With every lesson, both in water and theory, you’ll learn a targeted skill. More importantly you’ll understand why you are learning it and how to utilize it to improve. Each lesson will be broken down into specific skill sets and body movements that can be built upon each other like building blocks, accelerating your personal progress and confidence. This means that a clear step by step progression of drills and skills will unfold in front of you systematically to your level, allowing you to continue progressing with your surfing during your stay with us.
So whether you’re standing up for the first time or looking to perfect your manoeuvres. Our coaches will work closely with you in and out of the water, systematically developing your skills. This means that, by the end of the week surf camp with us, you will be clearly able to continue progressing with your surfing abilities and take them to the next level!….. You’re joining no ordinary surf camp…..Join us and Experience Extraordinary.
But your experience doesn’t stop there.
Your coaching with us also includes:
Dry land technique lessons on popping up, turning, board positioning and setting up for angled takeoffs.
Pool sessions on paddling, duck diving and turtle rolling.
Video & Aerial Photography analysis to break down form and timing. Video coaching enables us to show you exactly what you look like and what you need to do to. It brings in line what you think you are doing, with what you are actually doing. Allowing you and your coach to review your body movements and positioning.
Theory class to help you understand how to choose the right waves, swell forecasting, board design and surf etiquette. Theory classes will also cover the skill sets that you will be working on with your instructor on the next planned surf session.
Our Famous Surf Break
Playa Grande
(Beginner to Advanced Beach Breaks)
Located just across the estuary to the north of Tamarindo is the remote beach of Playa Grande. Playa Grande is part of the Las Baulas National Park and is a famous nesting ground for Leatherback Turtles. Due to its unique southerly orientation, Playa Grande magnifies all south swells while also picking up those from the northwest. This feature makes Playa Grande one of the most consistent spots in Costa Rica and caters to all ability levels.
What Is Your Surfing Level?
Before arriving at Point Break Surf Camp and beginning your surf experience, communicating with us your current skills and experience allows your coach to plan your week to maximize your progress. Using our level system will allow us plan your learning along side one or two other surfers who are at the same level as you. We never mix ability levels within groups. Here is a summary of which skills are specific to each level and the goal of each.
Boardrider
Beginners and also surfers who need to learn carving, accelerating and the functional stance in the white water.
Goal: This is the first step on your journey. If you want to build a solid foundation of skills to get up and riding or maybe you have had a lesson before but need a refresher – you will start the week as a Boardrider. We will help you safely build confidence catching and riding unbroken waves, allowing your comfort zone to increase gradually to the ocean environment.
Cruiser
Starting to catch unbroken waves with the help of an in-water coach and attempting to surf across the face.
Goal: Are you ready to shift your surfing up a gear? If you have mastered standing in the whitewater, been catching green waves now and then & now want to catch consistently clean waves, feel the rush of sliding down the line (knowing to go right or left) and sit “out the back” – Cruisers suits you. Our coaches will get you into the line up and taking off on some clean, green waves with proper angled take offs, trimming and body position to set you up for the next level
Carver
Consistently catching and trimming down the line in unbroken waves up to head high, without an in-water coach.
Goal: Want to stake your claim at the local spot? Carvers is for surfers riding unbroken waves front & backside and are comfortable sitting in the line up. Harness the speed of the ocean and unlock the turns you have been dreaming of. You’ll be trimming down the line & carving clean arcs before the week is out.
