Jerry Hirsch and Friends, with programing from the Florida Surf Film Festival, and the generous support of TRIO Tamarindo for the benefit of the non-profit organization CEPIA, bring to you the 2nd annual Tamarindo International Surf Film Festival to be held on March 24th & 25th, 2023 at TRIO in Playa Tamarindo.

Our mission is to give back to our community. We have partnered our Film Festival with local non-profit CEPIA, with all of the proceeds of the Festival going to help and support thousands of at-risk children, teens and their families in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica.

Our mission is to entertain, educate, and energize our multi-cultural surf community in Costa Rica through the sights, sounds, and emotions of the moving image. We will celebrate the surfers, artists and filmmakers that will take us to unimaginable places. We will visit these places that we can only dream of. We will get a better understanding of what it takes to travel the world and experience different countries, their people, their customs, their ways of life and their search for surf.

      Join us!

THANK YOU!

Charter Fishing in Costa Rica: What to Know

The marina wakes up early. Before the sun burns the pink off the horizon, crews are already loading bait, checking lines, and swapping the kind of dockside predictions that sound half science, half folklore. One captain says the billfish were running blue water...
