The Barrel Clinic with Tim Bisso

August 10–17, 2025
For advanced surfers only

Perfect Your Barrel Riding Skills

This 7-day coaching clinic is built for surfers who already surf well—but want to improve their barrel riding abilities on lefts and rights. 

Led by pro surfer Tim Bisso, you’ll train at one of the best beach breaks in the world with a program focused on:

  • Positioning + Line Selection

  • Stalling Techniques

  • Compression & Body Mechanics

  • Exit Strategy 

  • Wave Reading & Selection

  • Confidence in hollow waves 

This is not a beginner or intermediate surf coaching trip. It's for surfers confident in overhead surf and ready to fine-tune their tube riding under direct pro-level guidance.

What’s Included: 

  • 7 nights private or shared accommodation (AC, STARLINK WiFi, housekeeping)

  • 1 to 2 surf sessions daily at The Boom

  • Daily video analysis + feedback from Tim IN and OUT of the water

  • Optional daily yoga

  • 3 delicious meals daily + coffee bar

  • Fresh smoothies and juices

  • Video package

  • Airport shuttle (conditions apply)

What’s Not Included: 

  • Flights to and from Managua

  • Travel/medical insurance 

  • Massages and alcoholic beverages

  • Airport shuttles outside of arranged times 

Things to Know:

  • Every morning session will be at sunrise which is around 5 am here

  • Often the wind turns on shore between 8-11 am 

  • We are always hoping for an afternoon storm to hopefully get a second session which is likely in the rainy season

  • Amaru is 4 hours away from the airport so bring snacks from the airport BEFORE you get to Managua as there isn't much in MGA -  its a journey but very worth it and your driver can stop at a gas station if need be.

  • There can be two airport shuttle times - usually either 2pm or 9pm so we will coordinate everyone's flights so hopefully everyone arrives at the same time.

  • The massages at amaru are AMAZING 

  • Amaru is an incredible, secluded and quiet resort with great community nights and great food

  • We are excited for the first ever barrel clinic!
