Meet your guides
The goal is not simply to get you on a wave, but to help you understand the ocean and become a more confident, capable, and knowledgeable surfer.
Every lesson begins on the beach, where we cover the fundamentals before entering the water:
Once we paddle out, we put that knowledge into practice. During the first hour especially, your instructor works with you on:
Surfing is a conversation with the ocean. Session by session you build the judgment that makes a surfer: where to sit, which wave to choose, when to go.
Our private surf trips are the ultimate way to explore Costa Rica's and Nicaragua's most breathtaking breaks. From the Pacific's legendary surf breaks like Pavones, Matapalo, and Barranca, to Guanacaste's golden sands of Nosara, Santa Teresa, and the iconic Witch's Rock, as well as Nicaragua's beautiful surf havens like Popoyo and San Juan del Sur, we craft each journey to match your dream.
Every trip is fully customizable: we arrange private transportation, boutique accommodations, and a personalized itinerary. Wherever we go, your guide brings local knowledge of the beach, the break, the conditions, and the best places to position yourself in the lineup.
And beyond surfing, we guide you to the best local eats, a cool post-surf coffee, or even other Costa Rican and Nicaraguan attractions. Whether it's a serene morning paddle or an all-day surf quest, we're there to ensure each wave, each meal, and each moment is unforgettable.
Our surf guides, instructors, and coaches bring 10 to 15 years of professional surfing experience. Bilingual, passionate, and deeply rooted in Costa Rica's surf culture, they know both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts inside and out, as well as the best breaks in Nicaragua.
With ISA certifications as instructors and coaches, they guide surfers of all levels, from first-timers to seasoned pros.
We provide a wide variety of surfboards for every style and skill, or you can bring your own. Just let us know, and we'll make sure you have the perfect board and guidance for your session.
