An All Inclusive West Coast Paddle Surf Experience in Tofino.
We are excited to be hosting our paddle surf retreat in the surfing capital of Canada, Tofino and during September, one of the best surf months of the year. Tofino is an ideal location for our camp with its numerous sand beach breaks and gentle conditions perfect for learning to paddle surf. Don’t worry if your already have some paddle surfing experience as there will be waves of all levels for everyone.
Our camp is hosted at Rancho Tofino, a private and laid back location and steps away from one of the best surf breaks and sunset locations at Cox Bay. Cath and Zak built the Rancho for families and surfers alike with forest views from every room, a 65 inch TV for video coaching, heated floors and a wood stove. The space is spacious and provides a comfortable and warm base camp for our week of paddle surfing, yoga, and coaching. Delicious meals with local seafood and fresh baking are prepared in house and with love by Chef Jenni Bunyan. Each night our day will wrap with a shared meal around the custom wood table as we reflect on good times and our great day sharing waves.
Our days will begin with yoga and morning movement followed by a delicious and energizing breakfast before heading out for our daily surf. Depending on conditions we may surf twice a day with a number of the sessions being video recorded so coaches can provide critical feedback that you will carry with you into your next session. Beyond the surfing we will have time to enjoy rainforest hikes, family style dinners, world famous sunsets and time for exploring the quaint fishing village of Tofino. With lots of laughs and great connections with good people you will not want to leave the magic of the West Coast of Vancouver Island. We are really excited to welcome you into our paddle surfing family here in Tofino.

Tour Reviews
This is a fantastic all-inclusive SUP surf retreat in Tofino. With the excellent coaching team both out on the water and the daily video analysis sessions you will see a big improvement in your skills over the course of the 5-day camp. The comfortable accommodations at Rancho Tofino are ideal for surfing groups and we were so very well fed by our awesome Chef! Joining together with a group of like minded fun SUP surfers there was continuous laughter and encouragement throughout the camp. This is a terrific opportunity to connect with great people in the SUP surf community, build on your skills and relax in a fun friendly environment.
I have attended Norm’s surf camp in Tofino 2 years in a row now and plan to attend a third. The coaching is phenomenal, there are always waves that are perfect for learning to surf and improve your surfing skills. The group environment is supportive and fun. I would come back for the food alone-it’s healthy but so delicious.
What an amazing experience this was! Great surfing conditions on a variety of beautiful surf breaks and superb coaching made for a real progression in my SUP surfing abilities! The accommodations at Rancho Tofino were ideal for relaxing and recuperating between surf sessions. The food provided by our own personal chef was next level healthy and delicious! Surf, eat, sleep, repeat! Ill be back!
