Surfing

The reef-break in front of the garden is a fun wave, and a short walk along the beach, there are more waves to find.

When the swell gets to a good size the world-famous Pavones starts to liven up. Pavones (one of the longest lefts in the world) is only 20 minutes by car or 35 minutes by bicycle. If it’s on at Pavones we could arrange a taxi, or you can take the early morning bus (5:30). For surfers who like to go right as well or just want to surf even more waves we can organize boat trips to Matapalo and Punta Burica, or are you looking for some tips and tricks? It’s possible to get surf lessons or coaching as well.

For those who would like to learn the basics of surfing we provide ‘beginner lessons’ at the wave right in front of our garden. In case the waves are too big we can arrange a lesson more into the bay (Pavones). All the lessons are given on ‘softboards’ and by experienced surf instructor.


Price:

$ 60/person for a 2.5 hour lesson at the Rancho’s ‘garden’ wave
$ 75/person for a 2.5 hour lesson around Pavones (including transport)



RENT OR BUY A BOARD

We do have some boards for rent. Softboards for beginners and some different used boards that work fine for intermediate surfers. If you want something that suits your level perfectly we can give advise and help you to order a board at the local shaper here in Pavones.

Custom made board starts at $ 650

Board rental at the Rancho is $ 15 per day.

The wave at Punta Burica is a long left and Matapalo (the Northwest spot) are 4 right handers in a row. A boat trip for a day costa rica fishing or surfing (or a combination of both).
