Customer Comments

"I learned and improved more in one day of surfing with Surf Diva than I did in three weeks of surfing on my own.  The instructor was great, very helpful, friendly, and responsive to my  questions.  The Hospitality Coordinator was also very friendly and arranged everything for us, including our canopy tour, which made our trip very relaxing and stress-free."

" I had the most amazing time at surf camp. I raved about it for weeks after returning home. I've recommended it to all my girlfriends. The locale couldn't not have been better. The instructors and staff were so friendly. The camp is really well-organized and the atmosphere is unbelievably supportive. I was so lucky to have met such an awesome group of women."

-Jennifer July '08

"I enjoyed every minute of my trip. For me, this trip was about empowerment and challenging my body and my mind. I got all that I wanted and met a group of wonderful women on top of it all. PLUS, I now consider myself a surfer after never being on a surfboard before in my life."

-Sally '08

"The combination of location, surfing, GREAT staff and new great diva friends was profound."

-Melissa '08

"I didn't know how to surf before the trip and I now feel like a surfer. I have traveled around the world and domestically a lot and I've never experienced anything like Surf Diva."

-Sandee July '08

"It was not just the critique but also the encouragement which gave me a lot more confidence in the water than I would have otherwise had. As far as I'm concerned every surfing spot in the world could use a little Surf Diva, have taken lessons before but never thought of myself as someone who could ever surf and your chicas really changed my mind. Thank you for your Surf Diva philosophy and how it spills over into who you choose to teach and where you choose to have your camps...muchas muchas gracias."

-Kara '08

"My experience at Surf Diva Costa Rica was a fun and unique vacation that I know I will cherish. The team in Costa Rica made us feel comfortable instantly in Nosara, in the water and as a group. There was something special about begin apart of the family week. I truly enjoyed being with a group to succeed. This dynamic makes this week feel like I was spending my vacation with old friends and not strangers."

-Gabrielle '08

"The program was really well organized and well put together. I was very impressed. It was a great experience and exceeded my expectations."

-Lori May '08

"I can't believe I waited this long to do the trip!"

-Adrienne March '08

"As always, Surf Diva highly exceeded my expectations."

-Dorothy '08

"You exceeded my expectations. That is hard to do. The best part was at every meal we all laughed at something and had a really great time together. One of the reasons I chose Surf Diva was because through out all my research I kept coming back to the level of professionalism put into the running of the company as a whole. There is a method and process in place within your organization to teach this sport. That's something missing in every other surfing lesson I've taken."

-Suzanne '08

"Great surf town. Nice and small. Great beach...The break was very consistent and fun...to surf."

-Jennifer January '08

"I went from being a non surfer, to feeling confident that I could go out and surf on my own. If that is not beneficial, I don't know what is."

-Krista December '07

"More than beneficial. I walked into the camp afraid of the water and left as the most 'intense paddler'. I can't believe I can catch a wave on my own now! The whole week was amazing- a trip NEVER to forget."

-Sarah November '07

"I am so grateful to [Surf Diva] for helping me to have my dream come true, to finally learn to surf. This is the first time I have gone on a one week adventure and felt like I was away for three weeks because so much was packed into my daily schedule...I had a blast and began 2007 with a totally new perspective. I feel so physically strong...I highly recommend this program to my friends and also to anyone interested in really learning to surf."

-Marina January '07

-Lori February '07

"It was an active yet relaxing vacation. I feel very lucky to have experienced this with the group of women that were there. They were all professional, adventurous, smart women who were there to enjoy their time and learn something new. I felt more brave and empowered being among them all-including the instructors. It is a wonderful program and I would recommend it to my friends. Overall, it was an exceptional experience, one that I will forever remember fondly. "

"This was a great experience! Even as a non-athlete, I felt like I could keep up. The instructors were all friendly and encouraging. Annie was my instructor and she was wonderful-always with a smile on her face and a word of instruction or encouragement. She helped make this a fantastic time! Lise was very capable-we always felt secure whether in the water or in a cab. She had everything under control. Great staff!"

"This is obviously a very professional organization with a well run program. Our instructors (Poppy, KT, and especially Annie) were top notch in caring for our needs. I have already recommended your trip to others. I’ll be back in Costa Rica for sure. Mahalo! P.S. I loved the camaraderie that the all women camp fosters. Great work ladies!!"

"I had a blast. I’ve always wanted to learn to surf and love the ocean. I can’t imagine a better place to learn or better folk to teach me. A best buddy of 22 years went with me and she loved it too. Our husbands and kids are really proud of us. This group really had a good time together. Nice variety of ages. I’d surf again with you all in a heartbeat!"

"Truly, Lise is a rockstar! She could not have made us feel more at home, safe, and confident. Her knowledge of the town helped us to have an equally fun time on land as we did in the water. The trip exceeded all of my expectations."
