Costa Rica Surf

Learning how to surf is a magical experience.  As you will find out, it can also be an extremely challenging experience. 

Here's my advice: don't try surfing on your own.  It can take years to feel confident about your surfing skills without proper instruction.  You can try learning on your own but you will probably be disappointed with the results.  Surfing is way too difficult to learn by trial and error.  And a lack of knowledge can put you in serious danger in the water.  Also, there is  an entire community of surfers at each surf break that expect you to know the basic rules of surfing etiquette and frown upon anyone not obeying the rules, regardless of your skill level.  

We have provided several articles for all you beginner surfers, designed to answer some of those questions you may be embarrassed to ask.
