Rick, the owner, and his son Collin ensure that your experience surfing and your stay in Nosara will be positive and rewarding. We met people from Europe, Canada and USA, ranging in age from mid teens to early 60's and all except my wife and I and one other person had been there at least 3 times before. The other... More

If you are looking for a hotel experience this isn't it. This is like visiting family in Costa Rica. They look after you. Feed you. Do your laundry. Leave you alone when you want privacy. Hang out with you when you want company. The surfing is incredible. The instructors make sure you get the most out of your trip. They... More

But honestly, you should. I have just got back from a week away in Costa Rica with Corky Carrolls Surf... More

I just returned from my trip to Corky Carroll's Surf School, but I already want to make plans to go back. We (two young females on our first trip to Costa Rica) were a little nervous about things at first, but staff at this school make it all so easy.

The rooms are very comfortable, the food is great and plentiful, and it's just the most chilled out, down to earth place you could ever want to go. Rick, Collin and the... More

Don't expect luxury. Expect very comfortable... More

Huge variety of surf equipment... More
