INSTRUCTION

We are dedicated to offering the highest quality surf instruction on the market. We know there are a multitude of other surf schools and camps that you could choose from, but we believe that our program is unique thanks to the individual attention we give our clients and to the quality and nature of our coaches. Our program is also unique because rather than being confined to just one beach, as most surf schools are, our surf lessons take place at a variety beaches and breaks along the spectacular El Salvadorian coastline.

OUR EL SALVADOR INSTRUCTION PROGRAM

Beginners: Our beginner program is tailored to guests who have never or rarely surfed before. To read more about this program, please check out our beginners section

Intermediates: Our intermediate program is designed to ensure that intermediate surfers optimize their technique, develop their style, and challenge their performance. At the beginning of the trip we’ll assess your particular development needs and then work with you to achieve them. The goal of our surf school for intermediates is to refine your technique, maximize your confidence, and get you working on new skills and maneuvers. Intermediate surfers who would like to perform more radical maneuvers will be encouraged to surf more confidently and aggressively by taking full advantage of the waveface. You will be taught to better control your board by performing drop-offs, precise bottom turns, and by working your boards through slow sections into fast pockets. Your surf knowledge will be enhanced through informal workshops on such topics as wave patterns, currents, tides, potentially dangerous situations, priority rules and surf report reading.

Advanced: Our El Salvador instruction program is not designed for advanced surfers. Nevertheless, our El Salvador trip is ideal for advanced surfers who wish to experience El Salvador's best spots alongside knowledgeable locals. Our surf team can guide you to the best breaks in El Salvador (including several boat-access beaches), can make sure you access the best waves on any given day, and can provide you with the knowledge you need to surf safely in unfamiliar breaks.

We base our surf instruction on the following points:

»Individual attention: most surf schools process so many clients each week, they cannot afford to give students the individual attention they deserve. Although our lessons are group lessons, we treat each client as an individual – identifying their particular development needs and learning goals and working with them to ensure these needs are met.

»Low coach-to-client ratio: in order to ensure clients receive the attention they deserve, we use a much lower client-to-coach ratio than do most surf schools and camps. Our client-to-coach ratio is a maximum of 5-to-1 (often it is lower), whereas many surf schools use a ratio of 8-to-1.

»Proprietary coaching program: our team of expert instructors has worked hard to develop an instruction program that maximizes client learning and is tailored to the specific needs of our clients.

»Maximum flexibility & All-day coaching: Although we base our surfing instruction on a comprehensive plan, we nevertheless keep it as flexible, relaxed, and tailored to the individual as possible. The atmosphere we create is more one of surfing with friends than partaking in a lesson. Our instructors will surf alongside you giving you tips and encouragement; they won’t line you up in a large group and teach from a generic lesson plan as you find in a typical surf school experience. Also unlike typical surf schools, we don’t limit you to just a few hours of instruction per day; our instructors are available to encourage you and give you tips all day long. You can use our instructors as little or as much as you like, and you can push yourself as much as you choose.

»Highest quality coaches: We work hard to select the best possible instructors. Our coaches are expert surfers (many are professional or competitive surfers) who have extensive coaching experience. Perhaps even more importantly, our instructors are fun, open and easy-going people who love to teach.

»Long-term improvement: Surfing is a challenging sport and you may not master all the skills and techniques you desire during your short time with us. One of the goals of surf school, therefore, is to give you all the knowledge and advice that you need in order to continue to learn from us months and even years after you’ve left us.

»Unforgettable experience: although we want you to maximize your surf performance, our most important goal is that you have a fantastic time while traveling with us. For this reason we work hard to create a supportive, relaxed and fun atmosphere and to create an itinerary that is unique and full of variety.
