Safari Surf School has some of the best surf instructors in Nosara—most of which have been with Safari since the beginning in 1999 and have become legends in the community. Besides being International Surfing Association (ISA) Level 2 or Level 1 instructors, most of them are certified for advanced surf rescue procedures and lifeguard training. Safari Surf and Olas Verdes even hosts ISA and International Lifesaving Federation (ILS) surf rescue trainings in the off season for any and all instructors in Costa Rica and even Central America.
