Surf Camp in Costa Rica
Progress, Not Just Play
Unlock True Surf Progression in Costa Rica
Welcome to Surfo House, a surf camp in Tamarindo, Costa Rica, designed not for vacationers — but for surfers. This is a place for those who want to level up: from first pop-up to cutback mastery, from hesitation to confidence in the lineup. Unlike typical surf retreats focused on sunsets and selfies, we offer a training-based approach rooted in coaching, ocean knowledge, and real improvement. Whether you're stepping on a board for the first time or looking to break through a plateau, this is where technique, feedback, and purpose come together.

Weekly Flow That Works
Train, rest, repeat. We pace the week to build your skills while giving you time to recover, explore, and enjoy Tamarindo.
Our Training Methodology
At Surfo House, we believe surfing is a lifelong craft that requires more than just catching waves — it demands alignment between body, mind, and the ocean. That’s why we’ve developed a holistic, science-backed methodology that empowers surfers at every level to unlock their full potential through structured progression.
The 8 Core Pillars of Our Method
01
Daily in-water sessions, video analysis, and surfskate training help build precision, control, and wave-reading skills both in and out of the water.
Surfing as a Sport
02
Surf-specific workouts target pop-ups, paddling, and turns — while also correcting muscle imbalances and boosting endurance, mobility, and injury prevention.
Functional Training for Surfers
03
Breath-focused movement and recovery-focused flows improve flexibility, reduce stiffness, and help you stay grounded in and out of the lineup.
Yoga for Surfers
04
Learn to stay calm under stress, increase your breath hold, and train your body to recover faster — essential for wipeouts and duck dives.
Apnea Training & Breath Control
05
Master your mental game with tools to overcome fear, build confidence, and find flow under pressure — no matter your level.
Sport Psychology
06
Gain deep knowledge of swell behavior, tides, currents, and wave formation so you can read the ocean and make smarter decisions.
Surf Theory & Ocean Literacy
07
Understand how different boards, fins, and gear affect your performance — and how to select the right setup for your goals.
Surf Equipment Knowledge
08
Learn how to fuel and recover like an athlete with practical guidance on hydration, energy management, and anti-inflammatory foods.
Nutrition for Surfers
Tailored Progression by Level
Every week is adapted to your specific level — not just by assigning you to the right group, but by customizing the intensity, focus, and learning curve across all components. Each level incorporates the 8 pillars with different depth and intensity. Our methodology evolves with you — so you always train just beyond your comfort zone, where real growth happens.
Beginner (Levels 1–4)
Learn the foundations of pop-ups, whitewater control, and safe ocean entry. Overcome fear and build confidence.
Beginner/Intermediate (Levels 5–8)
Start riding green waves, refine your body position, and develop timing and control.
Intermediate/Advanced (Levels 9–12)
Improve carving, flow, compression/extension, and generate power through maneuvers.
Advanced (Levels 13–17)
(future expansion)
Strategic surfing, lineup mastery, high-performance technique, and peak conditioning.
