Mauka Lodge was an amazing camp for improving my SUP surfing. I went in knowing how to stand on a board on a wave thinking it was surfing, and left a real surfer. Tiago does a great job coaching, and gets you to the right surf spot for the conditions.
The lodge is a cozy house just a little bit outside of Ericeira, which can be reached by car or Uber. One can find lots of delicious food and some nightlife in town, and Tiago was 10 for 10 on recommendations.
I cannot stress enough that anyone who enjoys SUP surf should go to this camp!

Aloha. A SUP retreat with 5/5* reviews only? YES, this is possible. Stop looking around, book your next retreat at Mauka! Because: it is personal, you train in a small group of 5 (with people from all over the world), Tiago is a great SUPer and coach, you have world class surf (for the bros, not the pros only), they have local knowledge of the spots (no crowds), you will learn a lot, you will find new friends (for life?), great food, great variation of boards and paddles .…. I’m a happy repeater and come back every year. Thanks Tiago. Keep up the spirit of Paddle Surfing. Mahalo.
PS: ok, the water temperature in Costa Rica is more pleasant. But they have huge crocs

This week exceeded my expectations. The Lodge is Homey and comfortable. Tiago is a Great Coach who quickly identified the things I need to work on and provided the techniques to allow me to improve my skills. I look forward to mastering them and returning to learn more. The participants for our week quickly turned into a group of friends. The weather conditions were not ideal, but Tiago knew the area and where to go so we could get the most out of each day.

Best sport nature and surfing trip there can be! A perfect combination of professional guidance, warm human attitude, love of the sea, love of nature, understanding of the human soul. Tiago He is an exceptional person who does everything to make his guests feel good. He takes care of every detail: where to surf, where to eat, where to travel, what things to improve in surfing and much more. He photographs each and every surfer, shows him what needs to be improved, explains professionally, and within a week you learn new and very important things. Without such professional guidance, it is impossible to get better at surfing. The place we stayed was a combination of comfort, well-being, nature, quiet and the atmosphere of a beautiful village. Our teammates were just great, and we found friends for life. No doubt we will return to Mauka Lodge again and hopefully it will happen very soon! Thank you dear Tiago for
🙏 everything you did for us

It took me a couple of days to comprehand the meaning of the last week in Tiago's lodge.
I came with little knowledge, my spouse surf on the sup and i wanted to join him but unlike the rest of the group, i dont surf on sup. Tiago organized for me the best surf coach i could ask for, Linardo. at the end of the week i was surfing. it was perfect, tthe lodg located at a beautiful place, the companionship was wonderful and the team, so patient and extremely profassional, to the level of perfection
i will recommend this experience to anyone who would ike to extend the limits he thoght he had. its a much deeper experience than you think it is. thank you Tiago, Linardo, Adriana who take care of us at the lodge and Antonio our very nice driver

Mauka Lodge 4/10 - 11/10 2023, I think the most exciting week of my life. A week full of emotions, laughter, adrenaline but, above all, in the company of people who I now feel are friends as if we have known each other all our lives. A real felling, created from nothing and accompanied by human emotions that I have rarely had the opportunity to experience. I sincerely thank Tiago who, in addition to being a super coach who took me by the hand and guided me step by step to overcome my physical and mental limits, turned out to be a wonderful person and an impeccable organizer, from every point of view! Life in the splendid Lodge is something precious, harmony and silence, beauty and comfort mix together in a precious mix! Thank you very much Tiago, I will do everything I can to be there again next year!!!! Diego Sellitri

Mauka lodge has been on my radar for some time to improve my SUP surfing skills. Tiago, with his method, professionalism, psychology and care bring out of you all your potential in only a week!. Tiago checks daily several beaches to choose the best place regarding your level and the best conditions for surfing. His knowledge of the spots is priceless. The boards are brand new or almost new and he has a wide range to choose to fit your needs. The lodge is a quiet perfect place with a lovely garden, the rooms and shared spaces are clean and the food is very healthy and delicious. You feel that this is not only a business is a passion and Tiago is one of the best coaches you can meet. My only regret is that it feels very short and I want to come back as soon as I can. Thanks Tiago to you and all your staff.
