Program Details

Hello my name is Narayana, I am 28 years old and I come from Germany. On my travels I discovered together with my best friend Bastian: Pichilemu, a small town by the sea 3 hours south of the capital of Chile: Santiago. Pichilemu is also known as the ‘surf mecca’ of Chile, as it is supplied with perfect waves almost all year round.

Long story short: when we were there for the first time in 2019, we made a plan to buy a property and build a house one day. I then successfully completed my degree in architecture and Basti completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter.

At the beginning of the year 2024, the time had finally come for us to fulfil our dream: we bought a small property with a small existing house on it.

We did a lot of renovation and extensions, did a lot of construction work and built a space for 10 people who are exited to learn how to surf or wanna help other people to become better surfers! Therefore we need YOUR help!! Join our surfcamp and be part of a unique experience !!

(We speak English, Spanish and German)
