"Day 1 I was standing; by lesson 3 I could read waves and turn. Jason—and his Cheerleader dog Costa—make him Tamarindo's #1 surf coach!"
"I highly recommend Costa Surf and teacher Jason to anyone who wants to learn to surf or improve their skills in a welcoming and professional environment."
"As a first time surfer, I can say that I got the best out of my lessons. Jason helped me a lot with practice. At the end, I was able to properly surf. I enjoyed every moment."
"Jason didn't just teach us how to surf — they made us fall in love with the ocean. Patient, encouraging, and full of energy, Jason went above and beyond to ensure Dan and I felt confident and safe in the water. Highly recommend to anyone ready to ride their first wave or sharpen their skills!"
