Why choose a surf camp over just the standard hotel and SUV rental?
1. You don’t have to drive and that means no need for gas money or car insurance costs
2. They know the best uncrowded surf breaks and when to go.
3. You meet other surfers from around the world.
4. You support the local surfing community.

These are our recommended camps, surf schools, and retreats based in Costa Rica. They were chosen because we know they provide the best service, have the best instructors, and support the local surf community.
