Dispatch Surf Co

Nosara's first mobile surf school

Your basecamp at the beach.

We bring the school to you. Look for our Sprinter van waiting at the beach entrance — board, gear and your coach, all set up before you get there. No hauling heavy boards over the hills, no hunting for a shop. Just walk down to the sand, and go surf.

Start them young

Teaching children to surf is what we love to do most.

Our youth programs teach the love of surfing, of course, 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.

Every kids lesson is one coach to one child, the whole time — so you can watch from the sand knowing your kid has their coach's full attention.
