Something that I really enjoy about our week is our surf instruction and instructors. Since most of our guests have never surfed before, it’s important to have them feel safe and taken care of. We spend a lot of time breaking down the basics with our guests by going over such things as anatomy of a surfboard, surf etiquette, safety, variety of pop-ups, the turtle roll and much more. It’s our hope that when our guests leave our surf retreat that they feel comfortable surfing at their local breaks back home or when they go on another surf vacation.
