Shakira received a helping hand from her surfing instructor after getting thrown off a wave while on vacation in Costa Rica.
Despite initially looking shaken after her wipeout, the Colombian singer, who was wearing a black helmet over her wavy blonde hair and a Hurley wetsuit, quickly got back up.
As she returned to the shore, the 46-year-old Waka Waka hitmaker waded out of the ocean as she rubbed the salt water out of her eyes.
While walking along the sand on Wednesday afternoon, the mother-of-two smiled as her surf coach carried both their board back to their car.
Last year, Shakira was seen taking surf lessons with her sons, Milan, nine, and Sasha, seven, back in 2022.

A large bruise was seen on her inner thigh as she walked on the beach, most likely from wakeboarding with her kids on the water near her home in Miami, Florida home, earlier this week.
Shakira recently admitted that she felt ‘betrayed’ by her former spouse of 11 years after learning he’d allegedly been unfaithful.
They split last year and the soccer star has since gone public with his new girlfriend Clara Chia Marti.
Speaking to People en Español, Shakira said that she didn’t think she was ‘going to survive’ as the news of Gerard’s alleged infidelity came to light while her father, William Mebarak Chadid, was in the ICU.
A year after announcing the end of her 11-year relationship with the Spanish soccer player, 36, the superstar, 46, recalled how her dad flew ‘to Barcelona to console’ her as she was ‘consumed with sadness because of’ their separation.
‘While he was at Milan’s first communion, he was gravely injured in an accident. Everything happened at once. My home was falling apart,’ she told the outlet.
She continued: ‘I was finding out through the press that I had been betrayed while my dad was in the ICU.’
The mother-of-two, who shares two sons, Milan, ten, and Sasha, eight, with Piqué, expressed feeling devastated that she couldn’t turn to dad, 91, for the advice she ‘needed so much.’

During the interview, Shakira went on to say: ‘The man I have loved the most in my life, my father, was leaving me when I needed him the most. I couldn’t talk to him, or go to my best friend for the advice I needed so much.’
The Hips Don’t Lie crooner noted that her father’s recovery had ‘been very hard and slow.’
The three-time Grammy winner also described her dad as a ‘wonderful man and an endearing character who surprises us all with his strength.’
Speaking of his longtime marriage to her mother, Nidia Ripoll Torrado, Shakira said their relationship is ‘a reflection of that dream that didn’t come true for’ her.
Still, she hopes they serve as ‘role models’ to her kids as a good example of a healthy marriage.
