Wonderful experience for groups - We had an absolutely wonderful time, the whole team was incredible. Our group was all relatively novice, with some having minimal surfing experience and others none at all, and we all left feeling much more comfortable on a board. Everyone got up without trouble, and all the instructors made it easy and fun to do so. We'd highly recommend! Also you get a free drink at the end, can't complain

Book it - Can’t recommend this enough! Our kids had a blast. The instructors are 10/10 and you won’t regret booking. Perfect waves, amazing views and nice Costa Rican town.

Great instructors! - My best friend and I booked these surf lessons for our girls trip to Tamarindo, and it was one of the highlights of our trip! We had two young men helping us with our lesson and they were both amazing! They were knowledgeable and incredibly supportive. I was really struggling to figure out how to get up but the instructor was genuinely so kind and helpful. You could tell he wanted to see me succeed and when I was finally able to stand up on a wave, I turned around to see him cheering! The young men who run this surf business are truly the best and I would recommend this experience to anyone!

Deserves way more than 5/5 - Decided last minute try surf lessons on my last full day in CR. A quick google pulled up this business on trip advisor and all the reviews talked about how positive, kind and patient the instructor was. I immediately booked a lesson and I’m so glad I did. Andric was patient and kind while he instructed me, both on shore and in the water. He made sure I felt confident in each step before my first attempt. Andric has a very comforting and easy energy that allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and really try without fear of looking silly. He laughed WITH me when I fell and celebrated when I finally costed all the way in. I ended up asking to book an extra hour because I was having so much fun. Next time I’m in CR, this will be my first stop.

Wonderful surf lesson in Tamarindo - We had such an incredible time learning how to surf with Andric! My 10 year old son and I decided last minute to book a surf lesson and found Andric on Trip Advisor with excellent reviews. They are accurate. He was very patient and thorough with the instructions before taking us on the water. Through the entire lesson he was great at ensuring we were on the right waves at the right time so we had the best chance of riding one. My son was up on his 2nd try and never looked back… surfed for 2 hours! I was also successful though not quite as good as my son. The whole experience was perfect! Highly recommend Andric for anyone looking to experience this magical sport.

Great surfing experience - We were a group of 5, and we all had little or zero surfing experience. Andric gave clear step by step instructions on land first with lots of feedback and ensured everyone was ready before going in the water. In the water we were split into two groups and received individual attention. We were all able to stand up during the lesson. Very happy with the experience. Would recommend.

Great! - Amazing! Everything went smoothly, even the waves were helpful. The experience is something to try more than once, since waves are always different

My favorite experience, pura vida! - Andric is that dude!!! My private lesson was dope and he had me standing up riding waves almost right away. I appreciated the time he took working on form and technique on the beach to make the most of the time in the water. He even offered to let me come back to borrow the boogie board he had with his gear which I appreciated. There’s so much value in this experience and one of my favorite memories from my trip!

Great instructor! - The instructor was awesome and was able to adjust to my needs as a beginner but not a complete beginner.
