About Us

At Surf Dojo, we believe the ocean is more than just a playground—it’s a powerful teacher. Through surfing, mentorship, and community support, we empower youth in Costa Rica to grow with confidence, resilience, and purpose.

By offering scholarships, transportation, and essential resources, we make our programs accessible to all passionate young surfers. In doing so, we create safe, supportive spaces where kids can build life skills, connect with the environment, and become role models in their communities.
