5 Days Surf Camp in Jaco, Costa Rica

"There were 5 of us taking lessons the first day, and we all had such a great time! All the instructors were brilliant, showing us thoroughly the techniques before we went anywhere near the water, and then finding the best places for us to surf as we were all beginners. The lesson lasted around 3 hours. The next day we went back down to the beach and the boys let us borrow the boards again free of charge for a few hours. All the staff members were so lovely and we had a great time!"

"We booked this through a special where we got the lesson for $50 per person but it's usually only about $60, which is a good price already. The owner himself meets you out there and helps with the lessons before you get in the water. They knew exactly where to take us for the cleanest, least rough waves on the beach. My husband and I had Jon Carlos as our instructor and he was a great teacher with a good sense of humor. He helped us both individually in the waist deep water until we were comfortable with the smaller white waves. Since we had some prior surf experience and were catching on pretty well he took us both past the break (even helped push us both through the really tough waves to get out there which was really impressive!) and with his coaching, we each caught the biggest waves of our lives! The lesson itself is about 2-3 hrs but they you keep the board the rest of the day if you want which was awesome!"

"Gustavo and the other teachers are awesome and very patient. Their English is also very good. Cold drinks at the break and you will be surfing within 2 hours. PS: Gustavo makes the best pizza in Jaco."

" My family and I spent last week in Jaco. My kids (9 and 12), my mother in law and I, took surf lessons. We loved it so much, that we went 3 times. Technique is great, staff is competent and everybody was fun to be with. Special thank you, to you Gustavo! High five to our coaches Andres and Cesar. Free ski lessons are on me if you come in Canada."

" These guys are great. If they can take someone who has never surfed before and get them to ride a wave, that's pretty good in my book. Very friendly instructors. They also let you use a board for 24 hours after your lesson, to keep practicing."
