    • @BodhiSurfYoga
      @BodhiSurfYoga 2 місяці тому

      it doesn't really have a name haha. It's a pretty informal tour that's run by a man named Davíd from his house. His instagram and Facebook handles (doesn't have a website) are "Coco time Punta Lagarto." Facebook here --> facebook.com/ProductosDeCocoPuntaLagarto/ We usually deal with the bookings for our guests, by communicating directly with him. The tour can also be booked through Costa Rica Culture Tours, and there it's just referred to as the "Coconut tour". Let me know if there's any other way I can help with this.

    Great location, super cool vibes. Travis was very accommodating and worked with my schedule even though we didn’t have the numbers for a class. Luis, my instructor was chill, supportive and just about perfect at pushing my boundaries safely. My only downside was my own. Should have prepared better cardio. I plan on some more individual lessons as soon as the surfs right. Next trip I hope to bring my wife for some yoga classes. I don’t think you can go wrong with these folks.

    I usually just tell people to position yourself in front of a wave with your ass higher than your shoulders, for brevity's sake, but this instruction is much better in the details. I would add to thank the ocean each time before you enter, but that is a personal decision. I look at it as trying to stay on the good side of what can be a great and powerful friend.

      Practice duck diving as you are propelled on the wave, and letting the wave carry your body and legs over your head as you tuck your head and do a somersault roll, leaving you behind the wave when you come up to the surface. Just make sure it's deep enough when doing this so you don't injure yourself by hitting sand below!
