Surf lessons with Richard 🤘
Jason_B, July 2023
Richard was upbeat and funny, but when it came to the surfing part…all business! He will make sure you are up and running!
The absolute BEST surf instructor!
David_O, July 2023
Our experience learning to surf with Richard and Pelican Experiences was the absolute best! His energy and positive attitude are so contagious but he supports that with a very professional and expert approach to his teaching and coaching. Great communicator and motivator. Perfect English. If we did it over again, we would have got a package with him - maybe lessons every day or every other day. The kids got so much better on their second lesson - they were surfing a bit, not just standing up and being pushed by the wave. By the way, even the parents were regularly getting up on waves all week with the foundation Richard provided us on our only lesson. Loved the coconut water in the parking lot after a morning of surfing. He provide rash guards and boards of course. Because we had four taking lessons, he brought another instructor - Melissa, who was also fantastic. Richard also loves Costa Rica and Santa Teresa and so enjoyable just to hang out and talk with him. A great guy and couldn’t be more of a fan. Five plus stars!

Amazing Surfing Lesson
Brandon_T, Apr 2023
Richard was a great instructor to have for my very first surfing lesson! He was very prepared, giving me a long-sleeved surf shirt and a 9’ board in perfect condition. We started out with some stretches (very important) followed by “dry” practice, going through the motions on the beach. He was very professional and made sure I knew exactly what to do to succeed and be safe. After a few minutes of this we went into the water and put it into practice. Richard was always ready to go, and did a great job coaching me & stabilizing me on every run. He had me up on the board & riding a wave on the second attempt. Great energy from him the entire lesson, and he was just as happy and excited by my successes as I was. Would absolutely surf with him again.
Amazing!!!

We really loved the surf lesson! We found Richard to be a very good teacher, his positive vibe is contagious!!! After 1 fall I already managed to stay on the surfboard. Highly recommended! 🏄♀️
Richard Rocks!

Richard is awesome!!! We ended our trip with these surf lessons and it was the perfect conclusion. Neither me nor my friend though we would stand up on the surfboard but we both did, many times! Richard, the instructor, was such a great teacher and also so much fun. 100% recommend these lessons for anyone interested in learning how to surf in the Santa Teresa area.
Richard is who you want

Richard was a fantastic instructor. Both of us were standing before we knew it. He gave good tips while standing on the board so we could directly feel the improvement while riding the wave.
