Your deposit is non-refundable. Your deposit is transferable to another person for the same retreat subject to approval. We reserve the right to cancel the trip if it does not meet minimum registration. It is highly unlikely this will happen, but if it does, your payment is refunded in full. We reserve the right to determine if you are a good fit for this trip (if not, your deposit will be refunded in full).

You must have a valid passport to travel to Panama. Please check your passport expiration date and make sure it is valid for at least 3 months after the end date of your retreat. Currently, there are no COVID testing or vaccination requirements to enter Beach Break Surf Camp or Panama. See more detailed info here: https://pa.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information/ We will keep you posted if this changes prior to your retreat. However, registrants are personally responsible for complying to local laws, at their own expense.

The purchase of travel insurance is required for this trip.You are free to select your own policy provider. We have a relationship with Kayleigh at We Shell Travel. You can contact Kayleigh at kayleighshelltravel@gmail.com for a quote and are not obligated to use Kayleigh's services, but will be required to provide proof of insurance before our retreat. Most policies protect you against potential trip delays or cancellations due to airline issues, family emergencies, illness, injury, etc. The travel insurance will also demonstrate to the host country that you are able to pay for any emergency services which may be necessary during your stay. We strongly encourage you to speak with a travel insurance agent to discuss your specific coverage needs, and to clear up any questions you may have relative to travel insurance coverage, including questions about COVID-19. Please make sure you purchase a plan that includes coverage for COVID-19 related trip cancellations and trip interruptions as not all do.

No experience is necessary for this course. Just come with a focused and open mind to learn the techniques that could keep you safe during a big wipeout.

If flying from Canada or USA, search first for round trip tickets to major hubs that fly direct to Panama City (Houston, Miami, Newark, Denver). Then search for flights from that major hub, round trip to Panama. You may find that buying two separate round trip tickets will be far cheaper than the airline coordinating your layover flight to Panama!

When you arrive to PTY, please grab a simple airport taxi from the kiosk located after leaving customs. A one person trip is $30. We are also happy to help set up transportation through the hotel for the same $30 charge if you'd like. Once you arrive at The Executive, you can check into your hotel room, get settled and if the timing works, join the group for dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Again, we’ve got you covered! We've arranged for a coach bus to take our group from Panama City to Beach Break Surf Camp. The ride is 5 hours from city-to-sea, but it's worth it! We will stop 2x for bathroom/snack breaks along the way. The same coach bus will take the group back to The Executive Hotel after the retreat.

You bet we can! Gluten free/dairy free. Vegan, Vegetarian, Grain free. Just let us know. We’ve got you covered. If you or your family have allergies, please make sure you let us know!
