The Boom is a wave on the north Pacific coast of Nicaragua. This A frame barrel machine should be on the top of your bucket list! It is a challenging wave but when you score that Boom Barrel - your life will change! 

For less experienced surfers the area offers a variety of surf spots, from offshore sand bars to estuary point breaks. There really is something for every experience level. Best part? It frequents fewer people than the southern districts of Nicaragua. 

Nicaragua waves will challenge you however there are plenty of spots to choose from that will fit any surf level.  Beginning surfers welcome and there is plenty to do if you are a non-surfer. Check out the packages below!

Amaru is a gorgeous resort with incredible ocean views, spacious pool, epic surf and open hearted staff located in Central America. Coming to a third world country is an amazing cultural experience that you will never forget and which will continue to grow your interpersonal relationships and world view however please understand and agree to the following:

No Hot Showers:  No hot water in Central America is common. Don't worry, the 80 degree ocean water and humidity will be enough heat! 

English will be the second language, or not understood: Please be aware that we are spending our time in a Spanish speaking country where most people know little or no english. The Staff at Amaru are both native english speakers and Nicaraguan locals. You may need to speak slowly and do not be surprised if they understand but respond back only in Spanish. This is a great opportunity to work on your Spanish! And if all else fails you can always go to the English speaking staff for assistance.

Closest Medical Facilities: There is a small clinic in the nearby village, a new hospital an hour away or more hospitals in Managua (3.5-4hrs)

Don’t like long journeys?

Depending on where you are departing from and if your flight has layovers, the journey may be long but WORTH IT. If you know you like to break up your travel or you do not want a long travel day, I suggest arriving the day before (May 19th) to spend the night at a hotel in Managua.  Recommendations in info packet. You will then meet us back at the airport to take a morning shuttle to the lodge. If you choose this option, you will arrive at the lodge before the sunsets and if wind is working, even have an opportunity to surf into the sunset while we wait for our other fellow retreat guests to arrive just in time for dinner.

When you register you will get an info packet with more details
