Surfing

Surfing Northern Nicaragua – Surrounding our camp there are more than a dozen of spots to choose from. There are different types of waves to choose from as well. From hollow fast tubes on a vast beach break or half moon bay cradling beautiful longboard swells. There is another halfmoon that produces some of the funniest and longest barreling waves around. Also a point break that spits a world class left. Not to mention the countless reef breaks that are located on the horizon.

From our Surf Camp you will have access to the best breaks in the remote northern region of Nicaragua. Our mission is to guarantee we are always at the right spot, even if we have to go by boat or 4x4 to find the next secret break that’s around the corner. We will surf pristine waves most of them with no crowds and some with few crowds, and keep on the go to surf the next epic spot with the changing tides.
