Our Clients’ Experience
“I’m a chunky dude with a bum knee who had never surfed in my life. I road my first of many waves within my first few tries. These guys were professional, friendly, and great with beginners like me. They also took great photos/videos. Excellent price and service. Highly recommend.”
“This is THE place to go for surf in Nica! 🙌 I had one of my best ever surfing weeks, I made some wonderful new friends, and I can’t wait to come back :)
After planning a last minute trip to SJDS, I took a chance and found Tribu on Google, and given their amazing reviews, I decided to try them out. I am honestly so glad I did! ...”
“ I’ve been taking lessons with Tribu for the last 3 months, and my original review 100% still stands! I’ve progressed quite a bit from my very first lesson with them and will most definitely continue to work with them. It’s so encouraging having a team that’s so invested in seeing you get better!”
