SURF CAMP

PURO SURF CAMP

Our Surf Camps are designed for surfers who want to commit to a structured development program, whether you are just getting started or looking to take your surfing to the next level.

Each camp is built to teach you how to train, not just how to surf.

Led by experienced coaches, you'll follow The Surf Sequence focusing on technique, mindset, and ocean awareness.

SURF CAMP PROGRAM DETAILS

Progress Map

Our program follows a clear progression path, similar to a belt system in martial arts.

SURF LEVELS

Our program is tailored to your unique surfing level, providing new challenges and personalized guidance at every stage.  
We focus on equipping you with the right tools and adapting concepts to ensure steady and effective progression
from one level to the next.

BEGINNER PROGRAM

Participants in the beginner program will experience their introduction to surfing, learning a sequence of steps to master the fundamentals right from the start of their journey. Beginner surfers are usually not familiar with the ocean and may have gone out with a surfboard in the ocean 0 to 10 times at most. Our program ensures that each participant receives personalized instruction and support, allowing them to build confidence and skills in a safe and encouraging environment.

NOVICE PROGRAM

Once a surfer is past the beginner stage of surfing and starts paddling out to catch unbroken waves by himself, they are what could be called “novice” surfers. The length of the ride is the most important aspect of a good ride for novice surfers. They don’t do maneuvers yet. In the novice program, the novice surfer will learn a sequence to go out surfing and have fun within the surf sequence methodology.

FOUNDATION PROGRAM

Foundation surfers position themselves on the peak more accurately, take off with increased confidence, and perform top-to-bottom maneuvers as they surf down the line. They can generate speed at take-off and consistently complete their waves. Mastering top-to-bottom moves is a key aspect of their performance. In the foundation camp, the goal is for students to learn effectively and train following a structured methodology so they can continue their training independently.

Camps Running Every Week of the Year

Surf Camps run every week of the year, from Sunday to Sunday. Each camp has limited spots to ensure a personalized experience. We work with three levels: Beginner, Novice, and Foundation. Each group is limited to a maximum of 4 participants, allowing for close coaching and individualized attention throughout the camp.

WHAT TO EXPECT EVERY DAY

Our surf camp program was carefully designed to be all inclusive.
Here are the core elements that you can expect to experience everyday.

THEORY SESSION

The first thing you will do every day is meet with your coach to discuss a bit of theory on land before entering the water. You will warm up and talk about the objectives and goals for the day. With your coach, you will engage in psychological work such as visualization, focus, relaxation, and motivation.

SURF SESSION

Time to hit the water with your coach. After analyzing the ocean and conditions, you will enter the water where your coach will provide tips and guidance, help you position yourself to catch the right waves, and offer on-the-spot technique advice. One of our filmmakers will capture the entire session.

VIDEO ANALYSIS

After a brief break post-surf, you will meet again with your coach to review videos of the session. Your coach will analyze each wave in detail, assessing your posture, positioning, speed, and wave selection, identifying what is working well and what needs improvement. These videos will be emailed to you as a record of your progress.

DRILLS

After the video analysis, your coach will guide you through drills on land. These sessions may take place in the lap pool, gym, or on the skateboard in the concrete wave, and are designed to help you build muscle memory so you can apply what you practiced when you return to the water.

ACTIVITY OF THE DAY

Every afternoon, you can enjoy a complementary activity: Yoga to stretch your muscles, U.Natural to work on mobility, the Ice Bath experience for recovery, a BJJ or Self Defense class, or a local tour to explore El Salvador. The surf camp package also includes one relaxing massage per week.

BOARDS

Each day of coaching, you will have a board assigned by your coach from our variety of surfboards. You are welcome to bring your own surfboard and use it throughout the camp if you prefer.

ROOMS

You have several accommodation options: a private room to yourself, a shared private room with a friend or family member, or a spot in our 6-bed dormitory. You can also participate in the camp without staying at the hotel.

MEAL PLAN

Your stay includes one breakfast per day from our house menu. For those who prefer a hassle-free dining experience, we also offer a meal plan at an additional cost.

TRANSFER

We provide airport pick-up and drop-off services, included in the camp package. During the camp, you and your group will travel by car with your coach to the surf spot best suited to the day's conditions. Our driver will stay with the car throughout the session so you can leave your belongings safely.

What Happens If Conditions Are Not Ideal?

Surfing is a condition-dependent sport. If ocean or weather conditions are unsafe or unsuitable, in-water sessions may be cancelled. When that happens, the program continues with structured out-of-water activities focused on technique, theory, and physical preparation.

The goal is for every surf session to be an opportunity to apply what has been learned on land. If a session is missed and additional days remain, coaches may extend future sessions to compensate. Sessions cancelled due to natural conditions are not eligible for credit or refund.
