Costa Rica
Hey there! I’m Valentina "Sunset Rider" Lopez, a dedicated surfer and coach hailing from the pristine beaches of Costa Rica. Ever since I caught my first wave as a child, I knew surfing would become my passion and way of life. The thrill of riding the waves and the peace that comes from being in the ocean fuels my spirit every day.
With over seven years of surfing experience and a background in coaching, I love empowering others to find their flow in the water. I strive to create a positive and encouraging environment where every student can grow, learn, and fully enjoy the beauty of surfing.
