Ride...
Surf Costa Rica is an adventure in itself. An organization that helps:
  • Surfers find trusted, registered surf schools and surf coaches

  • Surf Schools get registered and receive more bookings, easier

  • Local community receive support and surf connection

While we make it easier for you to surf, we do the same for the local children.

Half of your booking fee goes directly on projects for local kids, the other half helps grow the business so we can replicate our programs across the entire country, and beyond.

Our CoastLine App (Google Play and Apple {LINKS}) allows surfers the same data you’ve find on Surfline, but free of ads, further future forecasts, and simplified. Long-term, simple surf forecasting, just for Costa Rica. Cameras and advanced features coming...


Inspired...

Surf, like any adventure sport, asks something of you. Answer, and you’ll receive something in return so valuable, it transforms lives. Buoyed by the connection to nature, and released by quiet disconnection from their life situation, people who search for adventure, reevaluate. Reinvigorate. You meet them. From Celtic drug addict turned climb center owner, to Venezuelan refugee turned high-performance kite surf coach.
 
Followers are everywhere. Yet, you don’t have to follow it’s path to learn it’s lesson.

Wisdom comes from learned experience and what surf offers transfers transformation to all areas of live. Learn self-discipline and how to control your thoughts, and you can become unstoppable, wherever you find your calling.
Values of dedication to mastery, overcoming fears, and confronting limitations are values which create strong characters. We are inspired to expose these ideas to children for them to explore themselves, wrapped in the supportive surf community and encouraged at every step.

Our programs are based around these principles and run through our Foundation, Leoncitos.

Leoncitos...

Leoncitos is our Foundation. ‘Little Lions’ describes the roaring, brave, confident little kids that Surf Costa Rica hope to help form, through our programs and those of our close partners. Some projects already planned or underway are safehouse services for vulnerable women and children, English classes, digital education and career pathways, and local sports grants.
