Frequently Asked Questions
Best surf retreat, best waves, best people, best location, best decision!
“Where to even begin. I was researching surf retreats in Costa Rica for a couple months before a close friend of mine suggested I check out Rise Up. I’m so happy I did. Stayed at the Jungle Retreat location. If you have any doubts about being in the jungle instead of a hotel…don’t…trust me…you’ll be happy you chose the Jungle Location. It was an absolute blast. So much fun a handful of us extended our stay from 1 week to 2 weeks.
Some of the highlights:
– All the surf instructors were so much fun and you could tell they really took pride in their jobs. They weren’t catching waves the whole time telling us to watch them. They would be out in the water with us, set us up in the perfect spot, and give encouragement the whole way through. Video analysis on Saturday from theory classes were on point. My coach Matt gave me a couple pointers after the 1st session that improved my surfing significantly. Learned more in that 1st video chat that I had surfing by myself for the last 7 years.
– You’re on the edge of the jungle in the middle of nature away from the hustle and bustle of towns like Tamarindo and Nosara. The common area at Jungle Location is where a lot of the magic happens between you and other guests. The rooms are the perfect sanctuary to get away and completely unplug.
– The people. The surf instructors. The staff at the location. Yoga instructor. Everyone was good vibes there and ready to have a good time.
– Food was delicious and served 3 times a day. Even had some vegetarian options for the peeps who choose to not eat meat. Bartender on site as well!!! His name is Minor. Kindest human you’ll ever meet.
It was hands down the best part of my stay thus far in Costa Rica. Me and a couple friends from the camp are already planning our next trip with Rise Up.
If you’re on the fence or choosing between this retreat and another…I promise you that you’ll be happy you chose Rise Up! Pura Vida!”
