Description
We are a surf club, located in front of Piscinas beach, part of the chain of beaches in Lobitos. It's a great surf location, Piscinas has waves almost all year round and is one of the most visited beaches by local and international surfers . Also, because currently we are the only ones that offer this kind of service at this beach there is lots of potential here.
Our Club has a restaurant, terrace, car camping and campfires .
Our mission is to provide quality service and all the tools so that surfers can focus on surfing and having fun in the process.
Workawayers will have the opportunity to get some waves and learn about the surfing culture of Peru.
Lobitos is a fisherman's village, located in the desert and the place was a military base. This creates a special atmosphere that attracts artists, surfers and people who likes nature and adventure from all over the world, but it still has a quiet vibe.
Somos un surf club ubicados frente al mar en la Playa Piscinas, parte de la cadena de playas que constituye Lobitos. Su ubicación es estratégica, ya que Piscinas es una de las playas más visitadas por tablistas nacionales e internacionales. Así mismo, porque en la actualidad somos los únicos que ofrecemos este tipo de servicio en dicha playa, hay mucho potencial para desarrollar!
El club cuenta con un restaurante, terraza, zona de campamento y fogatas.
Nuestra misión es ofrecer un servicio de calidad y todas las herramientas para que el tablista pueda concentrarse en correr olas y divertirse en el proceso.
Los voluntarios también contarán con la oportunidad de surfear y conocer el estilo de vida de la costa norte del país.
Lobitos es un pueblo de pescadores situado en el desierto. El club está construido en las ruinas de lo que fue una base militar y a pesar que el pueblito es visitado por artistas, surfistas, y gente de todo el mundo que busca la naturaleza, sigue manteniendo una atmósfera muy tranquila.Types of help and learning opportunities

I would definitely recomend you to have him as a workawayer.
This is the best place where you can have a workaway stay. Simple but effective organisation of the jobs (very easy btw) and the more you want to do the better.
Apart the amazing location, the people that I met and worked here are just one of the best that I met traveling.
Lots of love for all the gang🫶🏻

I definitely recommend this workaday and I miss it already :kissing_heart:
At first they could look a bit shy, but once you get to know them, you will see they have a great sense of humor and with that, and their easy way of going they became an important asset to our team. Do not hesitate on getting them.
We stayed there for longer than expected (4 instead of 2 weeks) during "off" season. Very hard to leave this unique oasis place... We were sincerely glad to help making this place even better with a few small projects!
Very good energy in between all the volunteers & Owners Johan, Santi, Koki & clients! Environment is really amazing and… read more
