Costa Rica Surf Camps
It seems like surf camps are everywhere today. As the sport grows in popularity so do the surf camps and surf schools around the world offering up lessons and accommodations for those who want to learn to ride the waves improve their skills.
Choosing the right surf camps takes some time and consideration since each wave is different and each break offers up the chance to improve certain skills. Before choosing a surf camp, consider the location. Not everyone has the funds to fly half way around the world to their dream surf camp. If you can go anywhere you want, that’s awesome, otherwise you may have to choose a camp that’s a bit closer to home. Next, look at the type of wave. If you’re just starting out, you’ll want a friendlier, easier wave. If you’re looking to improve your skills you may want something more challenging.
Once you’ve figured out what country you can go to and what kind of wave you’re looking for, you can start to figure out the right camp for you. Each camp is different and the amenities can vary from camp to camp. Not all surf camps include lessons. Some are just places to stay, close to a great surf spot, and run with surfers in mind. Some camps are geared towards lessons and teaching beginners how to stand up. Accommodations range from basic to luxurious throughout the world and some countries, like Portugal, with the high number of surf camps per capita, have all types of surf camps for all budgets.
