Our instructors were...

Our instructors were excellent. We were all beginners, ranging in age from 10 to 44 and they got all of us up on the boards right away! Very fun experience, would highly recommend!

Wonderful surf lesson. Ask for Ronaldo!

Recently visited Costa Rica for a girls trip (all of us in our 40s), 3 of us decided to take surf lessons. We booked through natives way and did a 2-hour lesson with Ronaldo. He was absolutely amazing and had 2 of us standing up on our boards riding waves in no time (the 3rd decided to be our photographer). He was so patient and kind and you could really tell that he enjoyed what he did. This was probably the highlight of my trip and I am so grateful that we had Ronaldo as our instructor!

Nice first lesson

It was my first time surfing and was not disappointed. Annie was a good teacher! Of course, as a beginner, I had struggle but finally could stand on the board thank to her advices :)

WE LOVE RONALDO !!! Had such an amazing time surfing. It was all of our first times and he was a great instructor who supported yet also challenged us. Would try again and again
