Liquid sessions doesn’t just teach you to surf, they teach you the surfer mindset.
In just a week, I learned to
- read waves
- catch and ride them on my own
- stay safe in any situation
- become a responsible member of a surf lineup
- go out alone
- and most of all, overcome fear with gratitude
Donovan was the best teacher I could imagine. He got to know me and my goals, crafted a plan around them, found the breaks that matched my experience level and even took me out on a surprise boat trip to surf some special waves on my last day.
Stop your search, book liquid sessions, a real hidden gem in Nicaragua.

Roberto, it was so much fun surfing with you and watching you progress. From day one to our last day it was such a pleasure to share the waves with you. I hope that we get an opprotunity to do it again. And what a wave you caught on the last day! That's how you send it. Proud of you and hope that you keep surfing. Yreew🌊🌞🤙🏄♂️

Great surf coaching and sharing the Nicaraguan experience. Couldn't be happier with the waves at Magnific Rock, the hotel and coaching with Donovan!

Donovan is a very dedicated and enthusiastic surf instructor! Steven, his other surf coach is also excellent. Their whole team is great including Melissa who handles the administrative aspect and Nate who does photography for them. The hotel is in a very beautiful location and has great food as well! We had an ocean view from our room! Donovan planned lots of fun surf adventures for us including surfing from a boat and mixed in some beautiful sights along the way.

I went from zero to feeling comfortable paddling out and catching waves in beginner conditions in 3 days - Donovan knows how to give good, relevant tips without overloading too much info. The course set me up with enough practical knowledge and experience to move forward.

Great time, great student. It was really fun not only surfing with you Al but getting to know you too. I am stoked you're finding you're feet underneath you while you step into liquid, surfing. Yeeew 🌊🤙

Donovan is a charismatic and experienced surf coach. I've taken lessons in Australia, Barbados, Bali, and previously in Nicaragua, and by far, I had the best time and results with him. What set him apart is he went through the basics of the surfboard itself, safety rules, and the history of surfing before we even dove into the mechanics of it all.
Both my partner and I took the lesson at the same time, and even with our varying skill set levels, Donovan was able to give each of us dedicated time to help us choose the right wave, correct our stance, and pump up our confidence.
If you are a beginner or intermediate surfer, I highly recommend taking a lesson from Donovan at Mag Rock. You'll have a great time.

Donovan was excellent at Mag Rock - he was able to help my intermediate son (12) and me a beginner in the same session. I loved his approach and his passion and zest was incredibly contagious- and mag rock had the best waves of our two week Nica trip!

My cousin and I came to Popoyo to get better at surfing. Donovan gave us an actual classroom lesson on the basics of surfing and how to read waves, and it was crucial to our improvement out in the ocean. He explains things in a clear way and his passion for surfing encourages your learning. Overall a super nice guy and highly recommend him for surfing instruction!
