Awesome beginner surf lesson! - Richard was fantastic!!! We had a great time and he broke things down in an easy to understand way and got us riding some waves in no time. We will definitely be back for a more advanced lesson in the future!

Excellent Surf Lessons! - We had a really great time taking surf lessons with Richard! For the four of us, he organized a second teacher so that we could practice very effectively. All of us made significant progress during the lessons - encouraged by Richard, who is a qualified teacher and an excellent motivator. He is a very friendly person spreading laidback tico-surf-vibes 🤙🏻 This was definitely one of our highlights during our trip. Thank you Richard!

Great surfing with individualized instruction - We enjoyed a great lesson with Richard. We were a family of 5 with little experience. He had an extra instructor help out since we had various levels, and they worked with each of us to successfully get up on our boards. They adjust our start time according to the waves, which helped ensure a more enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend, had a great time!!

Great Time! - This was by far one of our favorite activities during our Costa Rica vacation! The location was beautiful and the waves were perfect! Instructions were super easy to follow! If I can catch a good wave or two, you definitely can!!

Experience of 10 - Richard taught us how to surf from scratch, he was super attentive and without him we wouldn't have been able to do anything, a brutal experience!
