Cabo Matapalo Surf School — Coming Soon
Cabo Matapalo Surf School
Osa Peninsula, CR
A new site is forming — like a set on the point break

Something’sbuilding

Our new home online is on its way. Until it lands, lessons, guiding, and jungle hikes with Eddie are running exactly as usual — just message us.

SCROLL
The short version

Private lessons, real jungle, one instructor who knows every break.

Tucked into the tip of the Osa Peninsula, Cabo Matapalo is a five-mile run of point breaks, warm water, and howler monkeys in the trees behind the sand. Eddie has taught here for years — reading the swell, picking the right beach for the day, and staying in the water with every student until they’re standing. This page is a placeholder while the full site is built; everything else about the school is open for business.

My kid was already out there surfing and he went out there to check on him and then teach him. Stayed with him and taught him over the next few days. I couldn’t be happier.

Every time I was preparing to go out and surf, I would feel anxious and scared — then Eddie would show up and it all went away. I felt safe, supported, and empowered the whole time.

My two teens loved surfing with Eddie! He was patient and got both of them riding waves like pros. He also showed us how to open a coconut and pointed out a sleeping sloth. Highly recommend!

So accommodating for me and my family. Thorough out of the water where we learned the basics and how to pop up, and great in the water helping each of us get waves. So easy to communicate with too.

A thorough orientation on positioning plus the entire time in the water helping us catch the right waves. In the space of an afternoon Eddie had us up and surfing at beautiful Pan Dulce.

It felt more like surfing with a friend than a teacher. We surfed Pan Dulce and Backwash and it was amazing how he found the sweet spot every single time. Pura vida, Eddie.

We walked to Matapalo falls with him and he taught us so much about local flora and fauna along the way. Our son was thrilled about the coconuts he cracked open. Highly recommend.
