Choose Your BEACH
Popoyo is in the north or the Nicaraguan region of Tola, and is a surf mecca, calling both beginner and advanced surfers to its mellow inner reef breaks and epic outer reef breaks alike. It also charms beginner surfers with the popular and sheltered Beginner’s Bay, just a little way south. South of Beginners bay, surfers seek out Playa Santana, a long beach with multiple reef breaks and a lot of variety.
Hacienda Iguana is the home of Playa Colorado which boasts epic barrels during peak season as well as year-round satisfaction at Panga Drops with its deep-water swell. Further south at San Juan Del Sur, the coves and beaches seem endless, each offering something delightfully different at either Playa Maderas, Playa Hermosa, Playa Remanso or Playa Yankee. One thing is for sure- with all of the variety and nearly year-long off shore breezes, you are bound to have the surf experience of a lifetime!

First Time Surfer - This was the most fun I've had in a while. My instructor Chris taught me the basics and gave a lot of insight into surfing as a sport and a lifestyle. Plus I got a lot of cool photos because I purchased the photo package. It's all worth it and then some!

Great experience - They provided everything we needed for first time surfing lessons. The instructor we had was knowledgeable and had a great attitude. We didn’t get the photo session in advance but they had some available to purchase after which was really nice. Would do this again and recommend to family/friends

Blast at Surf Camp and Lessons - My son and my girlfriend's son had a blast at the Pacific Surf Camp. They went for a week- my son (who has surfed before) was stand up surfing in a matter of minutes and then went to bigger, deeper waves by the end of the week. My girlfriend's son, who had never surfed before, was catching his own moderate waves and standing up on his own by the end of camp. Paige made sure both boys were really taken care of. (Even got one boy gluten free pizza for the end of camp and Schwag!). Danny got my boy out to the bigger waves too.
I took lessons first with Jeff then with Max. Jeff was an excellent instructor- keeping his directions simple to the point and positive. (The day before I floundered on a rental with no instruction). The next day, Jeff had me up and riding in less than 15 minutes. I went back for more instruction the following day with Max. He showed me there is more to learn- from balance on the board, to wave selection, to how to turn your board. If I had to do it again, I would sign up for a week's worth of lessons. This crew can get you up and surfing quickly.
We plan on going back next summer- and go for even bigger waves 🙂
