Beginner Surfing & Costa Rica EP06

Practice Spanish for Surfing Costa Rica

Laura · Nosara, Costa Rica

About this episode

You’re in the lineup at a Costa Rican beach and someone snakes your wave — but you don’t even know what just happened is called. This is the episode that fixes that. Laura grew up surfing Playa Guiones in Nosara and teaches you every surf term you’ll actually use in the water: la tabla, la cera, las olas, el set, el pico, el lineup, el manazo (the wipeout) and el tubo — plus the Tico slang that makes you sound local: tuanis, mae, and of course pura vida.
