Surf Diva Surf School is known worldwide for its excellent surf instruction and coaching. First established in La Jolla in 1996, Surf Diva is the original surf school for women. For more than 10 years, Surf Diva has been teaching thousands of women, men and kids to surf from all over the world.

Surf Diva surf instructors are all CPR and First Aid certified and go through an intensive selection and training process before they graduate to the Surf Diva Instructor Team. Our instructors at the Surf Diva Costa Rica Adventure understand local surf conditions and have an extensive knowledge of the area and all it has to offer. Surf Diva stands firm by a ratio of one instructor to every five surfers. By keeping our groups small, we ensure that you will get a lot of individual attention to best improve your surfing.
Our goal is to provide you with such a memorable and fun vacation/adventure that you won't want to leave!

The surf beaches on the peninsula are breathtaking. The secret surf spot, where the Surf Diva Surf Adventure is located, is a 6km expanse of white sand just walking distance from the accommodations. The surf is perfect for surfers of all levels, from beginners to more advanced wave riders with consistent waves and both left and right-hand breaks. We have both softboards and boards made out of epoxy by Surftech. The water averages 70-80 degrees. On the Costa Rica Surf Adventure we surf twice daily with time in-between to take part in one of our yoga sessions, have a massage, eat some of the wonderfully prepared local produce or simply kick back and read a book by the pool!

Surf Diva Surf School has been featured in many TV shows and on numerous local and national news stations. These include CNN, The Today Show, MTV, ESPN, MSNBC, KUSI and The Travel Channel, to name but a few. Surf Diva has also been featured in many magazines and newspapers including The New York Times, Vogue, Glamour, Cosmo, GQ, Newsweek, Oprah Magazine, and Conde Nast Travel Magazine. In 2006, Surf Diva was recognized by the California State Assembly and awarded "Small Business of the Year" for its district.
