Meet the Team

We believe that having the best team makes for the best experience for our guests. Unlike most other surf camps that offer volunteer/work trade jobs and have a constantly rotating cast of characters, we invest in our team, offering higher pay and intensive training in surf technique, instruction, safety protocol, and emotional support.  This guarantees that the fun, enthusiastic, instructors on hand to support you in achieving your surfing goals are the most capable out there.
Every retreat is powered by our awesome retreat hosts, who keep the good vibes flowing all week long, and our incredible local experts-male or female- from the community who know the waves (and the lineup) better than anyone. Together, they bring the magic: blending local knowledge, ocean wisdom, and fun both in and out of the water.
Not all instructors are at all retreats.
