The Best Experience: Surf Lessons in Jaco Reviews
Posted on Pam MazzarellaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great surf lesson with Antonio at sunset. He was patient, encouraging, and gave clear tips that made it easy to get up on the board and actually ride some waves. Surfing while the sun was setting made the whole experience even more special—highly recommend a lesson or two if you’re in the area.Posted on Matias GrosmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. La experiencia del surf coaching fue increíble, los profes son muy pacientes con los chicos y los ayudan a progresar un montón, los chicos aprendieron a hacer maniobras más radicales con fluidez y curvas más redondas con mayor precisión. Una experiencia muy recomendada para aquellos que recién aprenden a surfear o para aquellos que ya surfear hace dos años o más y quieren mejorar su surf técnicamente.Posted on Gianpiero PepeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hade a really good experience with Anthony! Amazing teacher! Super professional.Posted on Gleb KholodovTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Got two awesome sessions wint Andreas - he did a great job tailoring his lessons to my level and needs. I feel like I progressed, despite having a break of two years since the last time I surfed. Great English too - I think I got more knowledge from his tips in these two sessions than in the previous 6 I had in Waikiki and Bali.Posted on Jason KwanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience of private surf coaching with Anthony for 6 days in a roll! He's the best surf coach I've had so far! 10 out of 10! (I'm a beginner to intermediate level) Here's what I like about his coaching: 1. Quick feedback loop after each wave; 2. Detailed explanation of biomechanics on turns; 3. Quickly identify what's the next level & technique to focus on (He quickly spotted that I'm not proactively positioning myself at the peak, and after solving that we moved to conquering turns). If you're serious about surfing or even just a new learner, he's the guy you should take lessons from!Posted on Christine WangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!Posted on ofer hammTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very patient guides, good knowledge and they were always in a good spirit.Posted on Colin KurtzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Five stars! Andres w Ride In Surf School was awesome. He was professional, kind, attentive, patient and funny. He guided two separate lessons for us. He was an excellent communicator and very sound foundational instructor. He worked on technique and educated on how the theory and technique and strategy all go hand-in-hand to create confidence and the ability for us to position our self, select correct waves and successfully surf them. We can’t say enough about the great experience what we had. On the second day, he was able to take us by private excursion to a nearby beach which had way more suitable for our new and improved level. We had an amazing day and feel that we’ve gained the confidence and skills necessary to confidently go out on our own. Thanks so much guys, you truly were amazing!!

All kit required for a beginner included along with excellent tips tricks and feedback that meant the 90 minutes left me about 193948 times better than I was before!! Andreas was communicative, attentive patient and even gave me some great local hangouts afterwards. Use these guys! Definitely recommend these guys,Posted on Jason BenavidesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
