Tim & Tyler Marsh Owners / Instructors:
Tim and Tyler Marsh own and operate Safari Surf School. They were raised on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and have been surfing almost as long as they've been walking. They've spent they're life traveling to surf waves in Indonesia, Fiji, Tahiti, Australia, Mainland and Baja, Mexico, and of course - Costa Rica. They both realized that Costa Rica was home to the good life - Pura Vida - and an ideal location to eventually set up Safari Surf School.

Tim lives and works in San Diego, California. He's the guy who will help you make all your arrangements and reservations for your Costa Rican adventure. While Tim visits and instructs at the School as often as possible, Tyler lives in Nosara and is your prime surf instructor, local guide, dining guru and all-around point man. Together, they make sure every aspect of your travels, lodging, surfing and other amenities are all you expect - and more.

Tim, Tyler and all of our instructors are Red Cross-certified and trained in Ocean Rescue and first aid.
