Richard Schmidt Surf School

Richard Schmidt, Santa Cruz, CA ¥ÊCold Water Souls

Richard Schmidt Surf School was founded in 1978 by a passionate surfer, Richard, who decided to share his knowledge by opening up a surf camp in his hometown, Santa Cruz, California. Later, he opened another branch in Costa Rica in the beach town of Nosara. Richard, also trained as a lifeguard, had previously worked in various camps as a surf instructor. With his incredible teaching methods and never ending patience, Richard taught surfing to thousands of students through the years. He even created the ‘Schmidt Guarentee’ which guarantees that after the first lesson; students will be to stand up on the surf board and will ride down the wave. Today, Richard along with his wife, Marisa, run the school throughout the year with the help of a loyal team in both Santa Cruz (California) and Nosara (Costa Rica).

Richard states, “Over the past 25 years I’ve introduced people to surfing from ages 3 to 70. I’ve found that, with the teaching techniques I’ve developed, the only prerequisite for learning to surf is knowing how to swim. I guarantee it!… Don’t hold back — let me or one of my qualified instructors introduce you to the sport of kings.”

Groups Lessons:

They are held in small groups with four students per instructor. Cheaper than private lesson yet very effective, the deal is great for a pair of couples, families and friends.

Semi Private Lessons:

It is a two hour session with 2 students per instructor perfect for couples.

Private Lessons

The lesson is carried out by a staff instructor with a single student. It especially is good for rusty surfers who want to know about a particular thing.

During the surf sessions, students are provided with surf boards, Billabong wetsuits, leash guards and other necessary things.

Accommodations

In Nosara, guests are accommodated in a main house that serves as base camp. Students can have a private room or can share it with other students. The house is a few steps away from the beach so students can surf the waves right away. The house features 3 spacious bedrooms in the main house, a rancho with 3 double beds, a separate studio, outdoor shower, a swimming pool, air conditioners in each bedroom, washer and a dryer. Surfers who wish to stay in a more luxurious place can lodge at the Harbor Reef Lodge which is one minute walk away from the main house.
