The waves and the speedboat
We are surrounded by waves. Probably one of the best ones in the world and with more than 20 spots we have the variety to choose the waves that match with your level: mellow and fun waves, barrels, challenging waves, long walls and even beginner waves.
This is our homebreak, quite secret and most of the times it is empty! We also got a left and an a-frames.

​Our local team have been working professionally dropping our guests to the best waves regarding their preferences since 2004. 
We listen what you want and we bring you to the wave that match most for you. That's why we run 2 or 3 speedboats at the same time in case the camp is full booked, so our boats are not crowded (max 7-8 guests per boat)  and you can enjoy the waves without crowds.
