The results:
Mostly A’s: The Progression Junkie
You’re here to level up. No matter if it's your first wave or your first barrel, you're chasing improvement and loving the ride. You thrive with structure, coaching, and good waves. Lapoint’s coaching-focused camps (like Ericeira, Santa Teresa, or Nicaragua) are your playground.
Mostly B’s: The Chill Cruiser
Life’s a wave – and you’re riding it at your own pace. You’re here for the sunshine, long rides, and post-surf naps. You’d love laid-back camps like El Sunzal, Alentejo, Fuerteventura or Ahangama for their mellow vibe and good times.
Mostly C’s: The Soul Surfer
Mostly D’s: The Stoke Chaser
You're the hype machine – high energy, good vibes, always ready for adventure. Surf trips are about connection and chaos (in the best way). You’ll love places like Santa Teresa, Bali, or Ericeira in peak season, where the surf is pumping and the nights are young!
