We recently had the pleasure of hosting a family from Cleveland for a truly special foil surfing adventure along the stunning coastline of the Osa Peninsula. The occasion? A father’s 60th birthday, celebrated with his college-aged children, aiming to create memories that would last a lifetime.

The family came from a wake foiling background, having learned to foil surf behind a boat. This trip marked their first venture into tow-foil surfing in real surf—something we specialize in. Watching them progress from wake foiling to surfing waves was a highlight for all of us.

To ensure their stay was as comfortable and memorable as possible, we upgraded their accommodations to a chic, eco-friendly resort nestled on a jungle hillside. The resort offered a true pura vida vibe, with sustainable, locally-sourced cuisine and breathtaking views of the Osa Peninsula. It was the perfect blend of luxury and nature, creating an epic environment to unwind after a day on the water.

But the adventure didn’t stop there. We took a day to explore the coastline on our supply boat, turning the trip into a pleasure cruise. The family enjoyed sightseeing, snorkeling, and relaxing with drinks and margaritas—adding another layer of fun and bonding to their experience.

In the end, the father shared that this was the best trip of his life—a testament to the incredible memories they created together. It’s experiences like these that remind us of the magic of family adventures and the joy of discovering something new together.
