The team at Barefoot Surf Travel are excellent at getting a beginning surfer like me to advance to the next level of surfing skill. For me it was "taking the drop" on green waves, but for others in my group it was bottom turns, or popups. I can take what I learned and apply it to my home surf spot and continue to improve. I did the one-week surf camp and every detail (coaching, accommodations, meals, etc) was handled flawlessly. Great experience!

As the title says, I have progressed loads on this trip. The whole group shared this opinion that it is not only the video analysis, but somehow the way the coaches teach is something I haven’t experienced so far. The patience, kindness and professionalism is something unique. The amount of knowledge shared was extraordinary and easily understandable and applicable. The restaurants and other experiences on the side were also an awesome bonus.
Josh, Naomi, Chris and Tabbi, you guys rock!

Best Surf trip in Nosara Costa Rica to learn and progress rapidly with surfing. Always great for beginners and intermediates and the videos of ourselves for every surf session helps us progress so much. The surf theory is on point and makes starting to surf very easy for beginners and helps get to an even better level for intermediates. surf coachs and directors are lovely surfers who are passionate about surfing and want to share that! great vacay to get peace of mind and escape the monotony of the everyday routine :) 🌺🏄🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️🌞 I would not hesitate to do another surf trip organized with barefoot surf travel anytime!!!

Barefoot Surf did an excellent job! From the traveling to the surfing, Barefoot has everything planned to perfection. We loved our experience and the people behind it. And we’re better surfers! Mahalo, Barefoot! We will book again!

Had a great time, will be back. The people that work for Barefoot are absolutely amazing. Super friendly, encouraging, and totally knowledgeable about everything about surfing. Getting to know the Barefoot people and the local surf coaches was one of the best parts of the week. My 13 year old and me were up on a board on day 1 and it only got better from there. The villa we stayed at was great, had an awesome breakfast waiting for us every morning. If you want to learn how to surf, this is the place to go.
