The Heart of the Ark

My journey with the ocean began long before I knew the name of a surfboard. Born and raised in the rugged shores of Cabuya, Costa Rica, I discovered the rhythm of the waves at the tender age of nine. What started as a simple childhood curiosity quickly evolved into a lifelong pursuit of connection and flow.

Surfing for me is more than a sport; it is a form of therapy and a bridge to the soul of the Costa Rican landscape. Over the years, I have dedicated myself to sharing this profound experience with others, blending traditional surf education with modern wellness practices. At Noah’s Ark Surf, we believe that every wave tells a story of resilience and every lesson is an invitation to grow.
