BITCHES AND BARRELS PACKING LIST 

You’re coming to camp and surf in Tofino! Hooray! But what should you bring? Below is a detailed packing list for everything you will need to enjoy four days and three nights of fun times by the ocean!

Surf gear:

  • Wetsuit — 5/4 or 4/3 (July/August only).

  • Booties

  • Gloves — optional in summer, but nice to have as a backup.

  • Surfboard — if you are not sure what you need, chances are you should lean towards a learner board. 9’-10’ soft-tops (aka: confidence builders) are wicked boards to progress on.

  • Bag or plastic tote for your wet wetsuit.

  • Leash

  • Cold Water Wax (for non-soft tops).

  • Fin(s) and fin key

  • Sunscreen/zinc

CAMPING GEAR:

  • Tent (1-2 person tents are preferred as sites are shared).

  • Tarp and rope.

  • Sleeping bag.

  • Sleeping pad.

  • Pillow.

  • Ear plugs - sites are shared and Surf Grove is a busy campground. If you’re sensitive to noise when sleeping, we recommend packing a pair of ear plugs.

  • Rain gear — Tofino is in the rainforest. Even if the forecast seems promising, we recommend packing rain gear.

  • Warm clothes — even in the summer Tofino typically does not get insanely hot. The winds also pick up in the afternoon, so it is a good idea to prepare for cooler afternoons/evenings.

  • Headlamp.

  • Stove/cooking gear — you will be responsible for your own breakfasts/lunches/snacks, so if you are going to be cooking/heating up food, please remember your stove, pots, pans, and fuel.

  • Plate, bowl, mug, and cutlery — so you can enjoy our delicious dinners!

  • Dish soap and sponge - so you can clean your dishes after our delicious dinners.

Life gear:

  • Camera.

  • Book.

  • Water Bottle.

  • Towel for changing/hanging out on the beach.

  • Phone charger - There’s power on site.
