While on my honeymoon in Costa Rica I wanted to do some surfing. A friend recommended Frijoles Locos and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. I liked it so much in fact I booked a second lesson. Both my instructors, JJ and Justin where awesome. Knowledgeable, patient with great energy / enthusiasm. Me not being an experienced surfer, they explained the basics, helped me catch some great waves and I left feeling like a better more confident surfer. They also brought a beach chair for my wife to use while enjoying the beach. In addition to the lessons the surf shop was awesome and Drew (the owner) was very helpful and welcoming. He gave my wife and I some great restaurant recommendations that were some of our best finds in the area. I will definitely recommend them to friends and go back next time I’m in Costa Rica.Eli was very accommodating in helping us coordinate our lesson. Justin, our instructor, was awesome! He was patient and gave clear and simple directions. You can tell he loves his job! Great experience.

Surf lessons in February 2020. JJ and Justin were our guides - great teachers - they brought incredible energy to our experience. Group of 5, dad plus 4 teens, none of us had ever surfed before and every one of us caught waves and rode them in. at $40 per person the value proposition of the group lesson is excellent. Strongly recommend if you have never surfed and want to learn in a safe and fun environment.My three teenagers took surf lessons in the group lesson.

My three teenagers took surf lessons in the group lesson. There were two other people and the two instructors. They had a fantastic time and they surfed late afternoon until sunset. Sunset on the beach was an added bonus - so beautiful! The instructors were fun and laid back. The shop provided rash guards, boards and transportation to the beach from the shop if needed. It was a great afternoon and very affordable! Highly recommend!I had a surf lesson with Justin on Jan 1 and i dont think i could have started the new year a better way it was amazing thank you again Justin your the best i hope i’ll have lessons with you again :-)
