Three 30 something first time surfers had a great time with this school. The instructors did a good job making sure we had our jump up and stance down pat before throwing us into the waves. We all got a great amount of time in the water. Exhausting and liberating! The only "too bad" thing was there was no cheaper... More

This review is long overdue (and long!), but I felt it would be wrong not to post after having such an AMAZING experience. I went to Costa Rica with a college friend at the end of April. We wanted to surf while we were there, so my friend did some research and settled on Point Break Surf. I am so... More

Was in Costa Rica this week on a company trip--a couple of us decided to try surfing, none of us had surfed before. We did a web search and saw the excellent reviews on Point Break and reached out to Natasha and Matt. Natasha was the point of contact, very responsive. We had door to door service to get to... More

We came to Costa Rica two years ago and took our first lesson with Matt. We had such an awesome time that when we returned to Costa Rica for vacation again this year, we booked with Point Break Surf for more lessons. Matt, Natasha, Angelo, and Brian are friendly and helpful, the instruction is second to none. We look forward... More

After researching several options for surf lessons, I sent an email through their website http://www.pointbreaksurf.com/site/ and received a reply back from Natasha almost immediately. She was incredibly helpful with directions from our hotel in Papagayo (an hour drive) and when we showed up at the surf shop, Matt was there with a big smile to welcome us. We had a... More

We came back last week from spending a few weeks in Costa Rica and our 3 children are still talking about our surf day with Point Break Surf. We met Matt at our hotel and from the first moment we met him, we knew we were going to have the most memorable day. Most importantly, not only did Matt impress... More

If you are near the beaches of Guanacaste (Playa Grande) you must take surf lessons from the gang at Point Break Surf!!!! This is a professional, safe, fun and experienced team. They WILL take care of you! The area at Playa Grande they have sourced out is perfect for beginners. Small waves, noting but a sandy bottom and no one... More

Beginning with the words, "It's a surf truck mate." - we headed away from our hotel and into a great vacation experience on a beautiful and memorable beach. With admirable leadership skills, Matt and Natasha have assembled a friendly crew with excellent attitudes, style, and outlook. Instruction was tailored to our family and they ensured we were taken care of... More

Point Break Surf, run by American Natasha and her New Zealander husband, has got it figured out. We were picked up and taken to Playa Grande where we had some instruction on the beach, an hour of surfing, a break with pineapple and coconut milk, then more surfing. It was awesome. The only thing that topped standing up in the... More

There's a reason that Point Break Surf School is rated #1 in activities in Playa Flamingo - they are the best surf/stand up paddle instructors, thanks to their experience and love of surfing/SUP and the water! Natasha handles all bookings, and is fabulous to work with - she arranges all pick ups (at your condo/resort/hotel) and they are very prompt!... More
