Reviews
Pura Vida Surfers!!
If you want to get better at surfing than this is your guys! They are professionals and know exactly what they are doing.
They criticize and motivate you and even go through movie clips in the evenings for better understanding.
I would say you should go more than a week to really see improvement.

Best surf lessons I've had!
I had a great time with Pura Vida surf instructors. I am not a beginner surfer but also not advanced and have a long way to go.
I spent a lot of time with Victor and Rubin, who were absolutely phenomenal - not only are they fantastic surfers, but they are amazing coaches to help you learn.
From the first day they picked out what I did wrong and fixed a lot of things that I did wrong in a very short time.
Probably the best coaching I've ever had, I ended up extending my stay at Santa Teresa just to continue taking lessons with them!
