Meet your host, Debbie Zec, the driving force behind Dominical Surf School and the essence of Surf Muse. 

​

Growing up by the shores of Dominical Beach, Debbie's life has been intertwined with the rhythm of the ocean. She started to teach surfing at the remarkably young age of 14. And by 17, she started carving her own path by establishing her own surf school.

 

She surfed competitively in her late teens and early twenties, with national and international results that placed her among Costa Rica's top 3 female surf athletes and Central America's Top 5. These formative years gained her insight on performance coaching and a technical approach to surf training for all types of students.

​

Debbie has been running Women's Surf Retreats in Costa Rica for the last 6 years and understands the perfect balance between surfing, adventure and relaxation.  With much pride and care she is looking forward to welcome you to her hometown and show you the best that Dominical and its surroundings have to offer! 

Meet Claudia Schulz – German and Peruvian roots and having moved around the world all of her life.

 

She lived in Costa Rica for 10 years where she turned her love for surfing, community and adventure into her profession by not only becoming an ISA surf instructor and founding her own adventure travel company but also initiating and running a social project helping local girls find a sense of passion, community and wellness through surfing. It is her personal mission to empower girls and women to find confidence through the balance of body and mind, developing physical and mental strength – on the board and off it. She loves to help young girls find an opportunity in their communities and foster the ability to share her experiences in surfing, now from Portugal.
