If you’re planning a surf trip to Costa Rica and aren’t sure about where to stay, how to get surfboards, where to surf, where to eat, or who to talk to in order to figure out all these things, then the Costa Rica Surf Club might be the right place for you to go. This Costa Rica surf camp will take care of everything for you, and for a pretty decent price. They are located in Tamarindo, Costa Rica, a region known for great surf with few crowds.

The Costa Rica Surf Club offers surf camps for beginner and experienced surfers, a surf shop to buy and rent boards from, expert ding repair, accommodations of all types (hostels, hotels and apartments), transportation to surf spots, and lessons for beginners. They also help arrange other tours for you such as diving, sailing, fishing, and canopy tours, and will even point you in the direction of the good places to eat downtown.

The Costa Rica Surf Club offers two types of camps: beginner and explorer. Both of them include accommodations for 7 nights with daily breakfasts, free internet use, daily surf support and information, unlimited surfboard use and daily surf reports. The beginner camp is focused around teaching you to surf in a nice bay sheltered from large swells. They have a very good system for teaching surf lessons, which includes filming the surfers in order to review how you did on TV later on. Watching yourself surf is probably the best thing you can do if you want to improve. They make you a DVD of your trip to take home with you as well!

The explorer camp is all about finding the best waves with the least crowds. These guys have a lot of experience in the region and can guarantee you will find the most remote and secluded waves that the Tamarindo region has to offer. I’ve been to Costa Rica before and decided I could find the best waves myself without any help. After being down there and trying, I understand the importance of having some local knowledge. I would have been at the right spots at the right times had I gone through a surf camp with experienced locals who could guide me to the best waves at any given time. I would definitely recommend the explorer camp to experienced surfers who want to get good waves on their trip to surf Costa Rica.

With the current cost of traveling with a surfboard, it might be wise to consider renting from the Costa Rica Surf Club surf shop. Your trip to surf Costa Rica could otherwise get very expensive. As mentioned above, if you are part of the surf camps then you have unlimited access to the surfboards. But even if you are not, for just $120 a week you can have the same access to the whole quiver. They have many different boards to choose from, including Firewire, Rusty, Lost, Walden, Tuflite, NSP and soft-top boards.

Next time you plan to surf Costa Rica, take a good look at what the Costa Rica Surf Club has to offer because they offer just about everything you could want out of a Costa Rica surf camp. The staff are experienced surfers, very friendly, and will really help you to understand and experience the Pura Vida lifestyle of Costa Rica.
