EXCELLENT! - Communication before the lesson was fast and easy, everything happened as promised, I'm glad I chose this option. I booked a private lesson for my brother and I, and Mario was a great instructor. Definitely would recommend. Five stars.

Fantastic surf lesson! - Julia and Mario were so friendly and welcoming and instantly made me feel at ease. I was nervous about surfing but they were super encouraging! Mario was so patient with both myself and my husband and after about an hour we both got up and caught waves! We highly recommend them for a great beginner surf experience!

Exactly what I was looking for! - I came to Tamarindo to get better at surfing. I’d surfed for a year on a foam board in Los Angeles but I knew I had some bad habits that I wanted to correct. In the first session, Mario worked with me and two other girls to get us comfortable in the water and up on the waves. I was able to consistently catch waves on the foam board. He did a great job with cues and really ensured that we made the most out of our 2 hour session. I loved it so much that I ended up taking 2 more private lessons. By the third session, I was able to ride the waves sideways on an epoxy short board. I would highly highly recommend!!

Best surfing experience ever! - I have surfed 3-4 times at different places before but still a beginner. However, the experience at Costa Rica was just incredible. Mario was very professional and attentive. The method he taught us, both me and cousin who are both beginners, were able to stand up several times during our 2 hrs session. They also offer boats snorkeling tours but we didn't have time to do it this time. Would definitely be back and hire Mario and his team again to improve my surfing skills.

Actually Surfed! - I was able to stand up and actually surf a few times! Happy about the instructor (forgot his name). He is encouraging and watched the best waves for me. Tamarindo is the best for beginners!

Great fun surfing in Tamarindo! - Mario and Julia were very approachable on the beach from the start. They taught us the basics of surfing and we were able to catch a few waves. Overall, a great experience! They even let us use the boards later that day to try on our own.

Surfing in Tamarindo - My family of four (children ages 11 and 10) took surf lessons with Mario and two of his staff during our stay in Tamarindo. None of us have surfed before. Mario, Jose, and Henry were patient and very encouraging. We learned the fundamentals of surfing as well as safety while surfing. Great value for the time, attention and fun we had.
