Every trip has one free day too few. These 4 surf lessons justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Meet Glen and his surf team at Playa Espadilla Norte for a two-hour lesson suited to beginners and improving surfers. Instructors such as Derek, Sebastian, Isaac, and others teach water safety, wave timing, and board technique. After class, keep the board for the rest of the day and practice on your own.
“Very fun, good instructors!!! A lot time was spent on the water, which was great. Would recommend!!!”
Spend about two hours learning to surf at Jaco Beach with Aloha Josi Surf School. You’ll get beach instruction, safety guidance, a board, rash guard, sunscreen, water, and an instructor who stays with you in the waves. Names frequently associated with lessons include Jason, Jeyson, Giovanni, and David. Keep the board and beach chairs after class.
“Great experience! First time surfing, great, patient host. So much fun. The location, the beach and the weather are 10/10”
Meet Álvaro or Juan at Playa Hermosa for a private 90-minute surf lesson suited to beginners and improving riders. You’ll learn board parts, water safety, proper entry, and the pop-up before receiving constant coaching in the waves. A surfboard is included, but transportation to the beach is not.
“Absolutely amazing surf lessons with Álvaro and Juan! I booked together with two friends and had an unforgettable experience. From the very first moment, we felt incredibly welcome, safe, and perfectly taken care of. They explained all the basics and the rules in the water in a clear and motivating way, which gave us a lot of confidence right from the start. Álvaro took a very individual approach, gave constant, constructive feedback, and helped us improve so quickly. The surf sessions in the lineup were an absolute highlight and so much fun. I’m already looking forward to coming back to Playa Hermosa and surfing again with Álvaro and Juan. Thank…”
Meet Blue Wave Surf & Tours on Tamarindo Beach for a two-hour lesson with instructors such as Andric, Jonathan, Johnny, and Pablo. You’ll get beach practice, equipment, safety guidance, and plenty of time in the water. Private instruction suits families, first-timers, and surfers ready for focused coaching.
“We had a great time! We opted for private lessons so there was an instructor for each of us. They taught us the basics and got us in the water right away. They are so patient and very professional.”
