Pura Vida Aventures

Surf Retreats with Substance AND SoulIn 2002, Tierza Eichner stepped onto the sand in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, and found the joy of warm water surfing, the paradise of mangoes and palm trees, the beautiful spirit of “pura vida” (celebrating all the good things in life)… and a passion to share this magical place with others. So she did! After saying “adios” to her dot.com job, buying a one-way ticket to Costa Rica, and navigating Central America as a single female entrepreneur, Tierza built a business and community celebrating the joy of surfing AND the beauty of Santa Teresa.Since 2003, Pura Vida Adventures, a Costa Rica surf camp and yoga retreat, has brought the soul-changing, life-transforming, spirit-filling sport of surfing to people from all over the world.Core Values:We are an organization of fun people who want to share our excitement of surfing and Costa Rica with all our clients.Our entire team is dedicated to supporting and guiding our clients to make sure they have the best experience possible.We care and get involved in our client’s experience.
