Manuel Surf School

General Info

We are the Manuel Antonio/Quepos surf specialists. Whether you are coming to Costa Rica or are already here, you can’t miss some of the best waves in Central America.

Need a board? No problem! We have top of the line equipment ready to be used by you.

Don’t know how to surf? We’ll teach you! Whether you are seven years old or seventy-seven, beginner or experienced, travelling alone or in a group, MASS is the school for you. Due to almost three decades of experience in the waves around Quepos and Manuel Antonio, the MASS instructors know the very best surfing spots and, of course, when and where to catch the best waves.

We also have extensive knowledge regarding the tides and therefore know when and where to take our students depending on their level of experience in order to have fun but more importantly to be safe. At Manuel Antonio Surf School we only use specially designed surf boards. We have long boards made out of a special lightweight material just perfect for beginners as well as fiberglass. If you are more experienced we can also provide you with shorter, more traditional boards for riding the waves in style. We provide our students with everything they need: leashes, wax, and rashguards specially made for surfing.

All of our instructors speak English and are the first instructors certified by ISA (International Surfing Association) in Costa Rica as well as highly trained in water safety and First Aid.
