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 your bungalows. 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  where you can shop. You have a fridge and a small kitchenette to cook at your bungalow.
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 not included in the retreat. Simply take a taxi from the airport when you arrive and give them the direction of your bungalow. That direction will be given to you  in the WhatsApp group we will create with all guests one week before the retreat starts. The ride is about 40 min long and costs 1500 pesos.
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 5min walking from your bungalow.Â
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
What is essential to bring?
- Sunscreen (reef friendly) and Zinc
- Swimsuit/Bikini/Boardshort (no wetsuit needed here)
- Surf hat/ long sleeve rash guard for the sun
- Water bottle
- Wax
- Mosquito spray
- Small medicine kit
- A USB-stick/hard drive to get your videos everyday
Do you issue refunds?
Please read all our terms and conditions here.Â
Is is best to bring cash or can I pay by card on the beach?
There are ATMS around your bungalows and some restaurants on the beach also accept cards. However, sometimes debit cards and credit cards won’t work (because they are blocked internationally), which is why we always recommend you to bring some cash with you in case that happens.Â
We also recommend bringing cash to pay the taxis and rental boards.
