About Young Vision
Sharing the Pura Vida lifestyle through surfing since 2008
Our Story
Young Vision Surf School was founded in 2008 with a simple mission: to share the joy of surfing and the authentic Costa Rican Pura Vida lifestyle with people from around the world.
What started as a small operation in Montezuma has grown into one of the most respected surf schools in Costa Rica, with locations in both Montezuma and Santa Teresa (Playa Hermosa). Our success is built on a foundation of professional instruction, genuine hospitality, and a deep love for the ocean.
Today, we're proud to be 100% Costa Rican owned and operated, with ISA certified instructors who are passionate about teaching and dedicated to providing safe, fun, and memorable surf experiences for students of all ages and skill levels.
