10 Must-Have Items to Pack for a Surf Trip to Nicaragua

 

 

 

 

 

 

When it comes to surfing in Nicaragua, having the right gear is crucial. At Los Clavos Surf Camp, we offer all-inclusive surf vacations that include all the gear you need, so you don't have to worry about bringing your own surfboard or fins. 

 

However, if you prefer to bring your own surfboard make sure to pack them securely for the journey and check airlines policies not to be disappointed at the counter ! 

 

We know that Iberia is pretty helpful and sometimes  American Airlines and  Delta are more picky and you have to pay for extra luggage.

Rashguards and board shorts are essential for sun protection and to avoid irritation from the board's wax. In North Nicaragua, the water is warm all year round, so you don't need to pack a wetsuit. With the right surf gear, you'll be ready to catch some waves in Nicaragua!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Surfing in Nicaragua often means spending long hours in the sun, so it's important to protect your skin and eyes. Make sure to pack sunscreen with at least SPF 60 to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

 

Sunglasses with UV protection are also essential to shield your eyes from the bright sunlight reflecting off the water.

 

A sun hat or cap can also provide extra protection for your face and neck. Additionally, many surfers prefer to use zinc oxide on their face for added protection against the sun's rays.

 

Lastly, don't forget to pack after-sun lotion to soothe your skin after a day in the sun. With proper sun protection, including zinc oxide for the face, you can enjoy surfing in Nicaragua without worrying about sun damage.

 

 

Nicaragua is a tropical country, and while this brings many benefits, it also means there are lots of insects around. Mosquitoes and sand flies can be particularly annoying, so it's important to bring insect repellent to protect yourself.
