Why do we have fixed arrival dates at Lapoint?
February 3, 2025Planning a surf trip? At Lapoint, we do things a little differently—starting with our fixed arrival days. Instead of offering open arrival schedules, we run our surf camps on a weekly cycle. Why? Because it makes your surf experience better in every way! From structured learning to a seamless setup and a built-in community, arriving together sets you up for success. Here are the three main reasons why.
Have you ever wondered why we have fixed arrival days at Lapoint? We get it—flexibility is nice. But when it comes to learning to surf, structure is key. That’s why our surf programs run on a set weekly schedule. Here’s why it makes your trip better:
1. Progression that actually sticks
Surfing isn’t something you just “pick up.” It takes consistency, repetition, and the right coaching at the right time. Our programs are designed to move step by step, with each session building on the last. You’ll learn in the right order, at the right pace, without missing key fundamentals. When you arrive midweek, you’re either playing catch-up or waiting for others to catch up with you. Neither helps your surfing.
2. A smoother experience every step of the way
When everyone arrives at the same time, everything at camp runs like a well-oiled machine. Everything is planned from your airport pickup to surf lessons, meals, and day trips so you get the best possible experience without the stress of last-minute changes. Our crew isn’t just trying to fit you into a schedule—we’ve set everything up to make sure you can fully relax, focus on surfing, and just enjoy the experience.
3. A real surf community from day one
When you’re all starting together, you’re not just joining a surf camp—you’re becoming part of a crew. No matter if you're travelling together with friends or solo. You’ll get to know your fellow surfers and our team from the very first night, sharing waves, meals, and stories throughout the week. Whether it’s a surf session, a sunset hangout, or an impromptu dance-off at the bar, these moments make a trip unforgettable. And it’s not just about the other guests—our staff is fully present, ensuring you feel welcome, connected, and part of the Lapoint family from day one.
Why structure is key when learning to surf:
No missing key lessons: Every day builds on the previous one.
Everything is synced: Airport pickups, meals, surf sessions, and social events run smoothly.
More time to focus on surfing: No logistics stress—just good vibes and great waves.
Instant friendships: You’re not just joining a camp; you’re joining a crew.
This isn’t just about keeping things organized—it’s about giving you the best chance to improve hassle-free with a community that’s all in it together. That’s why we do it this way. And it works!
