Beach was busy but the instructions were very patient. We had a great time and we were all able to get up multiple times.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Happy to hear that and hope to see you back in Nosara for more waves!
Had an amazing first-time surfing experience with Viator! My instructor, Abraham, was incredible—super patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. He broke down every step so clearly that I was able to stand up and riding waves in under an hour. Helped build great habits and made it super easy to really enjoy surfing with no prior experience. Couldn’t recommend more! Book this today!!!
