I have taken a few lessons before and wanted to advance to another level and she was definetly the right person to have as an instructor. I really learned a lot in my private lessons and also had so much... More

I booked my first surf lesson with Deb from Dominical, who explained the process very well through email. When I arrived I was noticeably nervous - and Deb was able to provide clear instruction and support to put me at ease. With Deb's careful instruction I was up on the board the first time! Dominical is very professional, experienced, and... More

We have used Debbie w/ Dominical Surf School for the last two years. Debbie is a champion surfer. She is awesome! She had all 3 of us (ages 53, 26 and 16) standing up and riding the first lesson. We have taken many more lessons from her since then and she continues to help us improve. Best part- she is... More

My Family and I went surfing with Debbie in Dominical this year. Everyone stood up in only one lesson. Debbie and her staff are very energetic, fun and knowledgeable when it comes to surfing. I would highly recommend Dominical Surf Lessons to anyone. I will return to Costa Rica and plan on taking an intermediate class. Thanks again Debbie and... More

I was traveling around Costa Rica for a little over a month and I had always wanted to learn to surf. Some friends of mine that live part of the year in Costa Rica recommended "Dominical Surf Lesson" since they have repeatedly taken classes with them to improve there skill level. On my first day I was very nervous but... More

Our group had 9 family members from ages 10 to 56 all wanting to learn to surf. Debbie got everyone up on our first try; even my in-laws! She gave us a great deal and let us rent the boards for a very reasonable rate in the morning and afternoon for the rest of our stay. Her staff even met... More

Not all surf instuctutors are the same, Debbie is the real deal, and will actually teach you how to surf. Compared to the lessons I had with other instructors Debbie is way better! More

I've surfed with Debbie in Dominical and Jaco, both great places but different types of surf. She started us with the basics in a very quick and thorough manner. Having someone who loves to surf and see other enjoy surfing, is the best kind of teacher. She helps one to understand the wave formation and ways to conserve ones energy,... More

Well I think it's safe to say I'm hooked... surfing was awesome! On a last minute decision, my friend and I gave surfing a try, and why not, we're in Costa Rica. We were in the Jaco area and luckily got hooked up with Debbie from Dominical Surf Lessons. Debbie made our morning of surfing incredibly enjoyable. She had great... More
