      Absolutely amazing experience. He was so informative, helpful and resourceful. This is way better than doing a big group lesson. More one on one time and more time in the water. He makes you feel very welcoming, you feel like a real local at home.

      Definitely book this private lesson-worth every dollar

      An absolutely amazing experience! Very encouraging and kind instructor. Our daughter learned a lot and had a wonderful time learning to surf.

      True pura vida experience!

      Exceeded expectations, the BEST place to book your surfing lessons! David was a pro at teaching our group of 10-21 yr olds and gave us a wonderful personalized experience. He determined the time and place based on weather conditions and very generously spent a lot of extra time with us getting to a beautiful less crowded beach, giving us a relaxed experience. Everything was included: surf boards, wet suits, etc. and all 4 participating caught many waves! We felt like we were with a knowledgeable surfer friend vs a corporation churning groups. We also enjoyed the most delicious pineapple we’ve ever had! Muchas gracias, David. Book with him, you won’t regret it!

      Best private surfing...
