About This Tour
Hi to all, I'm Alvaro, a Venezuelan living in the beautiful Tamarindo Beach, Costa Rica, a surf instructor, and the Manager of Tidal Wave Surf Academy. My journey with surfing started in Venezuela, 18 years ago, on a beach called Chirimena, and I surfed almost all of Venezuela's central coast. Four years ago, I arrived in Tamarindo, fell in love with this beach town, and started to provide surf lessons. I am an ISA-certified Certified Surf Instructor and I have vast experience teaching children and adults to surf. Surfing has given me balance, calm, and a sense of meaning, and I enjoy transmitting the passion of surfing by teaching people the sport that has given me so much. I am excited about sharing my knowledge and experience with you and helping you get the most out of your surfing experience. I believe that the ocean is a source of peace and relaxation for people of all ages.
