Dave, John, Chilo and the entire staff at GreenSurf worked very hard to make sure that this was a great trip. Starting with the pick up at the airport (at 3:30 am) with no hassles, and the short drive to the property, we took quick naps (A/C in the rooms works great!) and then hit the ocean. Each day brought... More

As I said in my previous review, I was definitely going back... and I did. Just like the first time, Dave and Jon were amazing hosts. I got to surf a ton of new breaks I didn't get to the first time around and enjoyed each and every one of them. It was "holy week" for the locals and the... More

Good value, rare opportunity to experience authentic Nicaraguan culture. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect: GreenSurf is located in the town of El Transito, a small fishing village well off the beaten path of tourism. Supplies, services such as electric, water, sewer, postal, telephone are not readily available. However friendliness, honesty more than make up for the lack of... More

Dave and Jon were great hosts and surf guides. Their property is almost finished being touched up but the tons of palm trees, hammocks and sunsets were all that we're needed. Meals were always aplenty along with beach time. After traveling for 4 months and also working hard for yeas, this was a great reprieve. El Transito and Greensurf is... More

i happily spent days just lazing on the hammocks, walking the amazing beach, swimming in the tidal pools, watching sunsets and waiting for Chilo's amazing food. After spending 6 weeks in Nicaragua, i can easily say her cooking is the best i've had. Beg her to make her special potato salad with eggs and tomatoes - delicious! Rooms are comfy... More

This place was, hands down, the best surf camp I've ever been. Jon and Dave go out of their way to customize the trip for their clients. I haven't surfed regularly for 8 years so the guys took extra care to take me to some more forgiving breaks so that I wouldn't get the crap pounded out of me. The... More

First off, two girls traveling alone is always a crapshoot with not knowing what we were going to be getting ourselves into... but luckily i can say, it could not have been better. Dave and John were fantastic - two really chill guys that knew what we were there for and completely took care of everything we needed. I felt... More

Greensurf is a well run and very accomodating surf camp. I got incredible waves almost everyday for ten days and I was able to work out a great meal plan which met my picky standards beautifully. Chilo the cook is amazing! Our guides Dave and John were also cool guys to hang out with as well as wonderful guides. Their... More

I can't say enough good things about the Green Surf Nicaragua staff. These guys went above and beyond every single day to make this the best surf trip of my life. My friends and I got incredible surf pictures of professional quality because Dave patiently documented every session even if it meant he didn't get a chance to paddle out.... More

I've travelled everywhere to surf and this was easily the best trip of my life. It was my second time with the Greensurf crew, and for good reason. They have the place totally wired. There are great waves out front but they know where to take you when the surf gets even better. The amenities are great, the surf is... More
