Surf Costa Rica - Surfing Schools

Costa Rica has some of the best surfing anywhere in the world, offering everything from areas perfect for the beginner to areas that draw experienced surfers and pros. Even better, our surfers are better looking!

Every year many people visit the country to test their skill, add to their skills or just to learn. These include pros, serious amateurs and of course the newbies who come to this beautiful country.

So why just sit on your butt sunbathing on one of Costa Rica's fine beaches? Get out and learn a sport that you can enjoy all your life. Besides, you can build new cancer cells just as easy and maybe better while you are out surfing!

If you want to learn to surf, you have come to the right place.Some teach just surfing. Some mix learning Spanish with learning to surf. Then, if you fall of your board, you can yell for help (or swear) in the local language! How cool is THAT!

I sadly, am surfing challenged. The two times I tried, I fell off the board while it was still safely on the beach. But my personal tragedy need not be yours! Do it!

Here are a few schools... there are many more I am sure, but this should get you started!
