My 14 year old daughter took a surf lesson with MASS. It was great. She was nervous the night before because it was kind of big but the they made her feel comfortable and took her to a great beginner beach, nice small break. Instructors are all certified and were great. More

Good group to go with. We have alot of time in the water to practice with the instructors and were basically 1 on 1. We had a group of 5 in the lesson with 4 instructors. The only thing they did not really teach us is how to anticipate the wave. They would just say ready? If we were they... More

I arrived in Costa Rica in September to teach English during the week and travel the country on the weekends. One of my first weekend trips was Manuel Antonio.

We were also given the most delicious... More

Late May 2011. Used them to give surf lessons to our young girls. Owner picked us up at our hotel then charged parents for transport to beach even though only kids were surfing. Then charged us for chairs on beach while we waited for kids. At beach he cruised the streets asking if anyone had seen his teachers. Finally rounded... More

What impressed me most about this adventure was the instructors' attention to our children's safety. This was most certainly a priority and I am ever-thankful. The youngest children stayed with their own instructors while the eldest were permitted to join the rest of the class. The teachers were aware of the approaching waves and would abandon me (in a good... More
