My 11 yr old son and I... - My 11 yr old son and I had a lesson with Jonathan. Jonathan is a great instructor. We got off to a slow start, but Jonathan was patient with us and we eventually caught a bunch of waves. My son appreciated the coach tips that Jonathan gave to him to help him stay up on his board. I was finally able to catch a decent wave on my own with assistance! We got some cold freshing fruit drinks after our lesson which was a great end to our lesson!! Would highly recommend Jonathan. My son and I learned a lot from Jonathan.

Super friendly and a great first lesson - 5 star outfit. Personal attention and great instruction. Have tried surfing a few times before but Johnny was the first to help me catch my first waves. Took the lesson with my daughter and she had success too. They are located right on the beach which was also nice. Thanks!

Amazing! I recommend! - It was absolutely amazing! I never thought I would be able to surf but Andre and Pablo were great. They explained everything clearly, made sure I understood what to do and Pablo and I went to the water. I was able to ride the wave during my first class! What a rush! I ended up having three lessons with Pablo - the last one was the best! Sunset and catamarans behind me and I was riding the waves to the shore❤️🤙 Amazing!

Amazing Experience - What an amazing experience! Andric and his crew were absolutely incredible! Our family of 4, really were treated to a fabulous morning of surfing. This was our first day of surfing, we had great instructors and we hope to be back sometime to do this again. The crew definitely went above and beyond to make this a very memorable experience. This was the highlight of our trip. We would HIGHLY recommend Blue Wave Surf &Tour in Tamarindo. Thank you so much. Pura Vida.

Friendly and accommodating! - So much fun! First, I have to say that I booked the wrong date by accident and immediately messaged the company to ask to change the date. Even though it was less than 24 hours away, the guys were super accommodating and understanding. We had no problem finding them on the beach and they got my husband and 13 year old daughter all set up and did a dry land instruction. It must have been good, because my daughter got up and rode a wave in on her very first try! After the surfing was done, my husband got a refreshing coconut water and my daughter got a strawberry smoothie. Overall, both said it was an excellent experience!!

Great surf lesson! - Had a great experience! My instructor Edwin was great. I was a bit nervous but he was very nice and patient. I Stood up on the board on my third try and kept going for 2 hours. By the end of the lesson I felt confident and pleased with myself for trying something new and actually learned how to surf, thanks to Edwin! Great value and so much fun. I think this is the best place to learn. Everyone from the crew was welcoming and very nice. Would definitely recommend!

Great surf lessons from the locals🙌 - Andric and his crew are fantastic! We are here on our sons Make a Wish trip and took a surf lesson that turned out to be the highlight of our trip. My son loved it (we all did :)) and out surfed us all while our instructor encouraged and stayed with him in the water until he was surfed out! Highly recommend for families, beginners and people like me who’ve dabbled in surfing over the years. We had a blast and learned so much. Thank you!
