Founders Dez and Garret Bartelt are retired professional athletes and experienced operators of recreational businesses. Owners of Rincon Surf and Board in Puerto Rico, they expanded to the tranquil seas of Bocas Del Toro in 2006. Hosted by Hotel Lula's B&B, the Bocas Surf School was born and thrives today under the ownership and guidance of the Hudson family. BSS currently offers surf lessons and a board equipment rental service. Being the oldest surf school in Bocas del Toro with professional certified instruction, they are uniquely positioned to provide the highest standard of service to visitors and residents. All instructors are CPR, and First Aid certified and are chosen based on experience as well as certifications.

Bocas Surf School is now owned by Hotel Lula’s Bed and Breakfast, offering both accommodations and instruction. Check our websites for up coming Surf and Stay specials and for Summer School dates.
