Book this experience! - Caleb and his team were excellent. Communication was easy and frequent and he took care to plan the timing of our lesson based on the tides so that we’d have the best experience. After a brief on shore lesson we were able to grit the water. Caleb and another coach from his team were with us the full time helping us line up with the waves and providing individual tips. Everyone was able to stand up and surf at least a few waves on their own! We all enjoyed it and can’t wait to surf again. I highly recommend this booking!

Best surfing instruction ever - Great experience. He is a great instructor and took the time to make it fun and safe. All 4 of us were able to get up on the boards several times during the lesson. He supplied the equipment and his instruction was spot on. Highly recommended!!

Highly recommend! - Have loved tamarindo for surfing and so glad to have found a teacher like Mao. Was a great experience, especially as a new surfer, but I also know a lot of experienced surfers who benefited from Mao’s instruction too. Great for a family experience or a solo!

Best thing to do in tamarindo - Mao is a super experienced instructor with a calm and encouraging demeanor, I’ve surfed with him as a beginner and intermediate surfer and feel like he’s great with all levels. Hope to surf with him again and learn more!

Tons of fun!! - Mao and Caleb were fantastic instructors, and made sure we had an awesome time despite a crowded beach and big waves. I was nervous as I have no surfing experience, but both instructors were super supportive and helpful and I had a really great time. I would definitely recommend their surf lesson, and do it again myself!

Best surfing lessons EVER!!! - I HIGHLY recommend getting lessons with Mouse surf school if you are staying in Tamarindo!! With 4 beginner surfers wanting to try it out, everyone was able to catch waves despite having not the best conditions. Both instructors were so personable and super helpful. The 2 hours flew by and we would definitely book again. Book your lesson now- you won’t regret it!!!

If you want more than the standard experience and just another surf school this is your guy! We will be returning again next year to go surfing with the entire family! Thanks, Mao
