Safari Surf School, located in
Nosara, Costa Rica, and is owned &
operated by brothers Tim & Tyler
Marsh, has been sharing its “stoke”
and passion for surfing for over 13
years and is still going strong! You
will obviously be thrust into the
Latin “culture” and introduced to
the incredible spirit and vibe that
is “Pura Vida”…which translates to
“Pure Life”. There is a reason that
Costa Rica was voted one of the
“Happiest” countries in the world
and it is very evident when you
meet and greet the local people.
The town of Nosara embodies
all of what makes Costa Rica the
most desirable place to visit on
vacation. It’s like a journey back in
time…where people wave at you
as you pass by and greet you with
a smile, always willing to help,
where old cultural ways integrate
seamlessly with the new “wave”
of today’s younger generation.
There are no paved roads, no
street lights, monkeys still cruising
in the trees in Nosara…but they
do have the creature comforts we
all have come to enjoy like WiFi
connection, ATM access, A/C,
Cable TV, shopping, so you can be
as cut off, or connected, as you
wish.

skills and first aid / first response.
From Olas Verdes Resort to the

99% all local people who live and
have families in Nosara. They
strive for a sustainable existence
in the community that they live by
educating, employing, and giving
back to the local people in their
community.
