    Look at my surfing videos! JUST SIGN UP! You won’t regret! I’m absolute beginner and I rarely exercise. Andrea helped me stood up on board in 15 minutes and catching 20-30 waves on my first day🤩 🏄‍♀️They provide rash guard and sunscreen! All coaches comes with years of experiences: they’re professional, patient, welcoming and fun as individuals. They made me feel safe and truly cared for. 🏄‍♀️Anthony will go extra miles to make things happen, I requested a last minute photo shoot, it’s their high season and all photographers are booked, but he contacted different photographers to make sure that happen for me and with an affordable price! The drone shot was breathtaking! 🏄‍♀️Andrea has been coaching surfing for 14 years, he knows how to teach beginners, he taught me theories and practiced postures on sand over and over, with his support I stood up on the board within 10 minutes and caught 20-30 waves in my first session. I loved his big smile, he constantly check in on me and always celebrate my success with a big high five or a wave of his arms! 🏄‍♀️Osvaldo taught me so much, I booked a 5 session package, he would analyze each wave with me and trouble shoot, help me learn how to watch/catch a good wave with control, timing and weight distribution on the board, how to protect myself under water, how to paddle he spent extra time with me in water just to wait to catch a last good wave, he helped me carrying the board when I don’t have enough arm strength, I learned to turn and ride directional waves and caught multiple waves by myself by the end of session 5. 🥰It’s a memorable experience, I highly recommend Ride-in surf and I will definitely come back!

    Anthony is an amazing surfer himself while also very skilled at teaching. I got to watch him compete at the national level. He RIPS! He is super knowledgeable about technique and how to help you see it and then put it into practice. He has helped my son at the competitive level as well as myself as an adult beginner. He makes it fun and is one of the kindest humans on the planet. He is truly an amazing person.

    I am giving them 5 stars only because 6 is not an option on Google. There were 5 of us for a Surf Lesson on 04 July. Osvaldo was an amazing teacher and had all 5 of us 'up' and riding waves in no time at all. It was an incredible experience for the full group and one we will not forget....and we cannot wait to surf again!!!

    Great times in Jaco. My instructor Oscar was very thorough and had me up on my first try. Everyone I noticed with other instructors were up and surfing, even a young kid perhaps 6 years old. The board was in great condition too. Definitely recommend.
