A private shuttle will be scheduled from Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in Alajuela, San José, on Saturday, January 16 (or February 13) at 6:00 PM, the day of arrival.
Due to potential traffic delays, if you plan to arrive a day earlier, we recommend booking a hotel near the airport to ensure you’re present for the shuttle pickup the following day.

Please schedule your return flight for Friday, January 29 (or February 26), after 6:00 PM.
Keep in mind that due to time zone differences, you may arrive back in your home country one day later.
If you need any help to plan your private itinerary please contact Margherita: girlonthewave@gmail.com
Car service included
Our surf hostel is located right next to the beach, but in Costa Rica, having a car is essential if you want to explore beyond the coastline. From everyday yoga practise in spectacular jungle shala, Nayuaca waterfalls to tandem skydiving, , whale watching in Uvita Park and snorkeling at Caño Island - there’s so much to experience both along the coast and in the hills.
That’s why we’ve included a van as part of the package. This 12-passenger vehicle will give you the flexibility to join all the extra activities you’ve been dreaming of during your Costa Rica adventure with no extra costs.
Beginners / Intermediates Groups
We will divide participants into two separate groups - Beginners and Intermediates - based on your current surfing skills. Each group will surf at different spots, selected daily according to the surf conditions.
Beginner waves are found in more sheltered areas. These are smaller, cleaner, and offer gentle, easy-going rides—perfect for practicing your first steps and staying within your comfort zone.
Intermediate waves are clean and long, but faster, steeper, and more challenging—ideal for pushing your skills and progressing to the next level.
This is an intensive surf course designed to help you grow. Get ready for focused training, commitment, and fun in the water! Plus, you’re free to surf outside of lesson times, thanks to 24-hour board rental included in your package
VIDEO ANALYSIS
Surf video analysis involves recording a surfing session and reviewing selected clips to understand technique and decision-making. Rather than simply watching the best waves of the day, the goal is to examine the movements that influence your performance.
A coach may pause a clip at the moment you begin paddling, compare your body position before and after standing up, or show how your approach to the wave affected the ride. The purpose is not to criticize every movement. It is to identify a small number of practical adjustments that you can focus on during your next session. For many surfers, seeing an action on video makes a verbal explanation easier to understand. Instead of hearing "keep your weight centered," you can observe exactly where your weight shifted and how it affected your balance.
The Girl on the Wave surfing program is built around video analysis. We believe that recording your surf sessions offers a unique opportunity to clearly see and understand the key areas you need to work on—such as proper stance, movement, and technique.
Once a mistake is seen, it can’t be unseen. This kind of observation helps your brain process information more efficiently and sends clearer signals to your body. Many participants say that watching themselves surf—and seeing their mistakes caught in action—is crucial and truly game-changing for their progress.
Our video analysis sessions accelerate the learning process and strongly boost confidence in the water.
Yoga
A special yoga practice with a dedicated yoga master adds depth to the Girl on the Wave surfing experience. Yoga not only builds strength and flexibility, but also improves balance and relaxes the muscles—helping your body recover and prepare for the next surf session.
At our Costa Rica surf camps, we work with an exceptional yoga teacher who brings a rich daily practice that combines deep stretching, relaxation techniques, meditation, and sound therapy using bowls and gongs. This holistic approach enhances both your physical performance and mental focus in the water.

Into the wild
Get ready to be surrounded by wildlife and tropical sounds—parrots, toucans, and other exotic birds chirping all around. Our surf hostel is tucked deep in the jungle, just off the main Pacific coastal road, offering a true nature-immersed experience.
You’ll often surf alongside pelicans, dolphins, sea turtles, swordfish, and manta rays. Spotting sloths high in the trees or iguanas lounging just outside your door is part of the daily routine.
The good news? Costa Rica is shark-free, and though jellyfish occasionally appear, they’re not a major concern. Spiders and snakes are far from our surf camp area, but mosquitoes are part of the jungle life—so don’t forget a strong repellent. Special boat excursions watching whales are also possible !
Evenings often end with bonfires on the beach, under the stars, making it all more than worth it.
Surf Hostel
Just 50 meters from the beach, our surf hostel features a spacious, open Central American courtyard that naturally brings surfers together from all over the world.
The layout includes balconies perfect for drying your bikinis, boardshorts, and towels, with corridors leading to a variety of room types spread across two floors.
You’ll have access to a 24-hour shared kitchen, a spacious open-air living room with reliable Wi-Fi, and all the essentials for surf life: a board rack, outdoor shower, and a small swimming pool for a post-session cool-down.
Our friendly and helpful reception team is available anytime, and the restaurant where we’ll enjoy all our breakfasts and dinners is located right next door to the hostel.
OCEAN
The ocean water is tropical and warm, consistently above 20°C (68°F), and during the dry season (December to May), you’ll enjoy barely any wind—ideal conditions for surfing. January and February mark the peak of the high season, but don’t worry about crowds. The 4 km-long bay is spacious, filled with multiple breaks, and framed by breathtaking jungle views.
Just be prepared for the sun: a hat and a lycra rash guard are essential during midday sessions. For a cooler, more magical experience, hit the waves at sunrise (5:30 AM) or sunset (7:30 PM)—those moments are absolutely unforgettable.
With a variety of breaks suited to different skill levels, Playa Dominical is like a natural gym—perfect for surfing all day, every day.
Is it a natural wave pool? Absolutely.
Love point breaks? You’ll find several hidden gems just a few kilometers away, waiting to be explored.
