was our first time surfing and William made sure we get the hang of it and have a good time. We were able to stand on the surf board with the right technique and we had an amazing experience.

Fantastic Experience :) - I was so pleased with my experience. David is an absolute great guy, very trust worthy and comforting each step of the way. I’m from Canada, so spanish isn’t my first language - however David’s exceptional english allowed for an awesome experience.
Rest assured that he will take you through each step to becoming a (semi) pro surfer ;)
