Location

The girls camp is based on the Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica, in Playa Hermosa, Jaco, just 2 hours away from San Jose international airport. This area is an ideal surfing spot for all levels.

Playa Hermosa and Jaco are known for its excellent waves. Jaco is where the beginners learn to surf in gentle waves and Playa Hermosa is ideal for intermediate and advanced surfers.

In Jaco you will find banks, souvenirs shops, good restaurants, medical services and popular night life.

The Surf

One of the most wonderful things about Costa Rica is the surfing. There are hundreds of fantastic, reliable and consistent spots for surfers of every level and the water is so warm you don't need to wear a wetsuit.

Some of the local spots...

Escondida: perfect, tubing reef break with powerful lefts and rights.

Jaco: is a small beach-break with fun left and right peaks, you can surf almost the entire beach. Great beginner wave, or for a warm-up surf before tackling nearby Hermosa or Escondida.

Roca Loca: or "Crazy Rock", a powerfull, rocky right hand reef break off a large exposed rock. Lots of water moving around. You have to descend a steep cliff then paddle out in a small channel. It's best surfing this break with someone who has surfed there before, so they can show you the safe way to paddle in and out. Experienced surfers only!

Hermosa: powerfull and consistent beachbreak that sticks out into the Pacific, assuring constant swell. You will rarely be surfing under head high here. It can be perfect sometimes, delivering a nice barrel, but at other times you might see the barreling waves all over the place, but have trouble finding that perfect wave for yourself !

Esterillos: You can either surf Estrellos Este (east), or Estrellos Oeste (west) or Centro (Center) a beachbreak with peaks, usually with good shape. Both lefts and rights. Really fun for all types of levels.
