QUICK FAQs

Am I a Level 2 Surfer?

Level 2 surfers have progressed beyond the whitewater and can catch waves in the green water. If you are comfortable dropping into waist-high unbroken waves, then this is the camp for you.

What if I’m more advanced and want pro-level training? 

Jump on board! Our seasoned staff and 3 to 1 student/instructor ratio allows us to tailor the experience to EXACTLY what you need to progress in the waves.

Will I still have time to relax?

Absolutely. As always, our goal is to give you YOUR best vacation ever. You’re in charge!
