Question 1

Can I join a retreat/camp If I have never surfed before?

Accepted Answer

You are welcome to join our surf retreats even if you do not have any previous experience. We will teach you all the basics and safety starting from zero.

What we do recommend is that you have a decent physical condition before your surf trip. Surfing is a sport that requires some physical strength, flexibility and balance. We recommend that you start training at least 2-3 weeks before your trip.  Here’s a video that we created to practice surfing workouts at home:

Is Dominical Beach suitable for beginner surfers?

Accepted Answer

Is Dominical Beach a good spot for beginner surfers?

Dominical beach is well known internationally as a great surf spot for all levels.
As any other surfing location, it can be a perfect surf spot for beginner surfers as it can be a dangerous one, let us explain why.

Dominical is a great spot to learn to surf if you have the right set up. Tides play a huge role on the timing to surf and it's vital that you go surfing at the right times.

In the Pacific of Costa Rica we have drastic tide changes every 6 hours. Whether you are surfing Dominical or any other location having a basic understanding of the tides will make the difference between good surf and bad surf conditions.

When you decide to take surf lessons with us in Dominical there is nothing to worry about. We know the surf spots to perfection and we can assure you that your safety is our main concern, we would not take any lessons out if the conditions are dangerous.
We will always choose the right tides, the right equipment and personalized attention so that you can learn as much as possible, become independent and feel safe with just a few classes.
