Your comfort and safety in the water are our top priority.

Tamarindo beach hosts a world class learning wave that is perfect for everyone from beginners on a soft top board, to more advanced short boarders and everything in between. We work with all ages and ability levels. We’ll customize your lesson to suit your individual needs based on your ability level. We love to teach children, teenagers, adults and special needs surfers. Julia is a NY state certified Bilingual Special Education teacher and Mario has over 17 yrs of local surf instructing experience! We make a great dynamic team!
