Joe Walsh
Founder, Witch’s Rock
Surf Camp

My name is Joe Walsh, I’m the founder of Witch’s Rock Surf Camp.

Witch’s Rock was born from a dream that turned into a reality. In 2001 we drove a school bus from San Diego to Tamarindo to start the best Costa Rica surf camp and here it is.

My goal is to provide you with a great place to stay, fun waves to ride, and the chance to make lifelong friendships. I hope to see you in the water. 

Pura vida!
