Fun family surf lesson - We had a great beginner surf lesson for our family of four including our 11 and 8-year-old kids. Sofie and Rory were great instructors and had all of us getting up and riding waves within a few tries. They were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun. Sofie also gave us some great recs about other activities around Sámara, where to rent boards to go again on our own, and surfing at our next stop in Nosara. This was my daughter’s first experience surfing, and afterwards she wanted to rent boards and go again. We also enjoyed Sofie and Rory’s restaurant / hang-out spot Oasis, where we had two good meals and enjoyed the shower, pool, and deck upstairs. Highly recommend!

A fun and uncomplicated surfing experience - The four of us went surfing twice for 2 hours each time with Tuanis and learnt lots and can really recommend them. Sofie gave us recommendations on board types and sizes as well as contacts for the next part of Costa Rica (Tamarindo), where we spent time surfing too. A really great, feel-good experience

Best experience while in CR - Our experience cannot be put into words but I will do my best. OUTSTANDING, PHENOMENAL, EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS sofie is the BEST instructor and my husband and I had the best time. It was our first time surfing and we didn’t know if we would be good at it or not. But she was very patient and you could tell she was very skilled and very professional, but also remained personable,lighthearted, and fun. The other guide that was with her was very respectful, on time and went above and beyond for my husband and I. When we come back to Costa Rica, we will be sure to book this again. We learned so much and the high tide was perfect. they were also very friendly, punctual, and had great communication. Easy meeting place as well. Sofie was very kind through out the lesson and was willing to give us some advice and recommendations for “must-see or must-do” things before we leave. I will be recommending this to anyone that asks about my trip. I can’t wait to rave about this when I get home. Also check out their oasis shop they are opening up in Samara

Best surfing experience 🏄‍♂️ - I booked a one-on-one lesson with Sophie. Because we were only two in Samara I had requested very short notice via WhatsApp. Sophie answered right away and I was able to go surfing with her the same morning. She chose the perfect spot on Playa Samara. After about 15 minutes we brushed up my basic knowledge, we went straight to the water. Sophie helped me find the right waves. I could surf almost anyone. A mega experience and a beautiful surf morning. Really worth every penny! 🤙

Woman-owned and perfect for beginners! - Absolutely fantastic surf lesson from Noldan with photography by (owner Sofie's boyfriend) Rory. All for of us newbies -- Mom and Dad (49 & 50) and two girls (18 & 16) -- got up quickly with help from Noldan and rode wave after wave into the beach. The guys were super friendly with great English and excellent teaching style. Thank you for an unforgettable morning!

Best Surf instruction in Samara! - We had an amazing experience with this tour group! The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable about teaching people to surf. After we listened to instructions and practiced on the sand, the instructor took all 4 of us out to help us with our boards. The end result after 2 hours was that all four of us(never surfed a day in our lives) were able to stand up and surf! If you want to really learn the basics of surfing, this is the perfect place to book;)
