Costa Rica Surf & Travel - The Booties On The Ground Source For Surfing In Costa Rica - Real Local Info For Surfers By Surfers

Surf Costa Rica’s Best Waves On Your Surf Trip!

Your Trip, Your Session, Your Stoke

We are here for YOU. It's YOUR trip, your session, your stoke. So we write what's real here. These are just our opinions, but they're based on real experiences and a life spent chasing the Pura Vida lifestyle. We don't pull any punches—there aren't many to pull because just about everywhere rocks here—but we have been scolded and even banned from offering some hotels in our vacation packages for keeping it 100% and prioritizing your authentic surf experience over their bottom line. We're not here to fill vacation rentals for international investors or jack up our beaches at the expense of local families. Yes, we’ve been scolded. But as we say around here, “When they get the paddle out, we just go paddle out!” It’s great to be a surfer! While we want you to visit and surf Costa Rica, real surfers tend to see through the fake crunchy groove of a $500/night resort that pays locals $4 an hour. We tend to be positive because we run on Pura Vida, but we want that Pura Vida to thrive, not get built on top of.

Get ready to dive into the ultimate surfing paradise where the water is warm, the vibes are high, and the waves are world-class. Our guides cover everything from the legendary barrels of Costa Rica surf spots like Pavones and Salsa Brava to the hidden gems of the Caribbean coast where rasta roots meet reef breaks. Whether you're a grom looking for your first wave or a seasoned pro hunting for heavy swell, we’re here to help you get it dialed in. We break down the best times to visit—whether you're chasing the power of the green season or the sunny perfection of high season—so you can fully immerse yourself in the Pura Vida lifestyle. Grab your board, check our local forecasts, and let’s get you into the water for the trip of a lifetime.
