Surf Simply

Technical surf coaching

Unlike conventional surf schools, this isn’t about standing up. At Surf Simply we identify the many specific skills behind the sport and then break down the mechanisms, making surfing accessible to everyone. Our team of 9 ISA and ILSF qualified coaches are surf geeks who work with just 12 guests each week, replacing ambiguous surf lingo with clear, concise, systemized coaching. We don’t teach you how to surf. We teach you how to teach yourself how to surf, or surf better through a combination of video feedback, theory lessons, and in-water coaching.

"Truly amazing. The Surf Simply team is incredible. Nosara itself is great. But Surf Simply takes it to the next level. The surf coaching is fantastic. But they focus on and nail every detail including the food, drinks, lodging, the massages. All of which made for a truly memorable trip. Thank you! I'll be coming back."

"I had an incredible experience at Surf Simply. The staff, the coaching, the accommodations, and the food were all top notch! I've been surfing most of my life, and I found the coaching to be very helpful (Hat Tip to Jessie Carnes - my coach). It was a luxury learning experience, coupled with a tremendously hospitable staff. I would highly recommend it for any level surfer--from beginners through advanced!"

"This was our second visit to Surf Simply and once again it was exceptional. The team at SS manage to keep a level of excellence week in week out. From the moment you are met at the airport to the time you are returned to the airport for onward travel, everything is taken care of. We go for the surf coaching, but the accommodation, food, resort, massages, stretch classes are all wonderful."

"This is a real book and forget it experience. The attention to detail is second to none. The teaching/coaching is bar none and everything else accommodations, food, staff, amenities etc were top notch. A beginner to intermediate surfers paradise. Learned tons of practical tips to refine my skills as an intermediate surfer and my wife found it helpful as an early beginner. Would highly recommend this trip."
