Arica Surf Experience

Arica Surf Experience is a small surf school in Arica, in the far north of Chile, run by Miguel Maturana, an ISA-certified coach. Lessons are given in Spanish and English, with all equipment included: board, wetsuit and accessories.

The school is based at El Buey, a wave it describes as one of the most consistent in South America, and at Las Machas, a calmer bay where stand up paddle is also taught. Beginners can aim to catch their first wave in their very first session.

The coach picks clients up at their accommodation and drives them to the best wave of the day. Drone photo and video of the session is offered as an option.
