Surfing Costa Rica!

If surfing is your passion - or you really want to learn to surf - you have come to the right place!

Surfing started here in the 70's when pioneers from California, Australia, and Europe found empty beachbreaks, points, and reef breaks. They told their friends, set up camp, taught the locals to surf and make boards, and the rest is history.

There are four major areas for surfing- North Pacific, Central Pacific, South Pacific, and Caribbean Coast. A huge advantage of  Costa Rica is that it is a relatively small country, so if the breaks aren't happening in one area - then they normally are someone else. Costa Rica is the ideal location for a surfing vacation!

We are located in the centre of the Pacific Central area (Puerto Quepos - see map below). In the central pacific region waves can be found year round. We have a surf beach, Boco Quepos, just 5 minutes away, and others very close. Less than an hour away finds you at excellent Playas Dominical.  Other consistent beachbreaks are Mal Pais, and Playa Hermosa. There are also nearby point breaks, and Boca Barranca (near Puntarenas), is a left that goes 800 yards with a good south swell!
