I had my very first surfing experience with Alvaro, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Starting completely from zero, he helped me progress incredibly fast. After just a few lessons, I went from learning the basics to being out in the lineup and catching waves. Alvaro has an amazing eye for detail and is extremely pedagogical in the way he teaches. His feedback is clear, encouraging, and truly helps you improve quickly, while safety is always his top priority. I’m already looking forward to coming back for more lessons with him. If you’re considering surf lessons, I can warmly recommend Salt water surfing co. You won’t regret it.

We had the most incredible surf lesson and cannot say enough good things about Alvaro! He taught my husband and me (both in our 50s) along with our kids—two in their early 20s and one in their late teens—and made it fun, encouraging, and confidence-building for all of us. Alvaro was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely tuned in to each person’s ability and comfort level. From first pop-ups to improving technique, everyone felt supported and successful. This was a highlight of our trip and a memory we’ll talk about for many years. Such a great experience!

Alvaro and his team are the best surf coaches in Playa Hermosa! I learned so much in just a week of lessons, truly cannot recommend enough! The location is gorgeous, and the waves are perfect for all levels while also enjoying time at the beach. A must book if you’re looking to surf in Costa Rica!

I had such a great time learning how to surf here. The instructor was super patient, fun and really made me feel comfortable in the water. I took a few lessons and improved so much more than I expected. It ended up being one of the best parts of my trip. Can’t wait to come back. Pura vida!

We have worked with Alvaro several times in the past. This year we had a longer stay in Costa Rica and rented a car to try different breaks. Not only did Alvaro help us with accommodations and the car rental, but we really improved our surfing! Some days we drove together from Santa Teresa to Cabuya, and along the way Alvaro shared so many facts and stories about Costa Rica from significant sights to traditional plant medicine. Alvaro is a true professional. He would check the conditions and choose the next day’s break based on our skill level. He worked with a videographer and reviewed the footage with us to make corrections. He is straightforward and clear in his instructions and always puts safety first. Over the many years we’ve been Alvaro’s clients, we truly feel cared for and comfortable. He and his team want you to be the best surfers you can be, and have a great time doing it! I highly recommend this experience.

Salt water surfing co is THE BEST!!! We just returned home from our third Mother-Daughter Surf Yoga trip to Costa Rica surfing with Salt water Surfing co’s instructor Alvaro. He instills knowledge and confidence in safety for self as well other surfers. We had successful sessions each day progressing, adding skills, changing boards and adapting to different conditions all while having a blast! So far, I’m pretty content being a white water warrior- I love honing my skills with “concierge” wave service- Alvaro assists as needed while I become re-acquainted and then helps me as I become more independent in the process. Each day I feel successful and excited for the next. My daughter has progressed more quickly and spent the week in the line up surfing in some LEGIT waves- her confidence soared as she not only caught amazing waves and had memorable rides - but she challenged her comfort-zone head on with the help of Alvaro’s expertise and experience. Can’t wait for our next trip and look forward to working with Salt water surfing co again!

Alvaro is an amazing surf teacher if you're looking to improve your surfing. He genuinely cares about your progress and focuses on skills that help you become more independent in the water—like paddling, wave selection, and positioning. He creates a safe and supportive environment while also encouraging you to push your limits and gain confidence in different conditions. Highly recommend!
