The best surf lesson - A truly unique experience and actually the highlight of my trip to Costa Rica. Leandro is not only very good at explaining things, you can also feel his passion and energy for the sport. His commitment and motivation can be felt in and out of the water. The lessons are well prepared, beginners learn a lot and quickly make great progress thanks to the helpful tips. Even if you start from zero, Leandro takes the time to explain everything to everyone, no matter how often. I felt safe, comfortable and in the best of hands at all times. Leandro's dynamic, funny and open mind makes everything much more entertaining. Definitely a reason to stay longer in Uvita! Gracias por todo :)

Amazing!!! - Amazing! So much fun! Leandro was a great and patient teacher. I was really nervous and was able to stand up pretty easy! You are in shallow water the whole lesson. So I could touch and felt super comfortable. He also taught us what to ask when we go to other areas to surf, super helpful. Would highly recommend!

Fabulous surfing - Fabulous surf lesson. Leo and Gregorio were patient and safety conscious and made sure that everyone in our family received individual attention. We all successfully rode waves in. It was great! Would certainly do it again.

Surf lessons done right. - Leandro was wonderful to work with. Very welcoming and inviting. Had a nice place for my wife to sit comfortably out of the sun while I had my 2 hour lesson. He set me up with the information I needed to know before getting in the water. After the first hour we took a break and he hooked me and my wife up with a fresh pineapple and huge coconut water. It was a lot of fun. It was the best cardio workout I have had in awhile. Totally recommend it. When we come back I’ll get another lesson from him.

Highlight of our trip to Costa Rica - What an incredible experience! Leandro is the best surf teacher I have ever had (and I have had quite a few!). He is so friendly and knowledgeable and his English is perfect. We felt in very safe hands and had the afternoon of our lives. He taught us how to surf by ourselves - everything from how to attach a leash to how to turtle in big waves. He went above and beyond. Took photos for us and gave us some delicious pineapple. 10/10 recommend this! Highlight of our amazing trip to Costa Rica! Thank you Leandro 🙏 Pura vida

Soon to be a surfer - The lesson was amazing. We were a small group of three and he made sure to give each of us time to learn how to surf. Patient and kind, and felt like he took care of us. Lovely with fruit and water in the middle as a break, it was much needed. Very attentive! And I did learn the basics of surfing 🤗

Amazing and informative - This was an amazing experience. My husband and I never surfed before, but with Leandro’s excellent instructions we were both able to stand up! He helped us understand how to stay safe and have fun. 100% recommend.
