Bodhi Surf School: Your Costa Rica Surf Camp in Uvita

At Bodhi Surf School you can expect to learn more than how to stand up on a surfboard. A unique sport, surfing requires mind-body awareness and an understanding of the ocean. In fact, the word bodhi in Sanskrit means “awakened” and that is exactly what we hope you will experience:
- an awakening of your inner surfer
- a reconnection with nature
- a chance to overcome personal challenges and learn more about yourself
Yoga & Surf Camp
Bodhi Surf is a surf camp that specializes in both surfing and yoga, two activities that are complementary to one another as well as congruent with the mind-body connection. Participating in yoga and surfing together will bring you benefits that go beyond physical activity.

Beyond Your Ordinary Surfing Vacation
A yoga retreat or surfing vacation with Bodhi Surf is more than your typical surf vacation. Bodhi Surf is a small-business committed to:
- Responsible and ethical business practices
- Community involvement and participation
- Active protection of our environment
We see these principles as an extension of the surfing and yoga culture and are excited to share this way of life with you during your time in Uvita, Costa Rica.

An Untouched Location
We are located in Bahia Ballena, just 15 minutes south of Dominical, a still relatively untouched area where you can experience the Pura Vida way of life amidst breathtaking scenery. In fact, you will be taking surf lessons in the Ballena Marine National Park, a pristine marine conservation area. During your visit with Bodhi Surf, not only will you learn about surfing and yoga, we will also share our knowledge of this special place.

Making A Difference
Bodhi Surf is committed to being actively and positively involved in Bahia Ballena, the community we call home. Although we are a private company, we realize that we cannot function or thrive without the community around us, and are thus very keen on addressing the issues that need tackling in our area. At the moment our primary efforts have focused on:
- Conservation
- Youth Development
- Sustainable Tourism Development
As a result of community projects we have spearheaded and/or participated in, Bodhi Surf was the January 2011 recipient of Sustainable Trip’s Making a Difference award. Though receiving such awards and recognition is exciting, it is the local impact we have that truly keeps us motivated. Come see for yourself.
