    My lesson was with Jona. He was nice and gave great instructions. This is a good experience even if it is your first time surfing.

    Great experience for surf lessons for 13 and 10 year old kids. Highly recommend Grettel. She was patient and kind and made me feel like my kids were in good hands.

    My name is Max, I'm 20 years old, and I reside in Toronto, Canada. I visited Tamarindo for one day during my trip to Guanacaste. By luck or chance, I came across such a knowledgeable and insightful instructor as Leandro. Leandro undertook me in only one day, and I am forever grateful for my surfing experience, which I plan on getting more of the next time I visit.

    Two things: find time to do the program on your own (do this prior by asking Leandro for the theory of surfing) and with Leandro while you are there, not to mention review surfing theory afterwards on your own time to continue making progress. I went in May of 2023, and it is now March 2024. It's been so long since, but today, I decided to leave a review for such a remarkable program and memorable experience. I still look back at the surfing videos from my trip. I plan on visiting again in 2025.

    I was so pleased with my experience. David is an absolute great guy, very trust worthy and comforting each step of the way. I’m from Canada, so spanish isn’t my first language - however David’s exceptional english allowed for an awesome experience.

    Rest assured that he will take you through each step to becoming a (semi) pro surfer ;)

    The best surfing teacher ever! They really did a great job teaching us proper safety and technique before getting in the ocean. He really allowed us to feel comfortable in the learning process which I think is super important. My husband and I got up on our second attempt. Highly recommend!

    The surf instructor was very helpful and gave good advice. Therefore, after a few attempts you could already stand on the surfboard. We also received protective suits, special sunscreen and water from the surf instructor. The price is comparatively very cheap. I would definitely book Shaka Surf School again.

    Elias and team SALT were so kind and helpful with our team of 3 beginners. Elias is very professional, nice, and patient. Elias emphasized safety and took us through all the steps and always made sure we had an open space in the ocean. It was crowded so it was great to have him find open locations. I would highly recommend Elias. Best instructor I’ve ever had.

    I am a beginner surfer, and I was in a surfing accident a couple years ago, so I was very nervous to go out for the first time since my accident. I also have never done anything “therapy” related, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Both Sherri and Veronica were calming, grounding, and incredible humans, and I immediately felt very comfortable!

    On land, Veronica asked about myself and my story, we set intentions, and she was very thorough with her teaching. Sherri also had an incredibly joyful and calming presence. She did a fabulous job of explaining somatic breathing and teaching us how to do it as beginners. It is definitely a tool I plan on applying to my day to day life. While out in the water, Veronica was super patient with me. She was my hype girl, and also gave me tips on how to improve.

    I have to admit, being out in the water is a humbling experience and surfing is not easy, but riding a wave and walking out of the water feeling accomplished and empowered is unlike any other feeling! I no longer feel scared. I love the added component of mental health.

    This was unlike any other surf lesson, and I’m so sad we had to leave the next day, otherwise I would’ve liked to book a second session during our trip!

    Me and my family took a group surf lesson and it was awesome. Cesar is a very knowledgeable surf coach and also a really nice person. We learned a lot and had so much fun. Tamarindo is a beautiful beach as well. Recommended!
