Have you ever wondered what a week in the Intermediate Surf Program is like? Well, who better to tell you than our return guests!
Melany and Jimmy created an incredible vlog about their last experience with us in early April this year.

Check it out:

We just love the rawness of it. Their vlog shows it all: from waking up in the morning for the surf tours, the van or boat rides, and stopping midway to grab some delicious empanadas. They capture the fun days in the water and those humbling moments when the waves are bigger than expected. Plus, they showcase the lively atmosphere of Tamarindo Town, where you can have a blast with old and new surf friends.

Mel and Jimmy met Chris, Stephany, Sail, and John on previous surf trips and decided to come back together. This just shows the community and companionship you can create here at Witch’s Rock Surf Camp. Plus, there’s always room to add more people to their team each time they return. It’s what we see with so many of our dear return guests.

And don’t miss the grand finale, the Surfing Awards Ceremony! It looks like their whole team got together and won a bunch of awesome prizes. Talk about the best souvenirs

Witch’s Rock, the wave from which we derive our namesake, popularized by The Endless Summer II most definitely lives up to the hype. If you’ve seen the movie, you know what this wave can do during a swell. Simply put, it’s a leg burning barrel. Witch’s Rock handles swell very well, it gets big, and it gets hollow. What
