I cannot say enough positive things about Surf Simply! I was brand new to surfing and am so grateful to have been given the ultimate foundation to build on what I learned and continue surfing. The coaches are genuinely interested in each and every person and go out of their way to ensure we were comfortable, having fun and progressing... More

Surf Simply is incredible. The quality of the coaching, techniques and tools is top level. For all levels from total beginners (me) to experienced surfers, everyone was stoked and learning. As a total beginning surfer, I learned how to control the board and to pop up within the first sessions. Then, with a combination of theory sessions, video tools, and... More

Surf Simply is a group I now feel privileged to know and have been trained by. This is not a surf camp mill churning out people who can stand up on a board. Ru and his team have created a highly personalized training experience set in a low-key, casual, FUN and incredibly welcoming atmosphere. There are no egos here. Only... More

I've been surfing for about a year and I came here to take my surfing to the next level. The focus here is on technique, making surfing more of a science and less of an art if you get my drift. Also, these folks are really client oriented and everything from the instruction, video analysis, photos memoirs, gourmet food, yoga... More

Where to begin... Ru and his wonderful team have thought of EVERYTHING. From the time that you land in CR (there will be a driver waiting for you w a sign that has your name) to the time you leave everything is taken care of. But not in a way that makes you feel helpless... No, they are sneaky. You... More

I was looking for a surf camp/school, but not looking for a cut rate budget trip. I wanted to travel solo and was really looking for a nice place with good instruction. Surf Simply was the perfect choice. You surf a lot, and the instructors are passionate about their coaching in and around the water, but also their educational courses... More

I have to add my voice to the din. My 20 year old son and I just got back from a week at Surf Simply. From start to finish it was fantastic. Here's why: * The location - Playa Guiones is a great place to learn to surf. Steady weather, consistent swells that work on all tides, a sandy bottom... More

I just got back from Surf Simply (I was there during the week of March 10-17) and it was amazing. Everyone was great--from the other guests to the coaches. My coach was Kerianne and she taught me so much. She kept me on an adrenalin high and had me paddling through some huge waves. I can still hear her voice... More

Living in Oklahoma, the closest I would ever get to surfing is watching it on TV. Fortunately, I do have a TV, and images of waves and surfing always mesmerized me. So the next step was to plan a surfing vacation. Before finding Surf Simply I haphazzardly selected a couple of other surf camps/schools and spent a coulple of weeks... More

First things first: apologies to Surf Simply. This review is very, VERY late. And that’s unforgivable. But I like to think that, like a finely poured pint of Guinness, good things come to those who wait. Right? Right. So, myself and my girlfriend Nikki travelled to Nosara in December to spend the week before Christmas learning how to surf. At... More
