"It’s like going home… As soon as I walked through the door I felt so welcome. Coming here as an individual, solo traveler I just felt like I was part of a big family. "

Surf Simply

Technical surf coaching

Unlike conventional surf schools, this isn’t about standing up. At Surf Simply we identify the many specific skills behind the sport and then break down the mechanisms, making surfing accessible to everyone. Our team of 9 ISA and ILSF qualified coaches are surf geeks who work with just 12 guests each week, replacing ambiguous surf lingo with clear, concise, systemized coaching. We don’t teach you how to surf. We teach you how to teach yourself how to surf, or surf better through a combination of video feedback, theory lessons, and in-water coaching.

"Fantastic teachers, great environment and food. Surf Simply definitely increased my surfing abilities and confidence and condensed 6-12 months of learning into one week. Lots of fun too. Definitely recommend!"

"Incredible experience. From the food, to the rooms, the communal spaces, classrooms, proximity to the beach, thoughtful scheduling, abundance of gear, and of course the technical coaching and dry land curriculum, Surf Simply is above and beyond. What the Surf Simply team creates for their guests is magical, seamless. The business feels well run and the team is enthusiastic about what they do. I learned a lot and had a great time. The a.m. and p.m kitchen staff, Jessie, Derek, Lau, Diego, Gabby, and Jamie were the team members I most interacted with and they never ceased to surprise and impress. Was easy to be a solo guest. It was expensive but Surf Simply delivered, and there were no surprise costs. It’s been harder to write this review than I would’ve thought—keep getting lost in the memory high of wading into a warm, clear ocean, being handed the just right smoothie in the hot tub after a surf, and the outrageous indulgence of the coconut fridge…"

"Surf Simply is a first-class surf camp with luxury accommodations, food, cocktails and service. The entire experience was excellent from start to finish, and the staff were uniformly friendly and welcoming. The whole place is defined by competent planning and execution of every detail from booking to checkout.

I met a great group of people with abilities varying from beginner to intermediate, and although I was travelling solo, it was very easy to mingle and meet everyone.

For me, the most important aspect of the week was the surf coaching I received. I have been surfing for about 10 years and have had some coaching here and there, but the level of coaching at Surf Simply was truly a cut above..."

"Simply exceeds expectations!

I've spent the best part of a decade trying to figure out all the things I'm doing wrong surfing. My coach had my number after the first session, and we spent the week building up my awareness while my ability slowly catches up. I made massive steps forward.

The people make this place! the Simply Surf team is incredible, everyone brings their A game, which made our stay brilliant. Location, lodgings, FOOOOOD!, coaching all top notch, and it was seriously fun."

"I had high expectations for Surf Simply after reading reviews but I was completely blown away. The team make you feel at home and completely welcome. They have thought of every single detail to make your experience unforgettable. I have been surfing for a few years but never consistently enough to improve and I never felt I was given the right sort of information to understand how to surf independently. Through my incredible coach Amiya and the lectures you receive throughout the week, I left the week feeling like a confident, independent surfer. The team balance lots of information and a tiring week of surfing with time to relax and recharge. The food is healthy, delicious and perfectly tailored to any dietary requirements, and the massages prepare you for the next surf session! Shout out to Diego for the most delicious cocktails which hit the spot after a long day. My week at Surf Simply was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. Still dreaming of it."

"As a beginner surfer, my goal for the week was to stand up on the surf board and ride a wave. With the incredible program at Surf Simply and my coach Justin with assist from Gabriele I was able to develop a foundation from which to build on and by the end of the week, I was catching my own waves and consistently riding the white water!!
The entire staff from hospitality, culinary, photographers, massage therapists and coaching were super positive, extremely knowledgeable, kind and patient. The small boutique resort was very well appointed with beautiful rooms each with private balcony, very comfortable beds, a beautiful shared indoor/outdoor lounge, kitchen and pool area and the functionality of the design to allow for classroom and yoga studio space, exceeded all of my expectations. Not to mention my incredible massages I received from Jamie . This week not only exceeded my expectations, but I left having fallen in love with surfing.
Thank you Surf Simply - See you soon!!"
