Stand Up Paddle is what we do!
We are passionate about SUP surfing!
We love to teach it, coach and share our awesome surf and paddle spots with You. By boat or by land we will take you there. We know the waves, the reefs, the channels, the tides, the perfect point breaks and beach breaks. We also know the protected bays and their beaches, the islands, and the estuaries. We grew up surfing Costa Rica and chose Tamarindo and it's surrounding beaches, because they are fantastic.
Tamarindo has some ideal "Learn to Paddle Surf" waves and has great "Flatwater Learn to Paddle" areas, it is also very close to naturally protected bays, beaches and islands. There are at least 8 wave spots and a couple of wicked outer reefs within Tamarindo Beach itself. And it doesn't mean you will be SUP surfing here only, we are about 25 minutes away from Avellanas or Playa Grande and 10 minutes from Langosta.
Playa Negra, Junquillal, Marbella, Brasilito, Conchal, Danta and Potrero are some other beaches we go have fun at, plus many other spots we prefer not to mention, and breaks that don't even have a name yet. We will also paddle board to beautiful, unspoiled Islands where you can enjoy the pristine marine environment that surrounds them.

Let's have some mind blowing Costa Rica Stand Up Paddle Adventures!
Most of us here started as surfers, and good surfers we still are, but we have been stung by the SUP bug and definitely caught the fever. Stand Up Paddling is now our preference and our passion, whether we do Flatwater or SUP surf. We live to explore and paddle surf all of this awesome new territory that has opened up to us by SUPing, we now paddle-surf points we never surfed before.
So if you are a paddle boarder or wish to learn, and your friends are surfers and want to join us, we welcome them in our adventures; we are every bit as knowledgeable about surfing. I have surfed for 35 years, won Costa Rican surfing championships in '82 and '83, enjoyed surfing Hawaii, California, Florida, Peru, Chile, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Panama.
In Costa Rica it is summer all year round! We enjoy tropical weather and 80 degree water most days, no wet suits needed. Sunblock and hats are what you will need and we will supply short or long sleeved rash guards to protect you from the sun. We have Dry Summer from Dec.. through mid-May) and wet, or as we prefer to call it, Green Summer, from mid-May through Dec..
We get waves pretty much all year round with very few flat spells. Some flat spells do happen though, it's the Ocean, it can get moody but the norm is about 25 days of waves a month, ranging from 4 to 10 feet (Costa Rican feet, bigger than Floridian, smaller than Hawaiian, very close to Californian; you figure it out!). Even what we call flat spells are around 3 feet at most breaks, and 3 to 5 feet at stand-out breaks.
I really believe that when it comes to SUP adventures, lessons, coaching and guiding in Costa Rica, we are the best and the most knowledgeable.
