Your basecamp in Guiones.
Dispatch Surf Co is Nosara's first mobile surf school. Our sprinter van comes stocked with lockers, chargers, showers, gear and drinks. It meets you and your coach at one of Playa Guiones' three entrances. We provide beachside service, eliminating the long walk to the beach and maximizing your time surfing. We offer board rentals, group lessons, kids lessons, camps and more.

Starting young
Teaching children to surf is what we love to do most.
Our youth programs teach the love of surfing, along with crucial water safety lessons, stronger swimming techniques, body awareness and control and confidence in and out of the water. Your kids will finish their surfing week, poised to tackle harder challenges and confident in their ability to do so.
