Kids Surf Lessons in Jaco

Surfing can be a highlight of a family trip to Costa Rica. Here's how to plan it for your children.

Tell Us About Your Kids When You Book

Every child is different in age, swimming ability and confidence. When you send a booking request or message us on WhatsApp at 1-305-719-5707, include each child's age and how comfortable they are in the ocean. We'll talk it through with you and plan the lesson accordingly.

Private or Group for Children?

• Private lessons ($140 per person) give a child one-on-one attention — often the best choice for younger or more nervous kids.
• Group lessons ($75 per person) let siblings and parents learn together.

How We Keep It Suitable

• The location is chosen according to the day's conditions and the group.
• Lessons start with a beach safety briefing and practice on the sand.
• Instructors stay with surfers in the water.
• All lessons are taught by female surf instructors, which many families find reassuring.

Tips for Parents

• Apply sunscreen before arriving and bring a hat for after.
• A swimsuit or rash guard that stays put helps kids focus.
• Keep expectations fun: catching white water is a big win.
• Surfing photos can be arranged so you can enjoy watching.

Snacks, water and soda are included. See also Family Surf Lessons in Jaco.
