Why Playa Grande for Surf Lessons?

Obviously, you have the entire country of Costa Rica to choose from as your surf lesson destination, so why Playa Grande? There are a few reasons. Lack of crowds is one big reason. When learning to surf, the last thing you want is to be among 50 other beginners taking their first surf lesson.

Playa Grande is a huge beach, with plenty of space for our surf instructors to select a quiet, uncrowded location for your surf lesson. Playa Grande is a long stretch of beach, which, at the most southerly point intersects with Tamarindo. Typically, the south end of Playa Grande beach has the smallest waves most suitable for beginner surf lessons.

When the waves are not suitable for lessons at the north end of the beach, our instructors will take you to where it is more sheltered and fun to learn on. There may be some days where it just is not the right conditions for lessons, and we will advise you of this, suggesting another, more suitable day.

For us, it is much more important that you enjoy your surfing experiences here in Playa Grande, and that you are taken surfing when the conditions facilitate this.
