We had a wonderful time surfing with this group. 9 people ranging from never surfed to having surfed a few years and intermediate level.
Everyone in the group had fun, learned and got better. New surfers got to catch waves themselves for the first time, and others got to carve some nice turns on beautiful waves.
We did 3 sessions (M, W, F mornings). All were great. Thanks so much for the great time in Dominical and Dominicalito waves!

We had an amazing time with this surf school! Everything we hoped for. Everyone was able to get up on the board. We did 3 days of 2 hour lessons with a group that varied in size from 7-13, ages 6-40+ - they allowed some of us to borrow rash guards if needed and gave us some great natural sunscreen for our faces. Debbie was wonderful to work with- easy to contact, very sweet and very organized, and willing to be flexible when we had kids who kept changing their minds. The instructors were great and encouraging - all of our kids loved who they were paired with. Unfortunately I don’t remember all of their names but my friend and I had Santi and he was great! Everyone says this was the highlight of the trip. I loved that they always seemed more concerned about safety than anything else. I was able to learn without being worried for the safety of my kids because the instructors were very focused on them 100% of the time. Martina took photos for us on the first day but it rained non stop, I thought there was no way she would be able to capture any good photos but she did! They set up a big tent for us for shade and a break from the rain with some chairs as well. You’ll leave feeling like they’re all friends. Book with them- you won’t be disappointed!

The instructors were so nice and good at their job. We all fell in love with surfing and we had 13-52 year olds on our trip.
