Some of Our surf breaks

The Boom

One of Nicaragua’s heaviest and most hollow beach breaks, “The Boom” is only a 10-minute walk away form the Rise Up Surf guesthouse.

Out Front/ Down Below

Just down the hillside from our guesthouse or “out front”, you will find a beautiful bay with sweet, mellow waves, perfect for beginners.

Aposentillo

This beginner-friendly spot has easy-going, good, green-face waves to learn on. It is just a few minutes walk along the beach from our property.

The Point

This “rippable” left-hand point break is just 10-minutes away by boat.

Nahualapa

A short drive from our property, this spectacular bay picks up a lot of swell and offers right and left hand breaks, which suit all levels.

Jiquilillo

These punchy sand bars are a 30-minutes drive away. Both inside and outside sand bars offer great waves for every level.

“A Paradise – The 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.

“Awesome Vacation!”

Enjoyed a wonderful stay at Rise Up in December. From start to finish I loved the experience and can’t say enough good things about the Rise Up “family” who go above and beyond to take care of every detail. I agree with all the other reviewers about the beauty and peacefulness of the setting, the fresh healthy meals, great excursions, and wonderful yoga classes in a beautiful outdoor studio next to the ocean. Surfers of all levels can have a great experience and there are many beaches and breaks within a short distance. Even as a complete beginner I was able to enjoy daily lessons and excellent instruction that allowed to me to make progress in a short period of time.
The energy, enthusiasm and good humor of the instructors and staff creates a friendly and fun atmosphere. I also loved the family style meals on the patio which allow guests and staff to get to know each other over the course of the week.
Hoping to return very soon!

“Amazing!”

Rise Up is amazing! I just got back from a week of surf and yoga. The accommodations are great and surrounded by amazing scenery. The meals were amazing and they catered to any dietary issues without hesitation. The surf instructors were knowledgeable and helpful, but also taught us to be more independent. Everything was really easy and hassle-free, and the staff were always ready to help make the trip even better.
