About this camp
Built for adult women — first-timers through solid intermediates — who want structured progression rather than a surf holiday; a few co-ed weeks also run. Coaching is the core of it: goal-setting on arrival, mid-week reviews, daily theory, in-water feedback and video analysis, led by female instructors. You stay either at the villa in town or at a jungle property above San Juan del Sur, with yoga and a massage included. The honest downsides are the price, the fact that you are driven to the surf rather than walking out to it, and that most weeks are women-only, so it simply will not suit every traveller.
