Basics

7 days / 7 nights accommodation at the The Beach House. Camps run from Saturday afternoon through the following Saturday morning.

Breakfast and lunch are provided everyday. Complimentary juice and two beers daily, whenever desired. Dinner is NOT included except the first night Welcome Dinner.

For dinner surfers can enjoy the variety of local restaurants in the area, cook their own in the fully equiped kitchen, or hire our local chef to come cook.

5-1/2 days of solid surfing. Two surf sessions a day with surf instruction every go-out. Instructors will be in the water every session helping students achieve success. Unlimited use of surfboards during the week.

Here is what’s also included in your stay:

• A link to Richard’s “Learn to Surf & Ocean Safety, vol. 1” full video online
• Photos and videos taken of all the campers during the week will be posted for download. You can also view photos and videos of our past retreats online at our Facebook page.

Equipment & Gear

Surfboards are provided during the camp.

Soft boards 7′ to 10′ are used for beginners. As surfers progress they can graduate to fiberglass longboards, fun shapes, and short boards.

Yoga

Daily one hour Restorative Light Yoga. Due to the intensity of surfing daily we have adapted a more restorative yoga program focused on relaxing and unwinding.

Sports Massage

During the middle of the week every camper receives a massage from a professional local massage therapist. There’s no doubt surfing long hours will produce fatigued and sore muscles, and there’s no better way to work out that lactic acid through a nice therapeutic massage.

Video Review & Coaching

The video coaching done through out the week is a big part of the surf retreat. Video coaching is a wonderful teaching aid, not only do you get hands on instruction but you get to view every day’s lessons. Videos are taken daily and reviewed after lunch back at camp. Richard has been video coaching since 1990 during the surf/yoga retreats.  With his extensive knowledge, he points out essential mechanics students need to perform in order to reach the next level in their surfing. At the end of the winter surf & yoga retreats, every camper receives a web link to view or download the photos and videos of their week’s experience taken through out the week.
