Those who have tried surfing only in a swimsuit will know the natural feeling that can only be experienced in the southern hemisphere. That is why Costa Rica is one of the best places in the world.

Location

The surfcamp takes place in the town of Tamarindo, which currently has two thousand inhabitants. It is located right on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica on the Nicoya Peninsula, a four-hour drive from the capital San José. In the vicinity there are many surf spots with different bottom (cliff, stone, sand), quality and wave type. Tamarindo is one of the most dynamically developing areas in Costa Rica, renowned for its nightlife, restaurants and good service levels. Tamarinda’s main beach hosts one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world every night, which decades ago touched the creator of the documentary Endless Summer to such an extent that in their cult blockbuster they gave him one long and incredibly cheesy shot.
