Surf Lessons Tamarindo

In Lesson 1, you learn all the essential surfing fundamentals: ocean basics, swell, tides, balance, paddle technique, take-off, safety rules, and how to choose the correct “sweet spot” on your surfboard. We combine theory, land training, and a water session to build a strong foundation.

Lesson 2 focuses on timing, positioning, reading the ocean, when to paddle, where to paddle, when to pop up, and how to create the “hunter mindset” instead of being reactive. You learn step-by-step decision making with land drills and in-water practice.

In Lesson 3, you learn how to ride the wave on the side, use board diagonals, work with rails, angle your take-off, generate speed, improve your body posture, and start your bottom turn. This lesson moves you from beginner level to entering intermediate surfing.

After three lessons, you consolidate everything you’ve learned. You practice a full warm-up routine, wave timing, foot work, rails work, body position, and mental clarity to help you progress with confidence in every session.
