The RicaReset Transformation · What you leave with

A surf practice — and a nervous system the ocean reset.

A week in 80°F water at the most consistent break in Costa Rica, with coaches who watch every wave and a property engineered for recovery between them. You leave a better surfer. You also leave a different version of yourself.

Real progression, on video.

Two sessions a day with in-house coaches, video review on the rooftop, and the cleanest break in the country at your doorstep.

02 / 04

Recovery as an afterthought between flights.

After

Sauna-cold contrast as a daily ritual.

Traditional sauna, barrel sauna, cold plunges, and a fully-equipped movement studio — built into every day.

03 / 04
Before

Hosting logistics for your group, on every call.

After

A property that hosts the group for you.

Buyout-only. Twenty bedrooms, dedicated retreat host, board concierge, chef's table. You show up; the property handles the rest.

Before

Vacations that leave you tired.

After

A week the ocean actually restored.

Salt water, sunlight, two-a-days, real food, and the Nicoya Blue Zone working on you the whole time.
