Why surf with us?
Choosing Surf Celeste means working with a legally established company registered in Costa Rica that prioritizes professional accountability and ethical operations, from maintaining all permits to operate, to hiring staff legal to work in the country, and contributing directly to our local economy. As a boutique, independent project rather than a corporate subsidiary or a hotel spin-off, our entire focus is dedicated purely to surfing and the success of our students. We specialize in genuine learning and technical progression, moving far beyond simply "pushing" you into waves; instead, we provide a plan and the foundational skills required for you to understand the ocean and surf with complete independence. When you join us, you are investing in a purpose-driven experience where our passion for the sport translates into a personalized, high-quality coaching.
