FAQ
What surf level is required ?
Our retreats are designed for intermediate-to-advanced surfers. You must be confident in the water on your own , know how to catch waves on your own (not in the whitewash), and know how to turn/ take directions / avoid other surfers that might get on your way. If you know the basics of surfing, we will adapt the coaching to your level 🙂
Can I rent a longboard there?
Yes. If you don’t want to bring your own longboard, we have high quality longboards for rent here at an extra cost.Â
How many surf sessions do we have per day?
There is only one surf session with coaching per day (in the morning) but afternoons are free. Each day we will offer to take you on some optional activities (natural hot springs, turtle release, skatepark…) but you can also just stay at the beach for some free surf.
If lunch and dinner is not included, where can I eat?
There are different restaurants at the beach and around our house in town as well. Each day, we will offer to take you to different restaurants so you can taste and enjoy the local food. If you don’t feel like eating out all the time, there are also small grocery stores around the house where you can shop. We have a fridge and a big kitchen for you to use in the house.Â
Are there any vegetarian/vegan options for breakfast ?
We have vegetarian options, as well as vegan, gluten free and dairy-free options for breakfast. We will ask you if you have any dietary preference before the retreat so our chef can cook accordingly.
What airport do I fly to ?
Airport is Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa.
Do you offer airport transfers?
Airport transfers are included in the retreat on the first day and last day (i.e. on Sundays). If you want to arrive or leave on another day, you must arrange your airport transfers at your own cost.
What is the schedule for the first and last day ?
On the first day, everyone checks in. We will all meet in the house at 5pm to start with an introduction and the longboard theory class, followed by our welcome dinner. On the last day we will have breakfast together and sadly say goodbye.Â
Is there any ATM around?
There is an ATM Â on the road between our house and the beach so we can stop on the way everyday to withdraw money.
Can I come as a couple?
You can come as a couple. If your partner is not a surfer and is not interested in the surf coaching, contact us at [email protected] inquire about pricing.Â
