Mario Hidalgo Miranda
The Soul of OSA Surfing
Born into the first family of Costa Rican surfing, Mario carries the legacy of OSA in his DNA. His ancestors were among the first to ride the legendary Pavones left-hand point break, setting the foundation for the surf culture that thrives there today. Growing up in one of the most wave-rich regions in the world, Mario has spent his life chasing perfection, mastering the ocean’s rhythm, and uncovering hidden breaks that few have ever seen.
For Mario, surfing is more than just a sport—it’s a way of life, a deep connection to nature, and a tradition passed down through generations. His love for the waves is matched by his passion for sharing them with others, guiding surfers to untouched locations and teaching them the history and respect that come with every session.
Surfing is a family affair in the Hidalgo Miranda household. His wife, an Australian surfer, shares his love for the ocean, and their 10-year-old daughter is already making waves as a national champion. With her natural talent and deep-rooted surf heritage, she’s carrying on the family’s proud tradition and proving that the future of Costa Rican surfing is in good hands.
Whether carving through Pavones’ world-famous lefts, exploring secret breaks, or passing on his knowledge to the next generation, Mario embodies the Pura Vida spirit. His life is a testament to the timeless beauty of surfing,
The power of family, and the endless pursuit of the
perfect wave.

Rodrigo Gutierrez
Surf Instructor & DJ
Surfing is my life, and sharing the beauty of Costa Rica with others is something truly special to me.
I am a Tico surf instructor and DJ who left a career in healthcare to follow my passion for the ocean. After working for 11 years in a public hospital, I realized that my heart belonged to the waves. I made the life-changing decision to move to Playa Dominical, one of the best surf spots in the country, where I could live my dream and help others experience the magic of surfing.
I started surfing about 13 years ago, and five years ago, I had my first experience as a surf instructor. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to teaching and guiding others, whether they’re stepping onto a board for the first time or looking to refine their skills. My approach is all about balance—offering support when needed but also giving space for students to discover their own style and connection with the ocean.
Beyond surfing, music is another deep passion of mine. I love the House genre and its many styles, and there’s nothing better than seeing people let go, dance, and enjoy the moment. Whether in the waves or behind the DJ booth, my goal is to create unforgettable experiences filled with energy and good vibes.
Costa Rica is a paradise, and being able to share its waves, culture, and spirit with others makes this journey even more rewarding. See you in the water or on the dance floor!
