by Los Clavos 12 mars 2023
If you're planning a surf trip to Nicaragua, you're in for an adventure! With its warm waters, consistent waves, and stunning scenery, Nicaragua is a surfer's paradise.
 
But before you hit the waves, it's important to make sure you're well-equipped with the right gear. In this article, we'll share our top 10 must-have items to pack for a surf trip to Nicaragua, so you can focus on catching waves and making memories.
 
From surf gear to sun protection to other essentials, we've got you covered. So grab your suitcase and let's get packing. 
 
 
 
 

Surf gear to bring with you in 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!
 
 
 
 
 
 

Sun protection during your surf trip 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.
 
 

Insect repellent for tropical areas

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.
 
You can also bring long-sleeved shirts and pants to cover up and reduce the amount of skin exposed to bites. With insect repellent and the right clothing, you can enjoy your surf vacation in Nicaragua without being bothered by pesky insects.
 
 
 

Other essentials to bring in your suitcase in Nicaragua

Aside from surf gear and sun protection, there are a few other essentials that you should consider packing for your surf trip to Nicaragua.
 
First, a reusable water bottle is a must-have to stay hydrated throughout the day.
 
In addition, a good book or e-reader can provide entertainment during downtime between surf sessions or while relaxing in hammocks.
 
A small first-aid kit with bandages, antiseptic, and pain relievers can also come in handy for any minor injuries or ailments.
 
Finally, a dry bag can be useful for keeping your valuables and electronics safe and dry while out on the water. With these other essentials, you'll be fully prepared for a successful and enjoyable surf vacation in Nicaragua.
