An afternoon of surfing and inspiration! - My family and I loved this experience. Our teachers were patient, knowledgeable and just awesome, caring guys. You could tell they loved surfing, the ocean and Costa Rica in general. Beyond surfing, they were inspiring! My husband has surfed before, and he said that he is so much better after a lesson with Jaco Surf school. All 4 of us were able to get up and ride multiple waves. Thank you Jaco surf school! Pura Vida!

A good time! - We had a great time. The instructors were very patient and we were all able to get up on the board and surf at least once, including my 6 year old.

Wonderful surf team! - We actually did not use the surf school, but I wanted to give a testament to the kindness of Javier Luna, the owner. During our travels last week, my son was stung by a jellyfish. Javier and his employees jumped into action to help. Javier even drove me, a complete stranger, to the pharmacy and would not accept a dime. They provided so much help and compassion, making a stressful situation a bit easier. Thanks to Mr. Luna and his incredible team!

Amazing Surfing and Day! - Amazing time, super worth the money and we hung out on the beach after the lesson! They give you the boards for the rest of the day so you can hone your skills even after the lesson. Highly recommend!

Best surf lesson ever - Awesome time!! Great lesson, learned a lot. Gave great pointers and showed us how to surf properly it felt like. My friend had never surfed before and was standing up in minutes. It was nice to have chairs and umbrellas and we could even surf a little after the lesson on our own. If we are ever back in Jaco we will definitely come by 🤩🤙

Fun and Easy - Our teacher was awesome, I felt at ease and he got us lined up on the board in the waves with simple instruction and we got up every time until we were exhausted. Highly recommend you try surfing. They make it easy for you! And if you're lucky he may even climb a coconut tree abd get you some coconuts for drinking!
