Built by Surfers,
For Surfers.
Surf Celeste was founded at the beginning of 2025, born from a genuine passion for surfing and a desire to offer meaningful, skill-boosting lessons. Our founders, one a lifelong Nosara local with years of surfing and coaching experience, and the other a passionate female surfer dedicated to sharing the thrill of the waves, came together to create more than just surf lessons. We believe surfing is about growth, connection, and creating wholesome experiences to cherish. At Surf Celeste, we’re committed to helping you improve your skills while enjoying the beauty and spirit of Nosara in a supportive, focused, and fun environment.
