I purchased a bar of surf wax and got treated like I was their best customer. Left my car out front, had breakfast at the bakery next door then walked to the beach. When I got back the kid who sold me the wax asked me how the waves were and offered me a "sweet water" shower.
Not my first...

Owner description:
From Grommets to Grandmas, Pro’s to “never done it”, we have you covered. 3 hours lessons at $65 per person which includes transport, guide/driver, instructor (Lifeguard Certified) and all equipment needed.Starts out with a half hour of theory and safety on the beach, then off to the water we go for 2+ hoursof the most exhausting and thrilling adventure you could ask for. Imagine, we have over 50 years total combined time in the water! After we wear you out and have shown you how to ride, quick trip back to the shop and we discuss abilities and assess the students equipment needs for future surfing. Equipment is available to rent of purchase should you choose.We are a drug free organization and proud sponsors of many of our best local surfers, not just a claim!Max 5 people per instructor.What do I bring?We supply the surfboards with leash, lycra surf shirts, and a ride to the spot we teach the lessons in. Bring swimwear (ladies should wear boardshorts, the waves will rearrange your bikini), towel, and… A BIG SMILE AND A POSITIVE ATTITUDE! Students should wear at least 30SPF waterproof/sweat proof sunblock, everyone gets a surfboard so you won’t be sitting around!Do you take pictures?As a surfshop we don’t! But if you would like to have all your fun and great surfing moments in pictures, let us know in advance and we will bring a photographer with us! Note: rates may vary.NEW!!! Frequent Traveler Board Storage. 10sq ft for $40/mo in secure warehouse. Room for 3 long boards or combination of items.

We did lessons on the beach the day before and then came here for the second day of surfing. They had a great assortment of boards and helped us pick the best for each of us. The rates were great $25 for 1/2 day for 2 boards. They loaned us rash guards and a rack for the SUV. Great service....

This shop is proposing great classes with great advices to start and I guess to develop further skill. Alberto, our teacher, was very friendly and very specific on how to surf a board. Moreover he speaks fluently english and is native spanish (he's actually from Playa Hermosa which is 5K from Jaco). I would advise to take the class with...

We rented on two separate occasion. The first time was 3 surfboards the second was 2 boards and a boogey board. They have excellent equipment. The rates are cheap. Make sure you look over the boards before you leave and make sure you dont ride them all the way in to the shore. That is where the scuffs and dings...

As a group of people renting boards they are more than willing to take your money, the problem is when you take out the boards. The fins on our boards kept breaking and we then had to pay $50 to get new fins. Keep in mind that the fins that are on the board are yellow and brittle. The service...

I didn't get a lesson but just rented a couple of paddleboards and a boogieboard for the day. The prices were reasonable (2 hours for $20 for paddleboards or $40 for 24 hours, and the boogieboard was only $7) and they had a good selection. Also the location is convenient but it is not on the beach so good thing...
