A Surftrip to Chile, no matter your level
Think you’re not “ready” for a surftrip to Chile? Think again. #Chileax is our 7-day surfholiday in Chile designed for every surf level – from whitewash warriors to confident intermediates looking to fine-tune their skills.
This surf trip to Chile is perfect for:
- Motivated beginners (surf level 1+)
- Intermediates who want to improve with coaching
- Solo travelers, surf buddies, or anyone ready to ride and roam
#Chileax is for anyone who wants to surf better, smile more, and fall in love with Chile.
Whether you’re still figuring out positioning or looking to read the lineup like a local, you’ll get personalized coaching in and out of the water. And the vibe? Supportive, never pushy. This trip is about surfing better, having fun, and experiencing the real Chile – not performance pressure.
We surf once a day with focused coaching, so there’s still plenty of time to chill, soak in the scenery, explore the coast or dive into a book.
Waves at your doorstep
After leaving Santiago behind, we spend our days by the ocean.
Homebase is one of Chile’s most iconic surf spots – a wave that dishes up something for everyone: mellow walls, steep sections, the occasional cheeky barrel. But if the swell shifts, so do we. With a local guide by our side and surf coach Angie who knows the coast like the back of her hand, we’ll always find something surfable (and beautiful).
You’ll enjoy daily surfcoaching sessions, our experienced coaches are there to level up your surfing.
Alongside us, our local friends will make sure you experience the real Chile – from secret viewpoints to local flavours – all with the Pacific Ocean as your daily backdrop.
About Chile
Chile is one of the longest countries on the planet, with over 4.300km of coastline. It is located on the Humboldt current, the cold water current of the south-east pacific ocean. You can imagine how many waves break along this coastline, featuring mountain areas in the South, the central zone and the Atacama desert in the North.
Chile’s culture and people are incredible. You can find some cumbia played pretty much everywhere, get invited for a pisco sour (local drink) by a stranger and enjoy an empanada (chilean pastry) with an endless view of the ocean.
Chile's wavevs
Chile really has it all when it comes to waves. There are plenty of waves to be found all along Chile’s long coast.
The South of the country features endless left pointbreaks while the Central region offers loads of different beachbreaks. Heading towards the Atacama desert you will find deserted waves with warmer water and stunning desert views.
Chile's climate
Chile in March is beautiful. Mild southern hemispheric weather awaits you in March. Outside temperatures can be anything between 15 -25 ºC. During the nights however the temperature drops to sometimes aound 10ºC, bring warm socks for sure.
At this time of the year you have to be prepared for everything: warm days on the beach, chilly nights and foggy mornings.
Water temperatures depend on where you go. In the central region expect the water to be around 15ºC at this time of the year. With a solid 4.3mm wetsuit and 3mm booties you should be prepared for every wave on this trip.
We care about sustainability on our trips.
We strive to make our surf trips sustainable by working with local partners, promoting socio-cultural exchange, and minimizing our environmental impact.
We collaborate with local surf schools to support the local economy, engage in community events to foster cultural understanding, and ensure we leave every location better than we found it. We offset our carbon footprint through Sustainable Travel International and plant a tree for each participant at our headquarters in Fuerteventura, creating a direct, positive impact on the environment.

There's more to our trip than surfing
Sure, we surf every day, but #Chileax is a surf holiday, not a bootcamp. Off the board, there’s plenty of time to explore, relax, and enjoy life on the Chilean coast.
Think horseback riding along the beach, hiking with ocean views, soaking in the hot tub while the sun goes down, sipping endless cups of coffee, and reading a good book on our terrace while the waves roll in. Add in a bonfire, some lazy beach hangs, and you’ve got yourself a real holiday.
Trip Accomodation & Food
Cozy stay & flavorful days
We’ll be based in a cozy cabaña, right by the ocean. Wake up to the sound of waves, grab coffee on the terrace, and enjoy a shared space that feels more like a surf house than a hotel.
We’ll take gender into account for shared rooms, of course.
And the food? Local and delicious. Breakfast and dinner are covered—think fresh ingredients, homemade meals, the occasional dinner out, and probably a few surprise treats along the way. Lunch is freestyle, so grab what you fancy during the day.

‘Many years ago I decided to live my life outside the box. My travels brought me to a lot of different corners of this planet, like Chile for example. I now live in Fuerteventura, where I run this small female-led surf school and the beautiful NGO NOMB Changes, spreading my love for the sport of surfing and the ocean on a daily basis.
I am an ISA level II qualified surfcoach, trained lifeguard and have over 10 years of coaching experience. I can coach in English, German and Spanish.
I believe that everyone can surf and enjoy the thrill of the waves, you just have to adopt the methods of teaching. I am looking forward to guiding you through the Pacific waves and the incredible country called Chile!
The trip is led by Angie Ringleb, ISA Level II coach, certified lifeguard, and pro surf nerd with over a decade of experience. She’s surfed all over the world, but Chile’s coast has a special place in her heart—and she’s stoked to share it with you.
‘Surftripping and exploring different places is a big part of me. Which is why I organise surf trips and share new experiences with a group of other curious surfers. Having previously lived in Chile, I feel very confident about guiding this trip and am very much looking forward to having you join me at my second home 🇨🇱 !‘ (Angie)
Joining Angie will be local surf coaches. Due to the nature of the trip, flowing with the conditions of the ocean, we will announce our local guide closer to the trip date. Having lived in Chile for years, Angie has a great network of local surfers and professionals. Our coaches might not always speak perfect English but their local waveknowlege will be unmatched.

How much do we surf on this trip?
We normally plan with one surf coaching session per day, so if you are looking for surfing all day long, this trip might not be the right one for you. However, if waves are epic, be sure that we will squeeze in the odd extra surf.
What will happen on a NOMB Surfholiday?
The Chileax surfholiday is all about catching waves and good vibes. You’ll have one surf coaching session each day to fine-tune your skills and have fun in the water. Afterward, you’ve got plenty of time to relax, kick back, or explore the amazing surroundings of Chile. It’s a perfect mix of surfing and adventure with a laid-back vibe.
Should I bring my own surfboard?
We do offer you a rental surfboard on the trip but highly recommend you to bring your own. If you have your own surfboard, please consider taking it on this trip (stuff your boardbag with your clothes). This way you won’t loose a session (or two) adjusting to a new board. Knowing your surfboard can be a real confidence booster.
