Three Lapoint camps, one unforgettable Central America surf trip
September 4, 2025Together with photographers Amanda and Victor, we set out to capture the essence of surf life in Central America. The trip took us across our camps in El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica, where we met guests, paddled out at sunrise, and discovered the adventures that make each destination unique. The result is a video that will have you craving your next trip.
What’s it really like to surf in Central America? To answer that, photographers Amanda and Victor joined us for a trip across all three Lapoint destinations. The result: sunrise paddle outs, turtle hatchings, boat trips to perfect breaks, jungle rides, and everything that makes surf life here so special. Watch the video and get a feel for the vibe.

Why combine the three destinations?
Combining El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica in one trip isn’t just about ticking off more waves; it’s about getting the ultimate Central America surf experience.
Plus, you’ll meet new friends along the way and make memories that no single camp could offer on its own.
Variety of waves and landscapes: Each camp offers a different surf style, scenery, and vibe, from long point breaks to jungle-covered beaches. You’ll never get bored.
Maximize your adventure: Instead of sticking to one location, you can explore multiple cultures, activities, and surf spots, all in one trip.
Better value for your travel: Traveling between camps is easy, allowing you to enjoy more surf days, adventures, and memories without the need for multiple separate trips.
Meet more people: Each camp has its own community, so you get to make new friends at every stop, no matter if you travel solo, with a partner or in a group.
