Surf Guiding
Get the most out of your surf trip with our Surf Guiding packages, designed for independent surfers who want to explore new spots and surf with local guidance.
What is Surf Guiding?
Our Surf Guiding package is all about exploring the world’s best surf spots, guided by our expert surf coaches who know the local conditions inside and out. This is for independent surfers who want to get more out of their surf trip with a personalized experience.
Note: This is not a surf lesson; guiding is for surfers who already have the skills and are looking for a great time and excellent waves.
Who is Surf Guiding for?
Surf Guiding is designed for independent surfers who have mastered the fundamentals and are ready to explore new surf spots.
Requirements:
300+ hours of surfing experience (roughly over two years of regular surfing).
Comfortable surfing in all types of conditions, from mellow beach breaks to more challenging reef breaks.
A desire to explore new spots and maximize wave count during a surf trip.
The ability to surf independently.
If you're looking to surf with freedom but want expert guidance and a solid setup to ensure you're catching the best waves, Surf Guiding is the perfect fit for you!
What to expect
Surf Guiding is all about finding the best waves and getting the most out of your surf trip – no stress, no guesswork. Just you, your board, and our local guides leading the way.
Two surf sessions per day
Transport to the surf spots
Daily briefing on spots and conditions
A minimum of three filmed surf sessions
Accommodation
Meal inclusion varies by destination
No wheels? No worries.
Would you rather spend your money on a rental car or on the ultimate surf experience? With transport to and from the waves included, there’s no need to worry about renting, driving, or figuring out directions. We’ll handle the logistics, so all you need to do is grab your gear and enjoy the ride. Less planning, less spending, and more surfing. Just the way it should be!
Leave the board at home (if you feel like it)
Do you want to travel light? We got you. We built a solid quiver of quality boards available for rent in both Nicaragua and Ericeira. Perfect if you don’t feel like lugging your own gear (or spending an extra €200 on airline fees). This makes it easier than ever to show up and just surf!
Let the good days roll
Your day kicks off early, chasing clean morning waves before the crowds roll in. With your board under your arm and your guide leading the way, you’ll head straight to the best spot for the day’s conditions; no rental car or logistics planning is needed. Just show up and surf.
You’ll have two surf sessions each day, usually one in the morning and one in the afternoon, designed to give you the most time in the water. Between surfs, there’s time to relax, grab a solid breakfast, maybe a beachside lunch, and catch up with your crew.
Depending on which location you pick, you’ll find heaps of fun activities to add to your trip, like a safari in Sri Lanka, wine tasting in Ericeira, and volcano boarding in Nicaragua.
You also get some of your surf sessions filmed, because who doesn't want some solid clips to post on socials post-trip?
Bring your board, connect with surfers on your skill level, and enjoy a week focused on surfing more, stressing less, and enjoying the good life every day.
Sustainability
The beach is our home. We are leaving it better than we found it.
We have made a commitment to our ocean, beaches and community. They are our playground, our home and our livelihood. We are going to leave them better than we found them. That means that all our employees, friends and guests helps out with recycling and taking other actions for the environment. Each week there are beach cleaning and recycling activities to ensure that our home stays the way it was supposed to be.
