TUITION for the week is $1700 (shared room). Or $2100, if you'd like your own room. Here is a breakdown of what is included:



BASICS
8 days/7nights accommodation at the main house (shared) or Harbor Reef Lodge (private). Camps run from Saturday afternoon through the following Saturday morning.

Breakfast and lunch are provided everyday. Complimentary juice and beer whenever desired. Dinner is NOT included except the first night. However, a lot of times there is food left over from lunch if one feels like they don't want to go out to dinner. There are about eight restaurants within walking distance from the house for eating out.

Five and a half days of solid surfing. Two go-outs a day with surf instruction every go-out. Instructors will be in the water every session helping students achieve success. 7 days unlimited use of surfboards.

EQUIPMENT & GEAR
Surfboards are provided during the camp.

Soft boards (Softops) from Surftech ranging from 7' to 10' are used for beginners. As surfers progress they can graduate to fiberglass longboards, fun shapes, and short boards.

YOGA
Richards' wife Marisa has a BFA in Dance, and is certified as an Interdisciplinary Yoga Instructor with the Nosara Yoga Institute of Costa Rica. She is also a registered Yoga Instructor with the Yoga Alliance. She has developed and encouraged the Yoga and stretching portion of the Surf Camps. We begin each morning with a yoga class is taught by Marisa or Richard. This a great way to start the day and prepare your body for it's day of surfing. Flexibility being one of the greatest factors of success when learning how to surf.

SPORTS MASSAGE
During the middle of the week every camper receives a massage from a professional massage therapist. There's no doubt surfing long hours will produce fatigued and sore muscles, and there's no better way to work out that lactic acid through a nice therapeutic massage.

VIDEO REVIEW / COACHING
The video coaching done through out the week is a big part of surf camp. Video coaching is a wonderful teaching aid, not only do you get hands on instruction but you get to view every day's lessons. Videos are taken daily and reviewed in the afternoon back at the main house. With head surf coach Richard critiquing, the campers can go to sleep and dream about what they would like to accomplish the following day. At the end of the winter surf camps, every camper receives in the mail their own DVD of their week's experience, along with any still photos of themselves taken through out the week.
