Small groups, individual attention
Una Ola provides personalized custom surf camps rather than scheduled camps on fixed dates. You choose the length and timing of your stay instead of fitting a predetermined Saturday-to-Saturday program.
Camps are intentionally intimate, typically with two to four surfers. The small-group setting helps keep instruction focused on each guest's needs and progression.
Hands-on and progressive
Learn with support, then grow more independent
Beginner Surf Camp is for guests with little or no surfing experience who need direct help with the fundamentals. Instruction progresses with the individual rather than promising mastery on a fixed timetable.
The goal is to build understanding, confidence and increasing independence in the water.

A flexible surf rhythm
Learn to Surf at Your Own Pace

Whether you're visiting for a week or planning a longer stay, we'll help create a surf camp that fits your goals and schedule.
Progress and shared experience
Make each success part of the learning process
Personal attention leaves room for individual progress while the small-group setting keeps the surf experience shared and encouraging.
