Description
I am Tato, I am the owner of this Surf Camp & School, I have been surfing since I was a kid and I started with the surf school nearly 25 years ago. Surfing is my passion and it became part of me and my family`s life. I live with my 2 kids Felipe (14) and Baltasar (9) and they love surfing too.
It is sited Punta del Este, one of the best places of Uruguay for surfing, bodyboarding, paddleboarding, relaxing and having a good time. The surf camp is situated in barra de Maldonado, one block away from a natural wetland and near the best beaches of La Barra. There is both a surf shop and a surf school: the shop is in La Barra and the surf school spot is 1 kilometre away, at Playa Brava Parada 30.
