Pura Vida Surf
Adventures
Our surf camps are situated in the scenic village of Malpais on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Expansive
beaches and a tropical rain forest surround Malpais, creating fascinating landscapes and stunning views. This region is also a haven for all levels of surfers. The main beaches, Playa Carmen and Santa Teresa, provide easy, fun waves in which to learn while the surrounding area has it all... point, reef and beach breaks.
Malpais, Costa Rica
Malpais is an international surf destination. Our campers tend to meet the locals and other surfers. The town itself is more like a little village and doesn't have an array of shops. It is more spread out with restaurants and hotels and is about 6 miles long. There are hiking trails in the area along with other activities that are not included in the tour: horseback riding,
sailing, fishing, canopy touring, scuba diving, golfing, and biking.
Accommodations
Your surf adventure starts when you
arrive at The Place, one of the most
stylish hotels in the area. After an
incredible surf session, you can enjoy a
swim in our large refreshing pool, sip a
drink in the tropical bar, chill-out in the
outdoor lounge, or simply siesta in a
hammock.
Our location, only a few-minute walk
from the village, allows you the opportunity to explore both daytime and
nighttime activities and is within walking to the
beach.
Surf Instruction
Our daily surf lessons are approximately two hours in time and include all the equipment you'll need. For beginners, we will teach you proper surfing etiquette, water safety, wave riding skills, and paddling techniques. For the more advanced surfers, our instructors will fine-tune your skills, work with you to extend your ability, and be your guide to the different surf spots in the area. Depending on the swell conditions and your level of experience, our expert instructors will work with you to decide which break best fits your ability. Our surf instructors are Pura Vida certified instructors. Each instructor is trained on our PVA methodology on how to make beginners "surfers" and to achieve the more advanced surfer's goals.
We have taught a wide range of surfers; ones who have never surfed before to surfers who have surfed almost everyday for 15 years. Our instructors are familiar with all the breaks in the area. They are certified in CPR and Life Saving. For bios on our surf instructors visit our website at www.PuraVidaAdventures.com and go to the "About Us" section.
