Angie
Camp Director - Playa Nosara
angie@delmarsurfcamp.com The moment I came to Playa Nosara for the first time 5 years ago, I knew this was the place for me. Two years later I was living here full time and working as a hotel manager.Playa Nosara slowly changed my way of thinking, my spirit, my body and my life. Slowly, I became aware of the more simple but more important everyday things. Slowly, I became healthier and shed the destructive habits of the normal city life. Living in a secluded place helped me learn to go with the flow and lead a less stressful life. Surfing teaches me every day the magnificence of the ocean and nature overall! The surf camp is my opportunity to share with others this lifestyle that gives me so much happiness day after day!Playa Nosara has a magic energy that draws people from all over the world, I can't wait to be with you as you experience it for yourself!

Bettina del Rio
Camp Director - Playa Santa Teresa
¨Del Rio¨ no ¨Del Mar¨, I am not Maria del Mar's Sister but I’m a friend who loves to share Del Mar surf Camp projects and be around of a healthy lifestyle, practicing surfing every day. I was the last to join the group Del Mar Surf Camp team with new base opening in Playa Santa Teresa and also as the head Surf Mama with Del Mar Surfing Academy, our sister company. As I wasn´t born in Costa Rica, I am so thankful on how this country welcomed me 9 years ago and how the local people gave me the opportunity to work with what I enjoy the most, Surfing! Del Mar is a great family and I’m so glad to be part of it. Bienvenidos, Pura vida.

Monica
Photographer / Host - Playa Hermosa, Jaco
I studied photography in San Jose and moved to Playa Hermosa a couple of months ago. I have always been close to the beach ever since I was a kid so now being here full time is a dream come true. My lifestyle now is completely different, no city chaos, just complete tranquility and good vibes that the ocean always provides.
