Learn to Surf in warm H20! Or improve your surfing in fun, easy waves. Our camp is designed to be an in-depth introduction to the art of surfing.

Surf lessons:
For beginners, there's an initial lesson on land covering equipment, ocean safety, and surfing etiquette, followed by two in-water coaching sessions. Groups are kept to a max of a 4 to 1 instructor ratio. Surfing 2-3 times a day, six days in a row will definitely improve your surfing! Guests have unlimited access to all equipment and are encouraged to surf as often as desired.

If you've surfed before:
If you already know how to surf and know surfing etiquette, you're welcome to skip any instruction and just start surfing!  If your flight lands before 3, you should be able to surf the day of arrival.

Activities and Nitelife:
Surfing is the primary activity, but also included in the camp are a horseback ride, a zip line canopy tour in the jungle, a massage, a snorkeling trip and surfari to a remote break. Most tend to gather around sunset for volleyball, horseshoes, bocce, frisbee, and various games of skill.  Though still a small town, Sayulita has a great selection of bars and restaurants and some great local and visiting musicians.

What to bring:
Sunblock, sunglasses, & a hat are recommended.  At least two towels & a rashguard if you have one. For clothing, pack super light; you'll need very little! The air temperature averages around 80F from November to April, slightly less for the H20 temperature! Bring long shorts to prevent inner thigh rash. Neoprene rashie Dec-Feb is advisable for the wind if you're easily cold and stay out a long time but not necessary. Booties are at your discretion; there's a lot of rock reef breaks but 99% of people don't wear them.

Safety:
We have a top-notch first aid kit. The nearest hospital is 5 min away in the next town. Valuables can be locked up in a lockbox if you don't want to store them in your room.
Location:
Sayulita is located 45 minutes north of the Puerto Vallarta airport. It is about a 2.5 hour flight from Los Angeles. Airfare from the west coast runs around $300-375, from the east coast, around $550.

Exercises you should do to prepare:
Lots and lots of push-ups, core balancing, swimming, & yoga. Upon booking you'll be sent a more detailed set of exercises that will help prepare you.
