While we strive to keep to our itinerary so that you can plan for your trip, the itinerary and times are subject to change at the discretion of the workshop staff & instructors.  Surf & SUP schedules are also dependent on weather and surf reports, and could be cancelled and replaced with other activities. This allows us to be spontaneous during our workshops, with so many amazing photo & wellness opportunities that will arise!
