The nearest beach with good waves that break predicatably is Maderas. Pachamama and other hostels can book shuttles for you or take a taxi (15min ride). Maderas has 1 hostel and 3 restaurants but there are boards to rent there.

If you've never surfed before, it's hard to tell if your lesson is a good one or a bad one. We decided to take our first surfing lesson in San Juan del Sur. We practiced on beginner boards--20-foot boards--and had no problems getting up on the first wave we attempted. Apparently, our Spanish isn't too shabby either because the entire lesson was in Spanish, a good 2-for-1 deal! We paid something like $10 for the board and $10/hr for the lesson.
