I signed up for the 1 week SUP camp but decided to turn it into 2. Marco is a great teacher and an awesome guy. I had an absolute blast with him. Just follow his recommendations. If he tells you 5:30 am is the time to go out that day just get up and go. I just got back a... More

Marco is an outstanding host and ambassador for SuP surfing in the Tamarindo area. He was incredibly friendly and helpful in setting me up with a great board, and a great SuP surfing experience during my week in Costa Rica. Both he and his wife Lydia are the real deal, fully committed to the pura vida philosophy. He is a... More

Marco and Lydia are awesome; they are the embodiment or Pura Vida! I enquired about a Stand Up Paddle rental or lesson at our Hotel and they were clueless. I found Costa Rica Stand Up Paddle Adventures on line. Marco was quick to respond via email, and telephone. Once we worked out a day and time he picked me up... More

Marco was an awesome Instructor. He is friendly and accommodating and takes into account all levels of ability. SUP is the most fun you can have standing up. The sunset session was an amazing day to cap of the day and prices are very reasonable for the activity. Because of Marco I will definitely look to take up SUP when... More

The owner, Marco has some really great stand up paddle boards, and he is a pleasure to do business with. My buddy and I rented from him last month, and Marco gave us some great advice on use (we're surfers... this was our first SUP boarding) and different nearby beaches to visit. His wife is also really cool and runs... More

I went surfing in Costa Rica for a week with my friend who is a SUPer so she rented from Costa Rica SUP Stand Up Paddle Adventures. They were awesome and hooked me up with a longboard and a shortboard rental for the duration of my trip through another local shop. Both boards were amazing and helped me progress with... More

I highly reccomend Marco. We ended up finding him after we realized taking our boards on the plane was gonna be a major hassle. He had the nicest boards we could find and was just real easy to be around. We had a great time with him both in and out of the water. He and his wife are wonderful... More
