Surf Lessons from Beach Angels - Surf lessons with William and Sebastian were so fun, and we were catching some SERIOUS PIPE. Plus Dante took us to a secluded beach we hadn’t previously been to. Thank you beach angels

Family Fun Morning! - I was scared to surf but the instructors are all so nice and explain everything very well! We had chairs to lay on during breaks from surfing and lots of water and pineapple! On the beach there are monkeys that are so cute! This was a perfect morning in Costa Rica!

Learn to surf with Dante’s!! - Our three kids had an incredible time learning to surf with Dante, Sebastian, and the other instructors! Each kid had a 1:1 surf instructor and they all caught some great waves! We all also got time to boogie board after lessons were complete. Beach location is private and beautiful with soft sand, warm water, beach chairs, and umbrellas. Professional photographer for photos. Highly recommend for everyone looking to learn to surf in Manuel Antonio!

Great surf lesson experience - From pick up to drop off, an amazing experience!!! We were a dad and two kids (12. 14yrs). We were made to feel welcome and at ease. After a thorough, but fun safety and technical on shore lesson, we were lead into the water with an instructor each. Even though the waves were pretty big, we felt at ease by the easy going and confident instructors. We spent an hour or so in the water and had the time of our lives, each riding in numerous waves. As we became weary from the enthusiastic instructors, made sure we were getting the most of the lesson. We relaxed in the supplied loungers on sure and were offered freshly cut pineapple. Finally we took the instructors advice and headed out to boogie board, until we couldn’t any more. We were so generously treated, we could have stayed there all afternoon. We would 100% recommend using them for any of your water sports needs, when in the area!! Thank you.

The best surf lesson ever! - Surfing was an absolute blast! The lesson was very informative and the instructors were amazing. We all had a great time and were able to ride a few waves. I would have signed up for another lesson if I had the time and would definitely recommend this surf lesson to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio.

An amazing day - We had a fantastic time! None of us had ever surfed before and we were a bit nervous. By the end, my 13 year-old was loving it and didn’t want to stop and I was proud to have even gotten upright on the board. My 11 year-old didn’t manage to get up on the board but the experience got him way more comfortable in the waves, rendering it a huge step forward. We each got our own one-on-one instructor. The lesson initially lasted an hour. Then during a fruit and water break, when we were asked how we liked it, I said it was wonderful but short. They offered to continue! Once we finished the lesson portion, we were given access to use their surfboards and boogie boards on our own. They were friendly and accommodating and kept an eye on our belongings to keep them safe while we were in the water. All this on a gorgeous, quiet beach. I found it well worth the price.
