Surfing Lessons in Costa Rica

Give surfing a try with a beginner's lesson in Tamarindo, one of Costa Rica's most popular surf spots. Learn basic moves like paddling, standing up, and balancing from the comfort of the beach before putting your new skills into practice out in the water. The no-pressure lesson is held at a location with gentle waves and shallow waters that are ideal for those just starting out.

Catch a Costa Rican wave with a 2-hour surf lesson in Jaco Beach, and learn to read the surf, paddle and ride as you practice alongside a professional instructor. Take your first ride with a group of fellow beginners, or improve your skills by catching waves outside of the surf zone. Enjoy gentle waves, then challenge yourself by paddling into bigger surf as you soak up the sun along Costa Rica's scenic Pacific Coast.
