When we aren't giving amazing lessons, excellent coaching, or taking epic trips with clients in Costa Rica, our Owners and staff travel around the world participating in international competitions, attending and hosting marketing events, visiting friends and family and, of course, surfing!  If you see us out and about, be sure to say hello, and check in at the bottom of our photo gallery page for your date/location to see if we scored some pictures of you and your friends!

We love sharing photos with you, and we remember what life was like when we caught the best.waves.ever. and didn't have any proof.  We don't want you to have to live through that, so we share our photos for free when we're out in the waves.  The only thing we ask in return is that you give us credit for the pictures if or when you repost and that you keep us in mind when you're ready for your next trip to or around Costa Rica!  Pura Vida!

Check out the newly uploaded surf pictures from a day at Skudin Surf (August 2019) in Long Beach, NY now!  More photos coming soon!  Keep an eye out!

We’re a Top Responsible Costa Rica Eco Tour 2019!

We’re more than just a tour & vacation company; We care about the wildlife and habitats we showcase, the local communities we visit, and the opportunities for education through exploration. That’s why we’re excited to announce that we’ve made it onto the Top Responsible Costa Rica Eco Tours 2019 list!

Curated by Terra Incognita - a social enterprise seeking to promote the best examples of ethical ecotourism worldwide - we’re part of a group of nearly 40 incredible tours across Costa Rica working to conserve the environment, support the well-being of local people and educate visitors and hosts.

"Costa Rica is often the first place that comes to mind when we hear the word 'ecotourism', yet it can still be challenging for visitors to choose a responsible tour", said Kristi Foster of Terra Incognita.

The list includes a transparent explanation of how all tours contribute to conservation, local communities and education, and is open to reviews from guests who’ve participated in the tours.

Tour operators on the list are doing everything from cleaning up beaches and donating to
community projects, to offsetting their carbon emissions and encouraging their guests to do the same. Some are actively contributing to conservation research, while others are empowering local conservation ambassadors through environmental education and capacity building.

“With every new tour we discover, we’re amazed to see what operators are doing to have a positive impact on the planet through tourism,” said Dr Nick Askew of Terra Incognita. “Eventually we hope to showcase ethical tour experiences in every country worldwide.”

"Even though ecotourism is fairly well established in Costa Rica, there's still so much to discover”, said Kristi. “There are many small, local and family-run ecotourism companies offering once-in-a-lifetime experiences while supporting the country's natural and cultural heritage".
