Overview

  • Your lesson is taught by Leandro, a certified surf coach (Surf Instructor Level 1) who runs his own school in Tamarindo and stays with you in the water the whole session. Rated 5.0 by more than 430 travellers on Viator and Tripadvisor.

    Unlike a quick push-into-the-wave lesson, we start with theory and land practice so you understand what you are doing, then put it to work in the water with feedback on every wave. Small groups, patient teaching for kids and adults, and lessons in English, Spanish or Portuguese.

    Want to keep progressing? Book the 3-lesson package and get videos of your surfing in lesson 2 and a personal video analysis in lesson 3 at no extra cost.
