Believe Surf Camp And Yoga Centre

The beaches of Santa Teresa are one of the most beautiful in Costa Rica and they are the perfect starting point for the surf lessons. Gentle foams will let you have the first sensation of this wonderful sport. Our challenge is to develop your skills so that you can gain independence and confidence in the water. We will focus on your balance on the board and make sure that you have all the necessary safety tips to get into the water: handling the board, managing wipeouts, etc. Our policy is to have no more than three surfers per instructor, this is important to make sure that you are properly observed and receive a personalized feedback in the water. THE AIM OF THE SURF CAMP IS TO DEVELOP YOUR SKILLS Intermediate surfers will be introduced in the art of catching waves and developing “the surfer instinct”. First of all, your surf instructor will look for the best surfboard size according to your level (you will usually be using a smaller board than beginners). We will focus on your paddle technique, on how to observe the sea and read the upcoming sets so that you are in the best spot, and on developing a fast and proper pop up. Furthermore, the instructor will be coaching you on how to turn to one side or another according to the wave, and evaluating your position on the board, your style and your balance…so you’d better get ready!

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Believe. It is our lemma, our motto. What drove us here. Believe in the innate potential we have when we are connected with ourselves and nature. It is more than a beach holiday or a trip across great landscapes. Let yourself go along the whole journey: Surfing, enjoying the fantastic beaches of Santa Teresa and the wonderful nature around, while nurturing our body and mind consciousness, through yoga and healthy food habits. A brief experience may leave a significant trace in our life. And, without noticing, the smallest detail changes our mind. This is the cornerstone of our project; what we seek for, every day. Santa Teresa is an ideal destination for those who are looking to connect deeply with nature and themselves. Whether you are looking for great surfing, get deeper into yoga, a romantic beach vacation, a family friendly destination or you enjoy traveling safely on your own, this is definitely the destination for you. It is located in the Nicoya Peninsula – on the west coast of Costa Rica – very close to Malpaís and some hours south from Nosara and the busy Tamarindo. Founded by local communities only some decades ago, and slowly grown into Surf and Yoga community, Santa Teresa hosts a unique mix of Ticos (Costa Rican people) and immigrants from all around the world who have turned this place into a very special spot on Earth.
