7-Days of Power Surf Training in the best waves of the World
Surfing Peru's longest left hander
Stay by the sea facing a less known left hand point break
Learn the fundamentals behind all surf manoeuvres
Practice on land and repeat in the water

Chicama is one of the most unique surf destinations in the world, home to an extraordinarily long, peeling left-hander that gives you the time and space to truly work on your surfing.

This is left-hander paradise. Long, open walls allow you to link turn after turn, experiment with different lines, and repeat movements in a way that few waves make possible. Combined with video analysis and land-based training, Chicama creates one of the most effective environments we’ve found for accelerating surfing progression.

The focus of the week is not simply to surf more, but to surf with intention. Each day combines land-based training, including surf-specific drills and skate sessions, with coached water sessions designed to improve precision, flow, technique, and confidence.

With boat assistance helping you return quickly to the peak, you can maximize your wave count and spend more time working on the specific areas of your surfing that will make the biggest difference.

This surfing program is designed for:

You feel stuck and want to step up your game.

Waves in Chicama, in October

October is a great time to experience Chicama, with consistent south swells still reaching the coast and plenty of opportunities for long, clean sessions.

Chicama is all about length, flow, and repetition. Rather than raw power, the focus is on linking sections, refining your lines, and spending more time actually surfing each wave. On the right swell, rides can stretch for hundreds of meters, creating an ideal setup for technical progression and video analysis.

Water temperatures are cool, so a 3/2 wetsuit is generally suitable, while a 4/3 can be a good option if you tend to feel the cold or plan on spending long hours in the water.

Boat assistance helps us make the most of the point, allowing easier access back up the line and more quality waves per session. With multiple sections working depending on swell size and direction, we can adapt each session to the conditions and your level.
