My friend booked this for my bachelor's day party. The owner drove us from brasilito to playa grande, along with 2 instructors. They were fantastic and even cut up fresh fruit for us during the break. My instructor Angelo was a local Costa rican who made it truly a fun experience. Highly recommended

A real highlight of our trip to the Westin Playa Conchal. Point Break Surf is everything I read about. We were just looking for some fun things to do here. I booked with Natasha a couple of days before arriving. ( note: we got lucky - so book earlier!) Matt picked us up right outside the gate to the hotel... More

Taking surf lessons from Point Break was by far one of the best things we did in Costa Rica! The staff was amazing - very patient and helpful. Even our 11 year old daughter got up on her first try. Our two younger boys - 6 and 8 - were hesitant to try, so Matt went to town and rented... More

Point Break was one of the highlights of our trip! We spent 3 of our 10 days with Matt and team, and it was a great experience. We surfed early in our trip with adults, teens and younger kids as well, and we loved it so much that we did it again later in the week. The location Matt chose... More

I visited the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica on a work trip Feb 8-15, 2013. It was a trip to be the envy of anyone, including a stay at the Riu Palace ... a brand-new, all inclusive resort. And while some are smitten by the pool, drinks and food of a resort like that ... the most stand-out, best experience... More

We did a 2 hour SUP tour through Point Break Surf School in Costa Rico and had a great experience, what an amazing workout and way to start the day. My husband and I haven't SUP'd much, but Matt did a great job of helping us improve our stroke and made sure we stayed hydrated and didn't push ourselves too... More

My SUP (stand up paddle board) lesson and tour with Point Break was incredible! Natasha was so helful. She was able to answer my questions- I had many- and rearrange dates/times for me many times.My tour/lesson with Matt was great. His enthusiasm for life/surfing/the ocean is so infectious I couldn't help but have fun- we laughed the whole time. It... More

We had a blast surfing with Matt, Angelo, and Brayan. Matt, from New Zealand, runs the show along with wife Tasha, while Brasilito locals Angelo and Brayan provide hands-on instruction. Everyone was great! They provided transportation to and from Playa Grande for us. Angelo and Brayan gave great instructions and were very patient with us. They were also very adept... More

We can't say enough about Matt and the Point Break Surf School instructors! My husband, son(13 who had surfed once before), two daughters(8 and 11) and myself spent a very enjoyable morning learning to catch some waves at Playa Grande with instructors who were kind, patient and very knowledgeable in the sport of surfing. I, myself was not going to... More

Matt, Natasha, Bryan and Angelo are the secret to Point Break's success!! The pick-up and drop-off service to and from the hotel was always on time and the instruction in the water was personalized and attentive - I definitely improved my surf and now have enough confidence to navigate the waters on my own! I can't think Point Break enough,... More
