Coconut Harry's Student Testimonials

 

"Our family took surf lessons from Coconut Harry's on our very first day in Costa Rica and we had a blast. We had two instructors, one for our two boys and one for my husband and myself so it was like a private lesson. We were amazed at how quickly the kids were up and surfing, within a couple of tries. The instructors were patient but firm about what we needed to do. By the end of the lesson we were all feeling pretty confident and decided to rent boards for the week so that we could practice.

My only regret was that we didn't sign up for an additional lesson later in the week to build on the skills that were originally taught. Dealing with all the Coconut Harry employees was a pleasant experience, even when my son broke a surfboard fin!. We had a great time in Costa Rica and Coconut Harry's was a large part of that experience. Thanks Steve!" - Wanda and Greg Shepherd

 

"It was awesome!. Andrey took great care of us. We surfed everyday- The last lesson I surfed on my own and Andrey took my boyfriend out for some curls that he was soooo pumped to catch and I would have never let him go out that far so it was a great opportunity."

"I spent two days in Hawaii a few years ago learning how to surf- and in the two days I rode ONE wave. The beach in Hawaii was very narrow and rocky on the bottom. I did not receive instruction on anything but the "pop up". With you guys on Playa Guiones - the beach was perfect-soft and sandy- wide open. We rode tons of waves the first day. It was just a perfect non threatening way to learn. I learned how to turn front and back, read waves, and proper form." - Cindy Bradfish, TN

 

"Steve, We ended up walking into your store and talking with Andrey . He was great. He and Jairo took Julie and I out a few times and I actually got up and rode a few in! Your guys were great. Very polite and fun to be around."

"I just wanted to tell you that I had a great experience at your store during my recent trip down. My teenage son and his buddy were arriving at Nosara separately by bus and taxi from San Jose, and we had a moment or two of concern as they missed their bus and didn't make the first connection to town. We went to the top of the hill to catch the bus as it went by. And your staff, especially Esteban, was extremely helpful in answering our questions, flagging down a bus or two and then calling the hotel in San Jose to solve the whole mystery."

For days after that, Esteban was full of smiles, pura vidas and offers of help whenever we saw him, in the water or on shore. He is a fine young man and quite an ambassador for your business."

You also have another employee, Jairo who was also quite pleasant to deal with. Just thought you might want to know that I was impressed. Regards" - Matt
