13 Feb Malibu Popoyo: A Day in the Life

If you’re considering a surf trip to our Popoyo surf resort, Malibu Popoyo, you’re probably wondering how a day here compares to other resorts in the area and around the world.

Begin your day early (if you want), hunting for waves.

At our Popoyo surf resort, surfer guests rise with the sun to make the most of every day. Imagine waking at the crack of dawn to the sound of the Pacific Ocean crashing against the shoreline just outside your window. You crawl out of bed and make your way to La Cantina for a cup of Central America’s finest coffee, before climbing into one of our surf explorer vehicles on the hunt for waves. You pull up to Popoyo reef after a quick five-minute drive to find perfect a-frames peeling down the reef. You surf until your arms are too weary to paddle another stroke, and So, you head back to our Popoyo surf resort for a healthy and hardy breakfast.

Just like all surf trips are not created equal, neither or all surf travelers. Often, two groups on the same trip are looking for different things out of their surf trip, even beyond the stark contrast of beginner and experienced surfers.

We’ll take you to the waves you desire, paddle out with you, and guide you in the water. If you’re looking for performance reef break, we’ll head to Popoyo reef.
