Our surf camp is well equipped and we provide everything you need to feel right at home.

The campsite has BBQ cooking facilities, a pool with decking, WiFi, security, launderette, a shop and much more.
Our surf trips are relaxing and fun. You will meet new friends who share a passion for surfing, and learn new surfing skills from our friendly professional, full qualified surf coaches and tour guides.
At our surf camp the emphasis is surfing! We get you in the water as much as possible, so you can learn and improve your surfing techniques.

Over two weeks, 200 of the world’s best surfers from over 28 countries will surf Panama’s beautiful left and right hand breaks.

The Republic of Panama is a beautiful country. When I went there we travelled to both coasts and the Panama Canal, and was amazed at the idyllic scenery, beaches and the fun of Panama city. Well worth a visit.

Kelly Slater to receive the key to Surf City USA
011 months ago
On the 21st June 2011 Kelly Slater will be presented with the key to the city of Huntington Beach, Surf City, USA. This ceremonial honour is found in cities across the world and the idea of a key is thought to come from times when cities were walled and gates locked at night or in times of trouble. Those awarded the keys had free movement and could come and go as they please. Nowadays the honour can be a real ceremonial key and a celebration ceremony for the recipient. Kelly Slater is a lucky man as he already has some city keys! He has received the key to the city of his local town, Cocoa Beach, Florida, and that of of San Clemente.
