We had 5 in our group take beginning surf lessons. The instructors were great, very patient and helpful. Picked us up and dropped us off all for a very reasonable price. I would recommend them to anyone. More

I passed by their downtown quepos location and their agent, fredy, told me that they had a special on surfing lessons... $50 for 2 hours. He even gave me a brochure which described the package which included surf board, rash guard, and refreshments. So they pick me up from my hotel the next day as planned. They drive me to... More
