Costa Rica Surf

Trip Highlights

Our programme covers everything you need to know about surfing, from the basics of standing to how to read the ocean. As you advance your skills and your balance improves, you will be taught how to turn and ride bigger waves! If you already have some surf experience or are already an accomplished surfer, you will be able to take on better waves at more exclusive surf spots, with our instructors there to push you to your surfing limits. For new surfers, the programme is broken up into 2 sections – a 5-day beginner’s course and 5 days of further surf lessons, to fine-tune your newly acquired skills. If you have previous surf experience, then you may be asked to join the start of the course as a refresher and then you can join a more advanced group. As you advance, you will travel to other beaches with breaks suitable to a higher standard. If you opt for a surfing only program, the programme consists of a 5-day beginners' course and 3 days of additional lessons. You have the option of completing a Spanish Language course before the surf program begins.
