Surfing in Costa Rica
Surf programs now start every week! Please email us for details. Subject to availability and may not be available during peak
season.
Costa Rica is home to some of the best surf in the world. The Playa Jacó
/ Hermosa area is widely regarded as the most consistent surf in the country.
There are a wide variety of breaks nearby and plenty of un-crowded waves
for everyone. The School of the World has designed special surf programs
that include guided surf trips to local spots as well as other field trips
and activities. Lodging is included for all Surf Program participants. Surf
programs are available in one, two, and four week durations year-round and
can also be combined with Spanish, Art, or Digital Photography classes.
Beginners:
Learn to surf in the warm tropical waters of Costa Rica with the help of our friendly and experienced staff. You will learn the basics of paddling, standing, and turning, as well as wave selection and other fundamental skills. We have to warn you though: Surfing is addictive!
Intermediate/Advanced Surfers:
Surf students with previous surfing experience are taken on guided surf sessions in the Playa Jacó / Hermosa area. Let our local guides show you where the best breaks are so you can make the most of your surf vacation.
Special note : All fieldtrips are subject to availability. The School of the World staff can arrange additional field trips for students. Possibilities include deep-sea fishing, sailing, kayaking, horseback riding, canopy tour, and sunset boat trips to name a few. Prices for these vary according to availability, number of people going, and the season, but we can definitely help you receive a discount on these fun activities in our area. In addition to helping you set up extra-curricular activities, we can also help you plan your weekend trips to other destinations in Costa Rica.
This combo is one of our most popular programs. The Spanish class schedule is written with the tides and best surf times in mind so that you can learn the language and enjoy Jacó's favorite pastime.
Note: Surfing is a sport that is determined by ocean and weather conditions. The School of the World reserves the right to determine if a class will be cancelled due to scheduling conflicts, dangerous wave heights, or bad weather conditions (i.e. lightning). We aim to take students surfing every day possible, but safety is our primary concern.
