Surf and Spanish in Jacó Beach, Costa Rica

This program features 20 group Spanish lessons and 3 surf lessons per week. Surfing lessons are around 2 hours of duration and include all the necessary equipment. The lessons are taught by top-notch surf teachers from an experienced partner school in Jacó Beach.

Remember that surfing is a demanding sport, so courses are designed to give you enough time and energy to go to class, surf and study!

But for all who really want to get into surfing, we have an “Intensive Surf & Spanish” option. This is 5 surf lessons (so one per day) and 10 private Spanish lessons. This option is great if you really want to spend most of your time in the water but still make progress with your Spanish.

World renowed surfing

The Central Pacific of Costa Rica continues on the headlines with famous surfers from Costa Rica like Carlos and Beto Muñoz, Emily Gussoni and many others competing internationally. 2016 also marks the first time a World Surfing League Qualifying Series event will be hosted in Costa Rica, this time in nearby Esterillos.
