Has it been your lifelong dream to learn to surf?
You're in the right place!
Our instructors use Jesse's unique step-by-step method to share their skills with beginning surfers -- as well as intermediate and advanced surfers who are looking to hone their abilities.
Depending on the surfer our first step-by-step lesson for beginners starts on the beach learning safety and standing positions on the board. Once the positions are mastered on the ground we move to the water where we teach positioning and balance on the board. We work only in gentle waves. Our beach is the perfect beach for beginners because the water is warm, the bottom is sandy and our waves are gentle. MOST of our beginners stand during their first lesson.
We use special soft boards for early training to minimize any risk of injury and accelerate the learning process.
Almost all of our students are able to get up on the surfboard and surf in whitewater after just 1 lesson!
Then, we offer follow-up lessons that cover key aspects of surfing, like dropping in on unbroken waves and wave theory.
Each lesson includes one free hour of board rental, and students get a special rate on additional hours so that they can practice. For travelers who are in town for a longer period of time we also offer week long courses. The week long course includes three one hour private lessons, week long unlimited board use for practice, unlimited gym use and discounted yoga classes.
During the lesson we provide lycra rashguards. We also sell our special Samara Surf School lycra rashguards, which help prevent board rash and sunburn.
At Jesse's Gym and Surf School, our greatest reward is the smiles on our students faces when they feel the rush of getting up on the board and skimming across the water.
Surfing is an incredible, addictive experience, but it is extremely difficult to learn unless you have the proper instruction.
With our experience, we can get you up on the board and surfing faster than anyone else!
We recognize the fact that for almost every person that surfing is a first-time, personal experience and we treat everyone as special because we care about each one of our students.
That's why we at Jesse's only teach private lessons -- because only with 1-on-1, intensive instruction can you feel safe and find the confidence to "go for it" without reservation. And that is all it takes to learn to surf.
When you connect with the ocean and become one with its powerful natural force, you feel something that only this kind of experience can give you.
Throughout your time here, we continually give tips to you, on a daily basis, to help you keep improving.
Some Comments from Our New Surfers!
"Thank you so much for the absolutely Awesome Lesson. I just may be hooked for life. Thanks for being so patient and helping me realize a mini-dream. I'm a native Californian, but had to learn surfing in Costa Rica. Thanks again - all the best. I'll be back."
-Debbie Arakel, age 36, San Francisco, CA
"I learned more in one hour here than in all the years I've spent dragging myself out in Dog Beach in San Diego. Thanks, Jesse."
-Jeff, San Diego, CA
I am 56 years old and always wanted to surf. Sunrise had me up in a half hour. Can't wait for more."

Learn to Surf Today
Surfing is a lifelong activity which combines overall fitness, balance, strength and skill into a single explosive experience which begins when you pop up and "drop in" on a wave.
The rush of water breaking around you...the speed of descent into the whitewater... combined with the confidence of knowing that you are learning how to surf from the best in the business, to surf correctly and safely, are what you get from Jesse's Surf School.
Surfing has often been called a zen sport because, when you're surfing, surfing is the only thing you are thinking about .... that's why surfing is a way for people to forget about their problems.
We're here to take the problems out of learning to surf.
They don't happen very often, but for the infrequent
occurence there is a fully staffed medical clinic here in Samara,
a bi-lingual private doctor, and a hospital in Nicoya,
accessible via a paved road.
You too can become a surfer!
