If you love water, adventure and sports as much as we do, then a Surf Camp is the best option to spend the best summer of your life. Let the waves, the sun, the beach and the best instructors be part of your new learning and support, to become a professional in this aquatic modality.
1. School vs. Vacation?
One thing does not necessarily oppose the other and even less so when it comes to adventure sports. By joining a Surf Camp, not only will you have days and hours selected to learn and pay attention to each module, but the beach and the sea will be at your entire disposal. It will be a good excuse to make friends and what will make them even more unique, is that you will share with them a same passion for this sport: surfing.
2. Ages and levels
Among the different beaches of Mexico, you will find both options for summer camps for kids from over 8 years old, where besides learning this magnificent sport, they will also be able to spend a good time practicing other water activities such as kayaking, paddle surfing and snorkeling, as well as camps for teenagers and adults with different levels of proficiency, as well as camps for those who have never been on top of a surfboard. Of course, there will be no lack of options for experts who want to improve their techniques either.
3. How many days will it last and where will I sleep?
The duration will depend on each company, the level of skill you have and the groups formed, but you will find options ranging from 2 to 10 days. You will decide this depending on the program you are looking for, your availability and the schedule of each instructor. As for the accommodation, depending on the company you hire your surf camp with, you will be able to find options to spend the night in tents, hostels or private rooms, your decision will rely on how much comfort you are looking for. In case you choose a camping area, we suggest you get information about the materials you have to bring.
4. Study, practice and become a wave tamer
Besides being able to learn a new sport, you will have the opportunity to choose camps where you will also improve your English or Spanish, so it will be a double achievement. Depending on the number of days you have chosen to enjoy your course, the modules will be scheduled in your itinerary. Regardless of the above, you will learn all about the material you need, the positions you will have to take and how to maintain your balance. Topics such as sea conditions and the weather will also be present in your learning. Pay close attention when the instructors teach you the movements, because your agility will depend on how easily you can be one together with the board. Little by little, you will be able to tame each of the waves, from the smallest to the biggest one. Never give up!
5. When is the best season to do it in Mexico?
Not to brag, but Mexico is a country where you will find plenty of coastal cities where it's always summer, so the climate here will never be an obstacle. You will be able to choose from an endless number of places to sign up in the camp that best meets your tastes and preferences, since you have more than 9,000 kilometers of coast to choose from, whether you prefer the Caribbean, the Pacific or the Sea of Cortez. However, we suggest you book your camp between the months of May and October, since this is when the waves are their highest level due to the hurricane season. Don't be afraid, we won't put you in danger at any time.
Long live the surf
Bring yourself to it and book your seat, it will be an unforgettable experience where you will not only learn tons of new things about your aquatic environment, surfing techniques and skills, but you will also spend the best vacations surfing, enjoying the beach, the sun, the palm trees and meeting new friends.
