If I could give 1000 stars, I would! - We initially chose Salty Smiles because it was very close to our bnb, and also because their sessions are 120 minutes vs. 90 minute sessions offered by other larger companies, and we are SO HAPPY that we did. We could not have asked for a better experience. This is a small business owned by a young couple, Bobby and Bar, who are both incredibly kind and knowledgeable! The two of us did a private lesson, which started with stretching, warm-up, and going over the basics on the board with Bar. Then, once we got the technique down we went to the beach right across the street to surf with Bobby. Bobby was extremely attentive and encouraging, watching our form closely and giving us pointers after each wave! We both went from complete beginners to surfing all the way to the beach without falling! It was easy to tell that Bobby and Bar do what they do out of love and passion for the sport as well seeing the smiles on our faces as we built confidence! After our session, Bobby and Bar sat down with us to give us advice for the rest of our time in Tamarindo to ensure that we had the best possible stay here! Surfing with Salty Smiles was by far the most fun we had in Tamarindo! We were both beaming from ear-to-ear on our walk back to our bnb and planning when we can come back!
