About your trip

We are excited to be hosting our paddle surf retreat in Tofino, and in September, one of the best surf months of the year. Tofino is an ideal location for our camp with its numerous sand beach breaks and gentle conditions perfect for learning to paddle surf. Our camp is hosted at Rancho Tofino, a private and laid back location and steps away from one of the best surf breaks and sunset locations at Cox Bay. Cath and Zak built the Rancho for families and surfers alike with forest views from every room, a 65 inch TV for video coaching, heated floors and a wood stove. The space is spacious and provides a comfortable and warm base camp for our week of paddle surfing, yoga, and coaching. Delicious meals with local seafood and fresh baking are prepared in house and with love by Chef Jenni Bunyan. Each night our day will wrap with a shared meal around the custom wood table as we reflect on good times and our great day sharing waves. 

Experience Level

This is a learn to paddle surf camp so you do not need any prior surfing experience. You do require flatwater paddling experience as this is not a learn to sup retreat. If you do have paddle surf experience this is a great week to build on that experience and challenge yourself with more intermediate surf conditions. Many people love this retreat so much they just keep coming back for the surf, community and great food. 

Cancellation Policy

For this year full payment is due at the time of booking. Cancellation less than 30 days prior to the first day of the trip will result in the full loss of the trip fee.  Please purchase travel insurance to secure protection for your trip in case you need to cancel for any reason including medical.
