Discover the Best Surf Experience in Costa Rica

Playa Grande and Tamarindo are among Costa Rica’s top surfing destinations. Our surf lessons are carefully scheduled according to the ocean tides to provide the best possible learning conditions.

Because Playa Grande is highly tide-dependent, lesson times change daily. We strongly recommend booking your lessons in advance so we can create the ideal schedule for your stay.

Each lesson includes 90 minutes of professional instruction, surfboard rental, and a rash guard. Whether it’s your first time on a surfboard or you’re looking to improve your technique, our experienced instructors will guide you every step of the way.

For your convenience, we also provide door-to-door hotel pickup and drop-off service.

Tours are available year-round, seven days a week, weather and ocean conditions permitting.
