My wife and I were scheduled to go to Surf Simply for a week in March. Unfortunately, she injured herself prior to our trip and we had to cancel. We mistakenly had the wrong type of insurance to cover the cancellation. Ru at Surf Simply was very helpful. He was able to quickly fill our spots (no surprise given all... More

Before deciding on Surf Simply, I relied heavily on tripadvisor to help me decide on this surf camp/resort in Costa Rica. So, it's only fair that I say something after the fact about my own trip experience to Surf Simply. Simply put, Surf Simply is simply the best. I can't imagine any other surf camp ANYWHERE being as thoughtful about... More

I came to Surf Simply with zero surfing experience and I left knowing how to pull an air to fakie. Ha ha! Not, but I did learn how to catch waves, stand up and surf. And I have beautiful pictures that Laura, Surf Simply’s photographer/videographer, took to prove it! I am so glad that I decided to make my first... More

Staying at Surf Simply you are spoiled with the plush chalets and beautiful a setting. What really sets this resort apart though is that is doesn't just stop at the surroundings. You are taken care of at every step of the way. First by an excellent Chef Sarah, to give your body the best fuel to surf your best, but... More

I chose to visit surf simply after having seen Ru give instructions at a web podcast. So when I found out that Ru was not going to be there this week, due to family emergency, I was a bit disappointed. Well I am not disappointed anymore and my high expectations for the week have been more than fulfilled! Harry was... More

I came to Surf Simply because of high recommendations from friends and it still exceeded my expectations. Everything is done really well and with attention to detail, from the moment I signed on I felt very well taken care of. The resort is lovely and well run and the food is outstanding. Most importantly the coaches were great. Both Harry... More

We first visited Surf Simply in 2011 and we LOVED IT (See previous trip advisor rating)...we had to come back, but you do have the thought 'Will it be as good as last time?' The answer is NO, it was BETTER ! The Surf Simply team seem even more assured than ever of their ability to tutor all visitors to... More

Surf Simply is nestled in the midst of paradise in Nosara, Costa Rica. Ru and his team are professional and experienced instructors dedicated to sharing their craft. I couldn’t have asked for better coaches in Kerianne, Francella, Harry, Oli, Paul and Ru who adapted their lessons to everyone’s skill level. Their determination for making sure we carried out proper positioning... More

I just returned from a week at Surf Simply, having also spent a week there in 2011. It was superb, exceeding even last year's trip. I've had surfing instruction at a couple of places in Hawaii, and had instruction in all sorts of other physical sports over the years - kitesurfing, rock climbing, windsurfing, martial arts, etc. Nothing approaches the...

This was a fantastic adventure trip for the whole family. My wife, three daughters (20, 18 and 15) and I each learned and accomplished a lot in a weeks time. We weren't sure what to expect since our 15 year old surf diva found Ru's podcasts and reviews online and determined this was the place to go. SHE WAS RIGHT!!... More
