the OG surf teachers of manuel antonio! - amazing lesson! they waste no time, and i got to surf so many waves. when i went it was 1:1 instruction (less tourism in august, not sure if it’s always like that!) and i really enjoyed it! they’re great at giving you detailed ways to get better each time you get on the board. 100% my favorite thing in costa rica!

Great for beginners - Before you even get started, make sure and be prepared to tell all the other surf vendors who may approach you that you already have a reservation with Glen. They will direct you to his canopy on the beach. They were very patient instructors. It was a great time even though my balance issues defeated their great instructions.

Awesome experience! - My friends and I wanted to have one last excursion while in Costa Rica and we are so happy we chose surfing! This was an awesome experience with knowledgable guides who helped us three beginners get up multiple times. Would definitely recommend Glen and his crew!

Glen is the man - This surf lesson was the reason I will be surfing each summer for the foreseeable future. Glen is the man. He gives excellent advice and is very patient. The beach itself is perfect for beginners or intermediate surfers, and you can tell he is doing what he does because he loves it. I’ll be back Glen - thank you!

Surf lessons and cocktails - Glenn and the rest did a great job. Both boys were up on their surfboards quickly. Wife and I got beach chairs and a cabana, had a few drinks. Spent about $35 on top of lessons. Wife has a one hour beach side massage for $80. Highly recommend.

Old dog learns new trick! - Glenn and his staff are patient and experienced. In no time at all they had my friend up and surfing. I was even able to stand up once and I have no balance and was shocked they successfully got me to surf one successful run. Highly recommend them!!

High recommended by female solo traveller - Amazing experience and very safe. They have a tent where Glen and his employees will watch your things (so feel free to bring your phones & cameras for when you are ready) and they also provided a water and a snack. It was very first time surfing and I got up every single time thanks to Glen! I wanted to go back every day after I learned, but unfortunately got sick. Glen also rents surf boards and they take Visa. For reference, I am a female solo traveller and appreciated Glen and his team so much for picking me up from my hostel, being kind and patient, and most of all giving me the experience of a lifetime!
