Epic Surf Camp

Your adventure begins and ends in San Diego. You're in for an awesome time as your Epic Surf Camp escape will be filled with ocean knowledge, video analysis, and fun. You'll walk away with so much stoke and information that'll make you a better surfer in and out of the water.

Program

Epic Surf Camp will be just that… EPIC! Our goal is to get a minimum of one session per day. Tide, winds and swell permitting we may even have up to three sessions! 

Epic Surf Tours focuses on three main principles: safety, learning, and fun. As students under Manny V, you’ll be given tips on your surfing on a daily basis with the use of photos and videos. We'll break down your surfing habits and analyze how to make minor adjustments that'll improve your surfing. Plus, a minimum of one hour per day will be dedicated to learning about the ocean and how everything affects your surfing life. Q&A throughout will provide open discussions on all things surfing.

For Beginners/Novice

Newbies will learn how to pop up correctly and catch their own waves, beginning in the whitewater and progressing onto green waves. Depending on your progress, you will have a 10-15 minute land lesson in the first couple of days to practice techniques. Then it will be time to hit the water. Manny V will keep an eye on your progress and make sure you're at a surf break with the best conditions for your ability.

For Intermediates

Manny V will coach you throughout the week, ensuring you are able to improve your surfing. Guests can try different boards from Epic Surf Tour’s collection of surfboards, meet great people, and enjoy a worry-free surf holiday. 

Monday: Crossing The Border

We will all meet in the town of Imperial Beach in south San Diego at 9am. There, we’ll load up the Baja Mobile (Suburban) and head south. We’ll stop to get our tourist visa at the border then 35 minutes later, we arrive at your Baja Home. You will spend the midmorning getting acquainted with your home base, talk about what's in store for your trip then we head off to have lunch at one of Manny's favorite places to eat. Once we get back, we surf into the sunset. For your first session, you will start with theory and everything you need to know about the break before going into the water. After introductions and some land lessons in safety, surf etiquette, and basic techniques, you’ll be ready to hit the water and catch your first waves!

Lobster dinner is on top for our first night. We will have our lobster dinner catered by one of Manny's favorite restaurants. Then, it's time for the first slide show of the week. We go over your waves, and point out some things to improve on for your morning session. It's a solid full day right off the bat.

Tuesday: Welcome to Surf Paradise!

After you wake up and have enjoyed your coffee or tea, we’ll take 15 minutes to stretch the essential muscles used for surfing. Then, after breakfast, we suit up and begin lesson number two. We will go over any questions you may have then we get you back in the water.

Manny V will teach you basic surf dynamics including wave selection, speed, and the pop-up technique. He will be hands-on to work with you individually and give great tips to improve your efficiency. By the end of this day, beginners will have caught their first wave and more advanced surfers will have perfected fundamental skills.

After the morning session, we have breakfast and another surf improvement slideshow. We'll have a break before lunch then get back in the water for session number three.

Before we head off to dinner, we’ll spend some time going over some ocean knowledge. Information that you’ll carry with you throughout your entire surfing life.

Wednesday: Find Your Stroke

Your third day of surfing will build on the fundamentals you have already learned. Today, Manny V will take you to the next level by teaching you how to select the best waves, pivot, and optimal paddling techniques to catch waves by yourself. Get ready to move to deeper water and catch breaking waves! The latter part of the morning will be an open surf session to catch a few more waves and some one-on-one time. Now you will have the confidence and skills to move on to the bigger waves and different breaks that lie ahead!

Thursday: The Real Surfing Experience

This morning is our last chance to get in the water. Guests will have a chance to put to use all the skills and ocean knowledge they learned in the past few days. If you just haven't had enough, get your morning surf and catch the last waves before your journey back to San Diego.
