Our 3 Days Surf Package in Tamarindo is the perfect introduction to surfing in Costa Rica. Designed for beginners and travelers with limited time, this package combines professional surf lessons, quality equipment, and personalized coaching in a fun and relaxed environment. Learn the basics of paddling, balance, and wave riding while enjoying the warm waters of Tamarindo Beach.

This short program is ideal for first-time surfers looking to experience the Pura Vida lifestyle and catch their first waves safely and confidently.

What Your 3 Days Will Look Like

Each morning, your instructor evaluates current tides and sea conditions to choose the best spot and time for your session. Lessons begin on the beach with a safety briefing and warm-up before you move into the water. By day two, most students are already riding unbroken waves with growing confidence. By the final session, the goal is for you to read and catch real ocean waves on your own. Your instructor provides hands-on corrections after every ride so that you progress quickly, safely, and with real skill.

Ideal For:

  • First-time surfers
  • Short stays in Tamarindo
  • Travelers who want a taste of surfing

“My husband and I tried a few other surf schools in Tamarindo… In just one hour, he explained what we hadn't managed to learn in three previous days. By the end, my husband and I were able to surf our first waves on our own.”
