Welcome  To  Tidal Wave Surf Academy! 

Where we not only offer incredible surfing adventures but also simplify your Costa Rican vacation planning from our stunning base at Tamarindo Beach. Founded by Alvaro and Loren, our academy is more than just a surf school—it’s a vibrant community that extends the spirit of adventure and surf to all who join us.

I’m Alvaro, a Venezuelan native who discovered my passion for surfing on the waves of Chirimena 19 years ago. This journey led me to the beautiful shores of Tamarindo, where the vision for Tidal Wave came alive. Loren, my partner in both life and business, joined the adventure after falling in love with surfing and the lifestyle it offers here.
 

At Tidal Wave, we are dedicated to offering you more than just the skill to surf. We delve deep into the Pura Vida lifestyle to help you discover the natural beauty of Guanacaste and the joy and thrill that learning to master the waves offers.
