Leandro made the experience comfortable, supportive, and memorable for me and my husband. We both had minimal experience. By the end we were standing up and catching waves! I highly recommend this experience if you have looking for adventure with a great teacher!
Absolutely fantastic. If you’re looking to surf, these are the folks to do it with!! Leonardo and Gravy (G) were great instructors, so encouraging and made us feel safe while having so much fun. Highlight of my week, hands down. This was my first time ever surfing and I got up more times than not and I credit that to the instructors and to this area having great, consistent conditions to surf.
Such a fun 2 hour lesson! Gregoria was kind, fun and knowledgeable. Thank you!
You can tell when a guide truly loves their job. Leandro is one such guide! His love for surfing is contagious and he was so excited to get me and my wife catching waves almost immediately. Playa Chamen, where the lesson was held, was both stunningly beautiful and uncrowded giving us plenty of room to relax and learn. I can't recommend this more for anyone curious about surfing!
We had such a great time learning to surf! It was our very first lesson and we had so much fun. The instructors were excellent and were very knowledgeable in keeping everyone safe while having a good time.
Thank you so much for the great review, we appreciate you taking the time to give us five stars. We look forward to serving you again the next time you’re in Uvita. All the best, Leandro
Leandro and his colleague G were incredible! My 13 yo son and his 11 yo friend were given clear, safe instruction and had the time of their lives learning to surf! The waves were awesome and it was the perfect environment with a great teacher!! Highly highly recommend!!

Leandro is a very hands-on instructor but gives you space to surf on your own once you get the hang of things. Very encouraging and incredibly experienced - great teacher! Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn the fundamentals of surfing and get some intel on Costa Rican waves 🤙

My 65 year old husband did surfing lessons with this company two years ago and again this month. He really enjoyed the lessons, the upbeat encouragement, and the professionalism of this company. My 30 something kids and their partners also took lessons here, from early intermediate to pure beginner and found the feedback very helpful in de eloping their skills. Highly recommend.

My girlfriend had a lesson and I hired a surf board, the experience was Brillaint and he was a great coach and went above and beyond, serving us pineapple and fresh water half way through aswell as teaching us about some local animals, would highly recommend and will be using him again for board hire in future.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Uvita Surf and Tour. We appreciate your feedback and are always striving to provide the best service possible. We hope to see you again in the future for more great moments in the water.
