Costa Rica surf school gives an unparalleled experience in both learning the basics and progressing with your form. Our family of six ranged in experience age from 26 to 60. Each of us got up thanks to the patient instruction from people who truly wanted us to succeed. This is a small local business that deserves your support.

I had such an amazing experience! Jairo and Meg made me feel so welcome from the moment I got there. They went above and beyond to provide everything I needed to make it perfect. Jairo’s surf training was so helpful and Meg’s planning and insight made everything so organized and easy. It was the perfect balance between fun, exciting activities and relaxation.

Our Costa Rica surf trip was a blast! Meg and Jairo were terrific and took care of all the fine details to make our trip special and specific to our liking. There were 3 of us traveling together, all with different interests, and Meg and Jairo made it all work. The accommodations were perfect, food was great, and people all around were kind and courteous. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and Costa Rica and the Costa Rica Surf Trip team! Pura Vida!

I’ve been home for a week from surf camp with CR Surf Trip and I’m still on cloud nine. Every single detail of the trip was perfect, thanks to Meg and Jairo. The surf camp package is entirely customizable based on your preferences – you could have non-stop adventures, beach lounging, or anything in between. I’d book any package they offer without hesitation, and building your own trip with their invaluable assistance will ensure you get *exactly* the trip you’re dreaming of, whether you surf or not. The resources and relationships they have at their fingertips, and the lengths they’ll go to for you, will astound you. I can’t recommend surf camp and coaching highly enough – Jairo is a truly gifted athlete and an even better instructor. Everyone can benefit from time in the water with him, whether you’ve surfed your whole life or want to try it for the first time. I’m already planning a return trip to Costa Rica, hopefully the second of many, and wouldn’t dream of traveling with anyone else.

    Surfing
    This camp allows surfers at all stages to be matched with appropriate waves for your surf level with your choice of surf instruction or surf coaching. This Nosara surf camp is known for its focus on making major improvements in a short timespan due to surf work in smaller groups for more individualized and focused training sessions each day with our professional team of experts.

    Yoga
    Outside of your surf practice, you will indulge in calm and intentional morning restorative yoga practice each day. This yoga practice is best led by an instructor who also surfs—your movements, positions, and deep stretches will not only increase your physical flexibility and release lactic acid build up from intense use, but it will also reset and prepare your mind for a new day of learning and progress. All guests rave about these Nosara yoga sessions (even those who are skeptical of the benefits before experiencing it)!
