SURF
Verdad Nicaragua
Thanks to a consistent off-shore wind, Verdad has a reliable, uncrowded beach break at Playa Escameca from early November through September. That means surfers of all levels can enjoy riding the waves right below our hillside perch almost all year-round. And for those who prefer a faster wave, Playa Yankee, another uncrowded surf break, is just one cove over to the north. The south side of Yankee is accessible on foot or you can drive to the northern access point.
You’ll never find a crowded line-up anywhere around Verdad Nicaragua - one of the perks of being truly off the beaten path!

SAND BAR SURF SCHOOL AT VERDAD
Sand Bar at Verdad, a group of Nicaraguan surf coaches with a combined 40 plus years of experience coaching, direct all of our surf lessons. Their surf pros employ a specialized teaching program which guides you toward improving your skills no matter what level of surfing you start at.
Our Sand Bar team is a independent locally owned surf school. Wesley and Tito have carefully chosen and trained the other coaches at Verdad. They all use the personalized and structured program that Wes and Tito created which includes individual assessment and daily video review and analysis in every session. The coach to student ratio is usually 1:1, but we never have more than 8 people in a group with four coaches, so as never to have more than two people per coach.
