Absolute best time - We had a wonderful morning with Sea Native. Josh and his crew are super patient, friendly and fun. Our 7 year old almost stood up every time and I had a couple good rides as well. Fresh orange juice provided at the end was a highlight too. Highly recommended!

Best surf experience for first timer - This was the best part of my Costa Rica trip. I have never surfed before. Jonathan taught us everything we needed to know before getting in the water. Once in the water he and Snyder ensured that our entire group was able to catch waves! They were both great teachers and clearly wanted us to have an enjoyable experience. I very strongly recommend this to anyone wanting to try surfing!

Tamarindo was a perfect... - Tamarindo was a perfect place to learn to surf. Miguel was the best teacher! He prepared us prior to going out and was awesome with giving cues on what we needed to do. All of our group were able to surf until we were worn out. He was so enthusiastic and a pleasure to meet.

Best Surf Experience - We had such a wonderful time during our first surf lesson with Sea Native Surf Co. Joshua and Kenny were amazing instructors who were kind, patient, and thoughtful throughout the whole process. It is easy to feel their passion for surfing as well as the deep connection they have to the place and people of Tamarindo. Anyone who is looking for a low pressure high fun experience of surfing should book their time with Sea Native Surf Co.

Shredding waves - After asking around, Joshua (the owner) is easily one of the best surfers in Tamarindo. 🌊🏄🏼‍♀️ This is my second time visiting and I surfed with him various times. Him and all the instructors do a great job showing you the basics as well as getting in the water with you and catching some waves. Will keep coming back to them 🤙🏼

First surf lesson with a good vibe teacher - We had a first surf lesson with Josh and his buddy. So much fun, he thought us the basic and we managed to stay on top of the board several times! We enjoyed it very much and closed the lesson with a delicious piñacolada! Pura Vida!
