A. Once you book your airline to one of the major airports (San Jose or Liberia) we will handle the rest. We also offer a package which includes airfare.

Q. Why choose your school over other schools?
A. Good question! One reason we built our facility for our all inclusive trip we are not open to the public just our guests. Another reason we teach you how to surf using basic fundamentals. We use REAL SURFBOARDS not foam or soft boards. I have never seen anyone in the water surfing on a soft or foam board so why start on one.
