About
Frijoles Locos is the surf shop in Playa Grande for lessons and rentals, and the instructors are why people rebook — Giovanni especially gets named again and again for clear, encouraging teaching, along with Sebas and Andres. They start you on training boards, then move you onto a rental, and beginners describe standing up and catching waves the same day. Renting is seamless too: they'll even help strap boards to your car.

Had the best experience with Frijoles Locos!! My friend and I took surf lessons with Giovanni, and he was amazing. Taught us on the training boards and then on the boards we were renting which was super helpful—stood up many times and caught a few fun little waves. Great teacher, explained corrections clearly, super friendly, and very encouraging! We had so much fun and will definitely be renting boards from them again. Thanks so much, pura vida!
Five stars all around for Frijoles Locos! This surf shop truly stands out—not only for their professional instruction, but for the warm, positive vibe that everyone brings. We were lucky enough to have Sebas as our instructor, and he made the entire experience unforgettable. His calm, supportive style helped us feel at ease and have so much fun out in the water. We ended up booking a second lesson with him because we enjoyed it that much! Whether you’re brand new to surfing or looking to improve your skills, this is the place to go in Playa Grande. Thanks again to Sebas and the awesome team at Frijoles Locos!
Drew and his team were absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, everything was seamless. We had an amazing time during our surf lessons with Giovanni and Andres—they were knowledgeable, fun, great coaches!, and made the experience a ton of fun. After the lessons, we rented boards. Highly recommend Friojles Surf Shop for anyone looking for a top-notch surf experience!
