Surfside Grappler Escapes


We’re thrilled to have you join us for an unforgettable stay, surf, and training experience in Playa Venao, Panama! Welcome to the inaugural Surfside Grappler Getaway. Over the course of six nights, seven days you’ll journey from the city to the serene and remote surf haven of Playa Venao, where lush jungles meet the ocean. After spending a night in Panama City, we’ll dive into five full incredible days immersed in nature, enjoying the waves and training on the mats. Playa Venao is celebrated for its consistent beach breaks, featuring a safe sandy bottom and waves that cater to both beginners and seasoned surfers, all just steps from the camp. Our high profile guest instructor will lead five x 2 hour seminars in the air conditioned beachfront gym, along with open mats, local classes, yoga sessions, mobility exercises, and more. Our goal is to strengthen connections, inspire positive transformations, and leave everyone with a little bit of that ocean energy in their souls.

Although I'm fairly inexperienced, I really felt safe and comfortable with the professional BJJ and Surf coaches. I also enjoyed the Yoga and Animal Flow classes.
