Surf together.

Bring your family or friends into the water together. Our team works with beginners, experienced surfers and everyone in between, and with several coaches in the water, each person works on their own goals.

I've coached some of the same families for over ten years, with children aged 5 and up.

Message me.

We'll tailor the package to your group. Tell me how many of you there are, everyone's ages and levels, and how many days you're here, and I'll put together the right coaches and schedule.

Larger groups

Up to about 20 surfers at once.

The team can coach up to about 20 surfers in the water at the same time. Bringing a retreat, a school trip or a group stay to Nosara? See Host your retreat.

Good to know.

How young can children start?

From age 5. Children's sessions are 60 minutes.

I've never surfed. Can I come?

Yes. We'll teach you the right way from the beginning. It's a process: you start in the whitewater, focusing on handling the board, standing up and catching waves, and you build gradually from there.

Do I need to sign anything?

Yes. For safety, everyone signs a waiver before they start.

What should I bring?

A long-sleeve rash guard, a hat if you're sensitive to the sun, sunscreen for your face, and water. We provide the board.

Where do we meet?

Playa Guiones. Oscar confirms the exact location by WhatsApp, and timing depends on the tide.

Do you teach in English and Spanish?

Yes, both.

What comes next.

Want to keep going after your trip? This is the Nativos path.

Who's coming?

Send me your group size, everyone's ages and levels, your dates and anything you'd like to work on. I'll put together the right coaches for your group.
