Enjoy surfing with Pura Vida Surfers while connecting with yourself. The fun, playful, and challenging surfing together with the mindful, relaxing, and balancing yoga is a combination that many love. The practice of yoga gives strength and flexibility to the body, and peace to the mind. By finding focus and clearing the mind, you will progress more in surfing. Breathing is also crucial in surfing and a main focus in yoga. Properly breathing relaxes the body and enhances your focus.

How to reach there
When you book your flight to Santa Teresa you will first land at Tambor Airport (TMU) and then take a shuttle to Santa Teresa (the shuttle takes about 45 minutes).

This bus takes about 6 hours and leaves San José at 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. As of July 2017, the cost is 7545 CRC, which includes the cost of your ferry ticket of about 800 CRC. If you are a senior, ask for the seniors price. Surfers will pay an extra 2000 CRC for your surfboard.
If you are near the airport you don’t have to head all the way to the 7-10 terminal. Instead, have a taxi take you to the Villa Bonita Bridge in Alajuela. The bus to Santa Teresa, Mal Pais, and Montezuma passes this spot at about 6:20 a.m. and 2:20 p.m. after leaving downtown. This time could be a bit longer.
By shuttle

Normally, this service is provided on a 10 to 15 passenger minibus. The price per person is 50 USD, including ferry fees.

Remember that surfboards are allowed at no extra charge in our minibuses. We set a departing time for each destination, however, the minibus has to go through the town picking everyone up and that takes a few extra minutes.
Costa Rica is a beautiful country, but the infrastructure is uncertain and our geography doesn’t help either, that’s why in some sections of the route you will have to go through bumpy and dusty roads on your way to San Jose city. Total transportation time: 5-6 hours.
