Guiones Nosara Surf & Yoga

We have been working to bring the Guiones Nosara Surf & Yoga Camp to you for years!  An epic ALL-LEVELS CAMP - allowing surfers of all levels to share yoga, meals, and experiences outside of the water, while getting the waves that are appropriate for your own surf level with either instruction or coaching and smaller groups for focused training sessions to help you advance quickly with the consistent waves of Playa Guiones, in Nosara, Costa Rica!

Pack your bags & book your flight to Costa Rica!  We suggest flying to Liberia / Guanacaste Airport (LIR) OR flying into San Jose Airport (SJO) and taking a domestic flight from there to Nosara Airport (NOB)!  This trip includes private transport to/from Nosara Airport (30 min ride) OR shared shuttle to/from LIR Airport (2.5 hour ride) - please be aware the shared shuttle may not be convenient for your flight arrival/departure - we have an optional upgrade for private transportation in case this helps with your flight plans.  You may, alternatively, choose to add transportation to/from SJO Airport (5.5 hour ride) for your convenience.

Once it's time for your transport, you'll get ground transfer to your hotel room with en suite bathroom and a personal outdoor patio or balcony.  You can take a dip in the saltwater pool, or hang in loungers after a long day, but we know many of you won't be able to wait to walk the private path through the mangroves to some of the most consistent waves in Costa Rica where we'll spend the rest of the week!  The tropical heat and warm breeze you've been dreaming of are just the start: leave that wetsuit at home because the water's as heavenly as the waves that will be pumping all day long! 

Settle in to your room, then meet up with the whole gang at our first night welcome meeting in the poolside on-site restaurant!  Our surf director Jairo Zuniga and the local team can't wait to meet you, give you a rundown of the plan for the week, and hang out!  He is a native Costa Rican, and one of less than 30 ISA certified instructors in Costa Rica.  Surfing since age 6 and teaching nearly 20 years, you are in the hands of our world class surf director!  We hope you're ready to soak up the knowledge and experience he and the team have to share with you both on the beach and in the waves.  You will be amazed at the progress you'll make after just a few short days with us!

Sweet dreams in AC, we'll see you for your first day of surf and yoga after you get some sleep in your tropical garden-side room!  Get excited for what's to come!

The next 4 days are going to be EPIC!  We designed this trip to be able to host beginner and intermediate surfers (who will be taking lessons with in-water instructors to perfect the basics, mechanics, and practice reading, catching, and riding waves) AND intermediate/advanced surfers (who will be taken to the more challenging peaks to solidify the techniques you are working on, and follow up with video coaching that we know you're frothing for)! 

Instruction Package Types

Surf Instruction Level 1 Package (Never surfed before or tried, but was unsuccessful)

This is the perfect package to learn all of the basics that will help you feel safe and comfortable in the water with your board and begin a lifelong love for riding waves!  You'll get to know a lot of the important surf terms, and choose the best technique for you to get to your feet, you'll practice your position on the board, and start to learn how to catch your own waves!

Surf Instruction Level 2 Package (I've surfed before and/or I surf but cannot do maneuvers yet)

This is for our surfers who have some experience but don't yet consistently catch waves on without assistance, need help reading the green waves, want to learn to go down the line and/or start trying maneuvers, or simply for surfers who feel more comfortable with an in-water instructor present.

You will practice your independence in the lineup, learn to read and catch green waves and go down the line, while also learning and practicing surf etiquette!  We will provide techniques and practice duck diving and begin to work on maneuvers such as top and bottom turns for those who are pushing toward further advancement.

Surf Coaching Package (I'm an independent surfer & want to improve / learn skills, maneuvers, airs, etc)

Our advanced surfers - you've been ASKING for this trip - and here it is!  A surf trip with waves to surf all day, more challenging peaks, advanced coaching AND video analysis?!  If you're already in heaven just thinking about it - wait until you get here and experience it for yourself!

How the packages overlap

Each day, the beginner, intermediate and advanced groups will come together for yoga at the deck (all levels of yoga are taught together so don't worry if you're advanced and want a challenge, nor if you're a beginner and are nervous to try it for the first time)!  Yoga is about deep breathing, stretching, power, flow, connecting with and listening to your body, and calming the mind - we promise this will not only improve your surfing but also your LIFE!

Warmups & stretching may be done together on the beach, before groups split up to go out into the water or review the details of the skills you're working on, OR groups may be scheduled at different times - this will be determined by the Director so that you get the most appropriate waves for your needs and down time to relax or get out and practice what you've learned on your own!

Between waves (that you won't be able to stop smiling about), you'll also have relaxation time!  Chill by the saltwater pool, have some drinks at the all-day bar on site, walk the beach, bike around town with the complimentary cruisers, take in epic sunsets, and experience the fusion of cuisines from around the world!  This is the life!

If that's really not enough, we can help you squeeze in a relaxing massage or an adventure - let us know what's on your mind!

Our experienced international coach and director of surf, Jairo Zuniga, created this Guiones Nosara Surf & Yoga trip JUST FOR YOU!
