THE SURFBOARD IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

At Surf Synergy, we believe in life without limitations. We take every part of your vacation above and beyond just surfing. Each stay is a transformative, holistic experience that gets you up on the board, feeling your best, looking your best, and riding the waves at your best.

Everything we do is elevated from our stylish resort to our bespoke coaching and our delectable meals infused by an inspired program for healthy living.

We call our approach “Above the Surf.”

Live adventurously. Live your unique, best life.

We believe in embracing an adventurous life and surfing. Why? We believe both build confidence while soothing the soul.

By reconnecting with nature, you reconnect with yourself and are better able to live your unique, best life.

The skills you learn here are not just part of making you a better surfer – they are life-changing whether you are with your family, on your own, or traveling with like-minded individuals.

THE PERFECT SURF VACATION SPOT

Costa Rica is home to some of the most idealistic surf spots in the world. Nosara, Tamarindo, Playa Guiones, Guanacaste, Santa Teresa, Dominical, and Jacó, where we’ve chosen to call home base. Jacó offers a surf trip with something for everyone. Ideal beach breaks and conditions allow beginners to develop their surfing skills while more experienced surfers can hone their stance, speed, and techniques on more advanced surf breaks.

ABOUT US

Life’s too short to waste a wave.

We’re passionate about the surfing life and about what surfing can do for the soul. We have created an experience and sense of community that draws you back, year after year, to build on your memories of surfing, comradery, community, and plain old having fun!

Everyone can surf.

We are here to prove that everyone can surf and, through the experience, have fun and possibly have a life-changing epiphany doing it. In our experience, the board is the start to an elevated you!—so whoever you are, we’re here to prove that you can surf and so much more.

A community for life

We have created a community of our own here in paradise. But we understand we have to be a member in good standing of the wider community we’re a part of. It means being good humans – to each other and our guests, the place we are in the world, and our planet.

TESTIMONIALS

Life Changing Experience!

“I had the most amazing lesson with Marcel, learning to Paddleboard. What an incredible experience! I am a complete newbie, but he was patient, kind, and gave excellent instructions. It truly was a life-changing event. Thank you so much, Marcel and Surf Synergy.”

Christine N.

A+

“This place was perfect for my purposes as an intermediate surfer - they had just the right board for me, sent me to some great beaches for my level, and when i returned to the camp, I was treated with *excellent* meals. Everybody was also super-friendly, and my room was bright, airy and clean. A+”

Alex C.

Most authentic Costa Rican experience

“This is my 6th time visiting Costa Rica, and hands down the absolute best! The daily itinerary fills your day with amazing different activities. Everything from surf lessons, yoga, ice baths, and breathwork classes to happy hour, sunsets, and beach walks, there is never a dull day. Secondly, after trying many restaurants, SS’s private kitchen serves the best food in Jaco, hands down.”

Blake B.

This is 60!

“I signed up for what I thought was a week of wellness in beautiful Costa Rica. I was welcomed by the Surf Synergy family even before I boarded the plane. From the moment I stepped off the plane in San Jose, I was cared for, looked after, challenged, well-fed, and completely at peace.”
