Who is this experience for?

Whether it is your first time in the white wash or you are a seasoned pro in the tube, our classic surf weekends are open to any surfer of any skill level.

We divide the group for lessons based on experience, so you’ll be getting surf instruction tailored to where you’re at in your surf progression.

All participants must be 19+ and must be strong swimmers and comfortable swimming in variable ocean conditions. This includes, big waves, strong currents, and rips. Participants must have swimming endurance and be able to hold their breath for a reasonable period in order to participate.

  • This is the best surf camp ever! I'm a complete beginner, but I felt so supported and at ease. The surf lesson was awesome and helped me get comfortable in the water, and all the other participants were so fun and kind! Dinners every night were amazing - the organizers really put a lot of effort into them, and it shows. They even accommodated everyone's dietary preferences. There was a perfect mix of surfing, socializing and exploring, with fun things to do every day. 3 days went by so fast! I'll definitely be back - probably every year from now on!

  • I loved the way the trip leads created an environment that was welcoming to all ability/experience levels. I feel like I learned a TON in such a short time, and feel more confident about how to progress my surfing. It was so special meeting so many women who love the ocean and the sport. I feel like my weekend with BnBs reignited my stoke for surfing!!!

  • Thank you for the best weekend in Tofino! I booked on last minute and was SO glad I did. Everything from the organisation, camp set up, communication, schedule, and food was flawless. Learning to surf and hanging out with a group of awesome, supportive ladies in one of the most beautiful parts of the island was an experience I'll never forget. Thank you!!
