This was my second experience with Del Mar Surf Camp (the first one was in Hermosa Beach) and they have yet to disappoint. I spent five days in Nosara and didn't have to worry about anything. Angie took care of every detail, Adriana was the perfect guide, and Jesse was the best surf instructor I've had! My surfing improved each... More

Fernando was our instructor and for first time surfers we had a blast! He was very instructive and encouraging. We really appreciated the way he wanted us to enjoy surfing as much as he did. More

Pack light. You'll only need a few quick trying clothing items. No long pants. Bring flip flops and a camera. Lots of sun screen. DelMar was welcoming, helpful and flexible. Surf lessons were matched to our skill level and just challenging enough. We felt safe. Very friendly staff all around. Highly recommend this camp! More

Del Mar made sure I had an outstanding Surf trip! Adrianna took good care of us. The surf instructors were great. Playa Guiones is a really fabulous place for a surf trip - particularly for beginner to intermediate surfers. The waves were big and consistent, but soft. The area is surprisingly family friendly. I'll definitely be back. More

We went to take first surfing classes with Del Mar Surf Camp and they treat us as family, very friendly and always taking care of my son. We had our first surfing rides at Pelada Beach and if I were younger I would be a surfer :) More

I had so much fun learning to surf with Del Mar in Nosara! I was a little worried, not really knowing what I was doing and not having spent that much time in the water since childhood really! But my surf instructor put all my worries at ease and I'm happy to say I stood on the board on the... More
