They took the time with our family of 5 (3 kids) to help us learn to surf and more importantly, really helped us feel the Pura Vida love of Costa Rica. Highly recommend.Posted on CarlyleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a great overall experience. The team at MASS are very passionate about what they do and it shows. I had to change my booking and they were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. They arrived promptly, transportation was a breeze, and the lesson was great. During the break we were given fresh fruit and coconut water. Combined with that view and the salt air, it was incredible.10/10 recommend.Posted on Hailey MooreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the best time during my surf lesson with this team! Marlon was a great instructor, super knowledgeable, attentive & friendly. The beach was gorgeous and private with the perfect size waves for starting out! Transportation was provided which also added ease to the overall experience. 10/10 recommend and would do again!!Posted on Tim PryshlakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an absolute blast trying to surf (my wife far more successful than myself) for the first time! Marlon and his team were great instructors and so much fun to be around. If you've never surfed before you should definitely reach out and book a lesson while here - you won't regret it. We will be surfing on any vacation that is near a surf locale, thanks to Marlon and the people at MASS for making it so accessible and enjoyable.Posted on Tricia OlsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Unforgettable week in Costa Rica!! All of the staff at MASS were amazing, making me feel welcome before I even arrived, flawlessly assisting with transportation and excursions. The location is ideal, situated between Quepos and Manuel Antonio, only a short, convenient bus ride to either town. Though the traffic noise could be slightly bothersome at times in the afternoon, the abundant flor and fauna and exquisite mountain views of CR made up for it. A highlight for me was viewing macaws, toucans, parakeets, and squirrel monkeys, all while enjoying the delicious complimentary breakfast. Also, the restaurant offered reasonable local cuisine lunch and dinner options in generous portions. Also, if you want to learn to surf, choose MASS, for the great instructors! PURA VIDA!!Posted on Steph LecourtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous avons passé un superbe moment en compagnie de l’équipe de surfschool ! Les premières instructions se font en piscine et ensuite nous sommes allés sur une plage incroyable ! L’encadrement etait parfait👍 ! Je recommande les yeux fermés ! C’était un plaisir de surfer au Costa Rica 🇨🇷 et le moniteur et son équipe sont hilarantes 😆 ! Un moment fort lors de notre voyage à Manuel Antonio !Posted on brad callanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolute best family experience! Took the time to teach us proper technique in the pool, then a short trip to a very private beach, we were the only ones for miles. Everyone got up on the first wave, and the kids didn't want to stop. Fantastic family activity, can't recommend highly enough.Posted on Emanuela SebastianiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This surf school is pure gold! I booked 3 days of surf clinic and was assigned Marlon as an instructor: he was engaging, highly knowledgeable, supportive and generous both off and in the water - he gave me plenty of advice to improve from beginner to intermediate level. The spot I was taken to (Isla Damals) is breath-taking: fringed with plans, no humans in sight, gentle yet substantial waves. During the breaks you get fresh pineapple and coconut water straight from the palm tree. The traditional lunch is also delicious. In short, I felt taken care of, challenged as a surfer and encouraged. A top experience!Posted on Ngoc TranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience!
