I traveled to Surf Simply in Costa Rica for the week of March 23rd through 30th, 2013. This was my second trip to Surf Simply. I initially found them via a Google search using the keywords, “world class surf resort” and I can say that phrase captures the essence of Surf Simply to the letter. Surf Simply offers a stellar...

Surf Simply far exceeded my expectations. My husband, Chad had been researching surf camps for a while. He kept telling me about, and showing me the YouTube videos from Surf Simply. Since surfing is so important to him I started to think that this could be the place for me to actually give it a real try. So, I decided... More

Last week was one of the best surf trips of my life! Surf Simply takes care of everything so that all you have to do is surf and spend time with a bunch of fun people. My coach was Jessie. The time I spent with her was a true blessing because we had so much fun and because she helped... More

I have been surfing on and off for 23 years. The learning curve of what little I could accomplish was long and shallow. My friend Rick, whom I believe to be an excellent surfer, recommended surf simply to me. I was convinced when he said the coaches helped him with his surfing. I booked the trip and got very excited... More

Everyone, please stop writing all of these "excellent" reviews for Surf Simply... you're letting the secret out! My first trip was amazing, and my return trip was even better, and I want to make sure that there's room for my 3rd visit. So please, stop telling everyone how really great this place is. Certainly shouldn't mention how beautiful the beaches... More

The surf conditions are great, the coaching is great, and the facilities & food are great. I love surfing but have never really progressed in the way I had hoped I would, so I was looking for a camp/trip where I could get some great instruction. I stumbled onto the Surf Simply podcasts and was very impressed by the technical... More

Read some of the many other glowing reviews for Surf Simply and you'll notice that many of the people are repeat guests. There is a reason for that........ The place is awesome! This was my third time at Surf Simply in CR (I've also been to France with SS). The reason I keep coming back is because I've had the... More

To put it simply, Surf Simply is awesome and good for the soul! Ru and his team have created a highly personalized training experience set in a low-key, positive vibe, casual, fun and incredibly welcoming atmosphere! There are no egos here - only dedicated, fun, and patient coaches (special shout out to Harry who was my coach) who know what... More

The details: I have been surfing for three years, and I have been struggling to get down the line consistently, turn, carve, not nosedive, basically trying to get to the next level. I came across the Surf Simply podcasts (http://www.surfsimply.com/podcast) and they were incredibly informative, but when I found out that there was a school associated with and directed by... More

I was fortunate enough to spend an amazing week at Surf Simply in February 2013. I was a true beginner when I arrived in Nosara and I left with there a wealth of knowledge because of the experienced and knowledgeable instructors. Every detail of the week had been planned so well that I was able to totally relax and focus... More
