“My happy place! Amazing camp, people, surf and food”

Rise Up is absolutely amazing! There is everything you need, as a guest you don’t have to think about anything, can completely switch off. The rooms are spacious, the beds comfortable and bathrooms are also nice (even the cold showers are totally fine what I did not expect). I like that rooms get cleaned more than once a day.
The surf instructors do a great job. They are motivated and love seeing people progressing. I especially liked the video analysis but also theory classes were very helpful and should not be missed. There is a wide choice of different surf boards and the instructors always find a suitable board for you.
I also liked the excursions/activities. The boat trip was my favourite.
Food was great! And there are 5 meals/day, so also people who are always hungry like me will be happy.
All staff is extremely friendly, from transfer, housekeeping, management…
As a guest of Rise Up Camp you really feel being part of a family. Thank you for this wonderful time I got to spend with you!

“You will leave with a full heart <3″

I love traveling but I have always loved my home more than anywhere I’ve ever been… until now. This was hands down the best vacation of my life. I know this because instead of being so excited to get home and sleep in my own bed, I cried as I hugged everyone goodbye. It was that magical of a week. If you want to learn to surf, I mean really LEARN, Rise Up Surf Camp is your place. And if you are a yogi who wants to learn how to surf, you will cry as you hug everyone goodbye.

“Fantastic surf and yoga combo”

This is about as all-inclusive as a surf camp gets. Transportation, food and drinks, yoga and surfing without any need to pay for anything else except tips for the staff. Chinandega is relatively remote and there aren’t a lot of shopping options if that’s your thing the weekly Leon tour or staying there before or after is your best bet. No internet at the resort but it’s very cheap to buy at the airport directly from the Claro or Movistar dealer. Coverage at the resort is good but ask the owners which one to use as this can change – it’s very cheap 8 days and 1G cost $10usd – much better than roaming. The surf is great and totally uncrowned. The beginner lessons are excellent and way better than any others I have seen to get you started surfing with a very fun and supportive atmosphere. While the general age is 25+/- 5 years there are people in their 50-60s as well

“A paradise – Best place to learn to surf”

Simply wow. I came to Rise Up for 10 days to improve my surfing and I went home a completely different surfer. The instruction is unparalleled. It’s not just that the coaches are good in the water, they also do video analysis, ‘surf theory’ classes – which were beyond helpful- and even paddling and duck diving lessons. The staff exudes positivity and warmth and it was just a joy being there. Rise up is great if you want to be independent and do your own thing, and also if you want to be welcomed into group activities like boat trips, horseback riding and sunsets at the point. The vibe is so relaxed and comfortable. ALSO – i have to mention the Yoga. I’ve been practicing yoga for 12 years and never expect much from vacation classes but Georgie was one of the best yoga instructors I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Highly recommend doing the daily yoga class while you’re there as it’s excellent for all levels and the perfect counterbalance to surfing.
