Surf Lessons In Tamarindo With Local Coaches

They are excellent teachers, very patient, articulate, enthusiastic and motivational. We all were surfing within 30 minutes. Really enjoyed it. We were a family of four, with two teenage boys, and they all loved it. We booked for two days and got alot of sitting done. They kept adjusting it as we progressed which was nice. Highly recommended. Jayden and Isaac were our surf instructors. The best.

Junior was a good instructor. It was a good setting with nice sized waves for learners. Definitely recommend!

A local surf school that accomodated our schedule mishap. Surf instructor Jayden was amazing with his instructions and gave a lively, friendly vibe to our first surf experience! Great value for money.

We had a great time learning to surf with Jayden at Tamarindo Surf & Tours! Jayden was an awesome teacher and we all got up even though it was our first time surfing. Would recommend 10/10!!!

An incredible afternoon I spent with my wife perfect for the sunset with Isaac who was a great instructor blessings 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Me and my friends were verypleased with our instructor Jayden. He helped us and made the lesson fun!

This was great 10/10 would recommend. Our instructors Jayden and Bryan were great! They were incredibly patient and made the experience very fun.

Excellent instruction! Most of us had never searched before and Gustavo and Pedro we’re very helpful with the instruction and logistics.

First time surfing. 10/10. The company communicated well from start to finish. Our guide Isaac was knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. Started with an instructional overview of surfing, worked our way into the water, and by the end both of us were standing and riding small waves. Would recommend.

Instructor was top notch, very direct and helpful while being friendly and encouraging. Was our first time surfing and he made it all easy to understand and had us standing up in no time. Absolutely recommend to anyone thinking about it. Was also marked as a group lesson but ours ended up just being us so had lots of help and instruction the whole time. The showers at the meeting place and lockers being included were also very helpful.

Great experience with Bryan and Gustavo! They were encouraging and very nice. Would recommend booking with Tamarindo Surf and Tours!

We took our 20 year old grandson for his first surf lesson today and it was a wonderful experience. His instructor David gave him excellent instruction and before his time was up he was up on the board and successfully surfed in to the beach. Would highly recommend!

A great surf lesson with excellent instruction — I felt safe, learned a lot, and had an amazing time. Highly recommended! Thank you Isaac & Sofia :)

Mariano and David were fantastic instructors. Family of five all surfing after 2 hour lesson. Would highly recommend.

Amazing experience for my teen boys. They had awesome surf instructors and great pics! We definitely recommend booking surf lessons with David and Sara

Booked a lesson for my 2 sons, 17 and 13. They loved it. They have never surfed before and they now want to do it at home. The instructor was very kind and encouraging and 20 minutes in my boys felt confident enough to stand up. Would definitely do this again if we had a chance.

I did my first ever surf lesson with Jayden. He was friendly, encouraging, and patient. I had fun and am eager to try surfing again. 10/10 would recommend!

Had a blast doing this. Did not know what to expect as we had never surfed before. My husband got the hang of it pretty quickly. I stood up 3x and that's a lot for me and my two left feet 😂. Thank you Max, we had a blast!

This was such a fun experience! Jeremy was our instructor and he was so helpful in learning how to surf as it was our first time! He was patient and very nice! 10/10 would recommend! We even came back the next day to rent surf boards to keep practicing

Everyone was so cool and helpful. Brian was an amazing teacher. So much fun and so chill. I’m convinced they can get anyone surfing. We had the best time and will go out with them next year and every chance we get.

Amazing teachers Very beginner friendly we did the catamaran, surf lesson and combo tour with Tamarindo Surf & Tours. You should definitely book with them for your trip to Costa Rica.

We did many tours with Tamarindo Surf & Tours. Such as surfing, fishing, combo tour and catamaran it was an amazing experience. We had a blast. I highly recommend to book with this business. You will not be disappointed.

Great surfing lesson. We also booked a tour of La Leona with them and the staff was very friendly. They are also available and quick to answer questions.

As a family (2 adults and 2 older teenagers), only my daughter had ever tried surfing before. Louis, was a brilliant and patient instructor who had us all up surfing in no time. We are now definitely hooked. Tamarindo is a great place to learn, and the value for money was outstanding.

Had a lot of fun, we did a couples lesson. We booth stood up, which was great for our first time. David really took time to breakdown the steps and make it easy to understand.

Great experience. Loved it. Lean it’s a great instructor, I was able to ride many waves! He really knows how the sea behaves

This was my girlfriend’s first time surfing - she was catching waves within 30 minutes of getting to the beach. Very fun and easy intro to surfing. Would highly recommend.

It was our first time surfing and William made sure we get the hang of it and have a good time. We were able to stand on the surf board with the right technique and we had an amazing experience.

I was so pleased with my experience. David is an absolute great guy, very trust worthy and comforting each step of the way. I’m from Canada, so spanish isn’t my first language - however David’s exceptional english allowed for an awesome experience. Rest assured that he will take you through each step to becoming a (semi) pro surfer ;)

Our experience with David and Sarah was wonderful. The service was very formal and responsible. They gave us the necessary information to decide which surf lesson package we could take. Our 4 year old son really enjoyed the class and so did we. We took a family package. The experience was so good that we encourage you to do a full day tour that included: hot springs, canopy and clay bath. Our experience was so good that we would love to share with you that you should not hesitate to schedule some of their services with them and be able to have an incredible vacation in Costa Rica. PURA VIDA!!

This is the best surf school in Tamarindo ! I was pretty sure that I wouldn’t be able to surf ever in my life before taking a lesson with this surf school. I was able to stand up on ALL the waves that I took. I had so much fun with David and Sara, they are a great team. They are professional, and very nice people. I 100% recommended you to take a surfing class with them. I promise you will not be disappointed. They also can provide you a professional cameraman to take very nice pictures of your lesson for a good price.

Great surf school!!! Instructor who speaks French 🤟 an absolute pleasure. Thanks to Daniel and Isaac

My daughters had their first surf lesson in French with Daniel, whom I highly recommend. Very nice and gives good advice.

So much fun to tryout surfing with my son. A very interesting experience in French to really understand the basics of surfing.

We had an amazing surf lesson with Jayden! He first went through the basics on the beach where we all had to try a few times before we went out into the water. We all managed to get on the board and recommend anyone who can to book a surf lesson with Tamarindo surf & tours!

Welcome and French with a friendly young guide who accompanied my teenager!

Our surf lesson with Gustavo was just fantastic! He was super patient, motivating and explained everything understandably. We had a lot of fun, progressed quickly and felt safe at all times. Highly recommended – we would learn to surf with him again at any time! 🌊🏄‍♂️

Really a great experience! We were accompanied by Tony, Gustavo, Jayden, Isaac, Fatima and Sofia. Very nice experience, the children were well accompanied, they took the time to explain everything to us and make the proper demonstrations. Very friendly! I would definitely recommend Tamarindo surf and tours!

Nos encantó esta experiencia! Mi hermana y yo nos divertimos mucho! Bryan fue un gran instructor. Les recomiendo la experiencia a todos que quieran aprender surfing!

We loved our first surfing experience thanks to the wonderful teacher we had. The owner is also very kind and attentive. We definitely recommend this school for surf lessons.

My family and I loved Sara and her team! A few times we have done business with them and we are sure to contact them again! Surfing, catamaran, fishing and much more! The service offered is excellent!

We were served very well by this agency located on Tamarindo beach. We booked online with Sara, and received the services we expected. First activity: introduction to surfing, we received a basic course on the basics of surfing and subsequently the practice, all members of our group of 14 people (7 years old to 69 years old) were able to get on the surfboard with the help of Sara and her team. We did this excursion confidently and safely. Second activity: The next day, 5 hours fishing trip for deep sea fishing. Accommodates 7 people, we took two boats. Each team did their best to ensure that we caught big fish. For our boat, we caught: 2 mahi-mahis, a sailfish and a wahoo. Small downside, on our boat the seat was broken, which made fishing inaccessible to our children given the size of the fish, unlike the other boat where an 8 year old boy was able to pull out a mahi-mahi. Hoping this detail will be rectified. For the rest, we were offered a small snack, refreshments and beer. Great team, great fishing results, everyone was happy.
