Nothing but good things to say about our experience with Rica Surf. From the moment we bought their deal on Living Social, Nancy and Evie answered any questions in a timely manner and gave us confidences with our decision on booking a trip to Costa Rica. As soon as my friend and I arrived, we could tell it would be... More

Such a great time at surf camp. Every minute of every day was packed with a surfing adventure in the morning and at least one other fantastic activity in the afternoon. Evie and Nancy even got us to dinner and the best nightlife. The instruction in the water is low key and tailored to the abilities, fitness, and goals of... More

My friend and I spent 7 days with Evie, Nancy and 8 others that traveled to Playa Hermosa all with one goal in mind - to learn how to surf! I had some surfing experience while the rest of the crew didn't have any at all. Evie and Nancy taught us more in one week than what I had tried... More

I will be the first to admit that I was apprehensive about a week long surf camp since I had zero experience surfing. But I was... More

I can't say enough positive things about the week long Rica Surf trip I just returned from. Everything was great. From the surf lessons, to the hotel, to the towns of Hermosa and Jaco. Not being the world's best surfer, I went in with a bit of apprehension, but Nancy and Evie are great instructors that cheer on both your... More

Evie and Nancy are fantastic surfers and even better teachers who can pretty much handle anything costa rica throws their way. I spent several days surfing with them locally and then went on a Fabulous road trip to tamarindo and then nasara where we surfed every day and ate fantastic local food. One of the best adventures of my life... More

I spent 2 weeks in costa rica with Evie n Nancy, mostly in Jaco/ Hermosa, as well as a road trip to Santa Teresa. The trip was filled with adventures every day, getting up early some days to seek out perfect point breaks and chilling other days at local beaches. We had time to go board shopping, visit a waterfall,... More
