Urcia Surf School (Huanchaco, Peru)

ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

The Urcia family surf school is based in their home town, the UNESCO World Surfing Reserve of Huanchaco, Peru. Surfing originated in Huanchaco with traditional reed boats, Caballitos de Totora. On days off from surfing you can take a caballito tour and even fish and prepare your own ceviche. Learn more about caballitos with us.

Our surf school is located in front of El Helio beach in Huanchaco (known locally as “El Elio”), where you can always count on good surfing conditions.

The three Urcia brothers; John, Giancarlos and Juninho, have excelled in surfing competitions since they were young. They opened their first surf school together 17 years ago.

Giancarlos now manages a surf school in California and Juninho is travelling around the world competing in the World Surf League Qualification Tour.

John specialized in training Juninho and other professional surfers.

John continues to share his many years of surf experience and coaching in Huanchaco at Urcia Surf School.
