With so many destinations on my bucket list, I grappled with returning to a town I have been to a few times now. But, my time in Santa Teresa last year Surfing with Costa Rica Surf &SUP was so amazing, I have come... More

My positive experiences with Costa Rica Surf and SUP helped make my recent trip to Santa Teresa one of the best vacations of my life. Bennison was helpful before I even arrived in Costa Rica, as she answered my questions about nearby hotels, activities, and travelling to Santa Teresa thoroughly via email. I appreciated that she kept me posted on... More

It was a highlight of my 40th birthday trip to spend a couple hours with Al and Benny's SUP tour. So much fun. Been shopping for them ever since I got home. Could be my next new hobby. Give Thanks!

I'd never surfed before, and wasn't convinced I could or wanted to .... But a day of sitting looking at the waves in Santa Teresa convinced me it would be mad not to. Benni and Nick were fantastic teachers - they made the whole thing fun and clear, from popping up to learning to turn. I wasn't sure I would... More

I was in Santa Teresa in January and I booked a lesson with Costa Rica Surf and Sup for myself and my son. Our instructor was Kelsey and she was great and we had a good time. Afterwards, we talked about going surfing again at a different beach. I followed up with an email to make arrangements. Benny replied later... More

Benny and Al from Costa Rica Surf & SUP definitely made my trip to Costa Rica an unforgettable one! Traveling with a small group of girls (for the first time), we were unsure about what to do, how to get around, and most importantly, how safe it was for us. Benny put us at ease and helped us with everything... More

I had a private surf lesson with Bennie and she completely made me forget about my negative previous surfing experiences. She was so patient with me and then as soon as things started clicking, she was giving great feedback in a helpful way. I made some notes to keep much of what she taught me fresh in my mind for...
