Costa Rica Surf & Serve

Wake up for an optional morning surf, breakfast, small group discussion time, alone time with the Lord, lunch, serve the local community in all kinds of different ways (surf lessons, painting the local school, serving the local families, running a vacation bible school), dinner, and then debrief day.

As a team we value team time as well. We will also have time to see the beautiful country (hikes, beaches, sunsets, visit local church, etc). We will have plenty of team time where we get to share from God’s word, hear each other’s testimonies, pray for each other, and build long lasting friendships with the rest of the team.

Surf is for all levels from beginner to advanced, beach breaks, point breaks, warm water, and very friendly surf culture.

If you do not surf, we will have other opportunities to connect with locals and fellow team members that don’t surf. We will also be traveling to see other parts of the country on a couple of days.

This trip is geared towards families and the sleeping arrangements will directly reflect that. Most if not all the rooms will have AC, comfortable beds, a shower, flushing toilets, and 3 great meals a day.

March 15, 2024 registration will open. Space is limited on this trip so please be ready to sign up on March 15th. If you have any questions please contact us prior to this date.

All of our trips at Christian Surfers we do our best to keep the cost as affordable as possible. We want this trip to be between $1,100-$1,500. We are still working on the exact details so we do not have the exact amount yet.

Registration includes all of the ground costs including: transportation, 3 meals a day, snacks, drinking water, sleeping arrangements, extra ministry supplies, and blessing the local community in several different ways.

It does not include your airfare, board bag fees, extra drinks and snacks from the gas stations or local store, any souvenirs you may want, a tourist visa if needed, and travel insurance. 

There will be a non refundable deposit of $200 to hold your spot, the remaining balance once paid is locked in a month before the trip start date. Due to the efforts of planning on our team and the accommodations that will be booked ahead of time, a full refund is not available within a month of the trip.

Yes we strongly recommend bringing the whole family. This trip will have a pace that is great for a family. 

We suggest buying your flight between 3-4 months prior to the trip for the best prices. We will narrow the times when you will need to arrive after we have secured our team. We want everyone arriving around the same day and time to make transportation as smooth as possible.

You can bring any type of board you normally ride. We will be surfing mostly beach breaks with a couple possible point breaks as well. Water temp is usually around mid to upper 70’s. So maybe just a wetsuit top or a spring suit if you get cold easily. You will definitely want a rash guard and plenty of sunscreen.

Yes, Costa Rica has been known as the safest Central American country in Central America for many years. Most people speak both English and Spanish. We will have a great team of leaders who have lots of experience leading teams and traveling in Costa Rica. Your safety is a top priority and this is a very good first mission trip to go on to gain experience and confidence serving God in another country.
