Surf and Spanish in Costa Rica

Spanish and Surf Course

This 2-week program offers 20 group Spanish lessons and 3 surf lessons per week. Surfing lessons are around 3 hours of duration and include equipment loan and are taught by a top-notch surf teacher from an experienced partner school in Jacó Beach.


The private Spanish lessons do not have a fixed schedule, they depend on the time of the high tides during which the surf lessons will take place. Academia Tica will adapt the timetable for the Spanish lessons.


How’s surfing in Jacó?

Jacó Beach is called “City of Surf” in Costa Rica. It offers some of the best surfing in the country and it’s just minutes away to other world class surfing beaches with lots of spots like Playa Hermosa (5 minute drive from Jacó downtown), Playa Esterillos, Playa Blanca and Playa Escondida. Also, Playa Hermosa and Jacó are solid surf spots year-round on the Pacific Coast. Therefore, it is one of the best places to learn how to surf, or if you already do, you’ll have no trouble finding a good ride, being experienced or amateur.
