We go beyond the typical “how to pop up class” and we make sure to provide clear technical advice that will help you continue to progress for years to come.
Surf Coaching Retreat in the Mentawais, Indonesia
The Ultimate Surf Coaching Playground 🌴
Are you an intermediate surfer? It has always been a dream of us to have intermediate surfers experience our unique surf coaching program while practicing in some of the most perfect waves on earth. Since the first time we traveled to the #mentawai islands off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, we’ve had a hard time choosing a different destination for our team surfing vacations. We keep going back, year after year. We thought it was time to invite a few intermediate surfers to experience this incredible surf trip.
Uncrowded perfection, turquoise tropical waters, dreamy landscapes and the feeling of being in one of the most remote locations in the world are some of the feelings that make this surf destination so special. Next year from November 20th to 29th we will be running our first surf coaching retreat in the Mentawai islands.
We only have 8 spots available in total. We will have 2 fast boats to reach 15+ world-class spots and 2 guides per boat, helping small groups of 4 surfers ride some of the best waves of their lives. Follow the link to learn more about it: https://barefootsurftravel.com/surf-trips/info-mentawai

The 9 rules in this video will clarify what we call a "Code of conduct”: A number of unwritten rules made to keep surfers safe 👷♀️, to be respectful 🙏🏼 of one another and to keep a good vibe 🤝 in the water.
We hope it helps !! 📋

A Day in the Life Nicaragua
Throwback to days under the sun in #Nicaragua 3 years ago.
Some things have changed: our deceased 1996 Mazda pickup truck was traded for a new Toyota Hilux.
The essential has stayed the same: our passion for surfing and our love for Nicaragua. There's nothing quite like San Juan del Sur, its hot sunny days, its tropical uncrowded beaches, the friendly locals...
Oh and the 300+ days of offshore winds!
