Fun waves to be had on our 7-day Costa Rica retreat 🌊

12/10/2024

This season in the Mentawai Islands 🌴

11/25/2024

Want to escape the cold and surf-quality waves in a tropical climate 🏝️? Our UPCOMING destination, Nosara, Costa Rica 🇨🇷 , is our favourite place to coach surfing from January to March. Here are the top 3 reasons why:

#1 Wave Consistency
November to March is the “small wave” season on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Playa Guiones is a true “wave magnet,” meaning that surfers get at least waist-high waves even on the smallest of days. In more than a decade of operating on this coastline, we are yet to see a “flat” day! This season has very consistent and reliable quality surf for both beginners and intermediates, typically with quality waves from waist-to-shoulder high. Perfect for coaching & improving your skills.

#2 The Weather
Don’t like the cold or rain? Want to go somewhere that practically guarantees sunshine and hot weather? Costa Rica averages less than one rainy day per month during this time of year. Blue skies, sunshine, 30 degrees every day and tropical water. Leave your wetsuit at home!

#3 Reliable Conditions
Winds are great for surfing in the mornings, offering clean conditions for typically a 4-hour window, and it also often calms down in the evening for a magical sunset session! The sand banks at Guoines offer long, gently peeling waves, which are exactly what students need to improve skills such as catching green waves, angling, carving or cutbacks.

Why Nosara?
- Consistent, quality surf for beginners & intermediates
- Plenty of safe, sand bottom waves breaking over 7 km of majestic beach
- Gorgeous, private bungalows set in a tropical garden
- Fascinating jungle with sloths, monkeys, colourful birds & more
- Walk 6 minutes to waves, amazing restaurants & cafes

~ The Push Through ~

The “pushing through” technique, or “punching through”, is the optimal method to use to get passed small waves on a big surfboard. This technique uses the speed and flotation provided by a longboard in order to drive through the wave, instead of under it.

Take a look at the horizon. Start paddling when bigger sets of waves have passed & when the ocean looks calmer.

As you get closer to a whitewater wave, keep paddling hard straight towards it. More speed equals more control.

When you are about a surfboard’s distance from the whitewater, grab your rails & push up. There needs to be proper space between your body & the board for the whitewater to pass between you and your surfboard.

Lift one leg up in the air. This brings extra weight over your surfboard, preventing you from getting knocked back off on bigger waves.

When the white water hits you, your board should be facing straight towards the wave, totally perpendicular to it.

You can only do this on smaller waves. Don’t try to push through big whitewater waves, you will get pushed back. Instead, try the turtle roll.

The Frontside Turn

When going down the wave, always look where you want to go to.

As you reach the bottom of the wave, compress your knees and lower body down to add extra weight onto your back foot, especially over the toes.

As you are putting more weight on your back foot, you want to drop the leading shoulder and lean towards the wave. You can touch the water with your backhand for balance. This position puts extra weight over your back toes to really engage the fins and the back part of the right rail.

Now that the fins and rail are engaged, you want to lead the turn with your head and upper body.This twisting of the torso is what helps to pivot the longboard towards the shoulder. How much you rotate your shoulders and chest will affect how much you carve.

The Standard Pop-up

Step 1 - To verify if you’re able to do the Standard Pop-Up, lay on your belly on the floor, with your hands below your pectorals.

Step 2 - Push your upper body up. With only your hand and knees as point of contact with the floor.

Step 3 - As your thighs lift off from the floor, see if you can swing both knees up and forwards, without them dragging on the floor, and have your back foot land towards where your tail would be.

Make sure to swing your knees up and forward by using only your hands and knees as spots of contact with the floor or surfboard.

We often see surfers practicing this technique on land using their toes as points of contact on the ground, which is easier. If you are riding a shortboard or a fish, you need to avoid practicing this way. In the water, your feet will be hanging off the back of the surfboard, so you won’t be able to place your toes on the board to pop up.
