Absolutely recommended - Children (teenagers) have taken first steps in surfing and after 2 hours of lessons and tips from Sophie they could already do a lot. Enjoy surfing the waves. Were extremely excited. Absolutely recommended to do this. And then as an extra plus, quiet and beautiful bay.

The greatest surfing teachers! - I have always wanted to surf and I got that opportunity with Tuanis. Sofia and Rory were the absolute greatest teachers. So supportive and framed things in terms that were easy to grasp and improve upon. Plus they are genuinely awesome people who helped me with more than just surfing while in Samara. I would surf with them everyday if I could and I will do so again. I cannot recommend them enough.

Fun family surf lesson - We had a great beginner surf lesson for our family of four including our 11 and 8-year-old kids. Sofie and Rory were great instructors and had all of us getting up and riding waves within a few tries. They were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun. Sofie also gave us some great recs about other activities around Sámara, where to rent boards to go again on our own, and surfing at our next stop in Nosara. This was my daughter’s first experience surfing, and afterwards she wanted to rent boards and go again. We also enjoyed Sofie and Rory’s restaurant / hang-out spot Oasis, where we had two good meals and enjoyed the shower, pool, and deck upstairs. Highly recommend!

A fun and uncomplicated surfing experience - The four of us went surfing twice for 2 hours each time with Tuanis and learnt lots and can really recommend them. Sofie gave us recommendations on board types and sizes as well as contacts for the next part of Costa Rica (Tamarindo), where we spent time surfing too. A really great, feel-good experience

We had two teachers for... - We had two teachers for the four of us, great explanation at the beginning on land and then into the sea to practice. Both Sofie amd Rory were endlessly patient and gave good advice as well as cheering us on. Brilliant afternoon!

Best experience while in CR - Our experience cannot be put into words but I will do my best. OUTSTANDING, PHENOMENAL, EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS sofie is the BEST instructor and my husband and I had the best time. It was our first time surfing and we didn’t know if we would be good at it or not. But she was very patient and you could tell she was very skilled and very professional, but also remained personable,lighthearted, and fun. The other guide that was with her was very respectful, on time and went above and beyond for my husband and I. When we come back to Costa Rica, we will be sure to book this again. We learned so much and the high tide was perfect. they were also very friendly, punctual, and had great communication. Easy meeting place as well. Sofie was very kind through out the lesson and was willing to give us some advice and recommendations for “must-see or must-do” things before we leave. I will be recommending this to anyone that asks about my trip. I can’t wait to rave about this when I get home. Also check out their oasis shop they are opening up in Samara
