We’re a global team united by a shared passion for creating unforgettable surf experiences in the world’s most incredible destinations.
“A shared obsession for surfing and a deep desire to keep progressing”
We’re Chris (from the UK) and Karen (from Switzerland), the founders of Damara Surf. Our journey started with a shared obsession for surfing and a deep desire to keep progressing—no matter how long it took or where in the world it led us. Along the way, we realised that the right coaching methodologies coupled with the right waves can completely transform your experience in the water. That’s why we created Damara Surf: a space for beginner through to advanced surfers who are serious about improving, supported by proper coaching and a thoughtful, personal approach.
Through our experiences we have curated the ultimate surf progression program delivered through our surf retreats and partnered with leading surf camps and surf resorts to provide packages and surf instructor courses at select locations across the globe.
Here’s just some of things you can expect to find across all of our locations:
For us, these surf experiences are more than just trips — they’re about helping people find joy, clarity, and confidence in their surfing journey. We’d love to share that with you.
