SURF IT. FILM IT. TAKE IT HOME.
Filmed Surf Experience in Salina Cruz
The Filmed Surf Experience in Salina Cruz combines local surf guiding with professional filming throughout the week — including land, water and drone footage, nightly video analysis and a final social media highlight reel to take the trip home with you.
More Than a Surf Trip
Some surf trips stay in your memory. This one comes home with you.
Your week is built around surfing Salina Cruz, with local guiding and professional filming capturing your sessions from land, water, and the air.
Each night, we review the footage together. And when the trip is over, you leave with the waves, barrels and moments you came for — plus a final highlight reel ready to share.
Surf it. See it. Take it home.
LOCAL SURF GUIDING
Local knowledge. The right spot at the right time.
“The difference is knowing where to go — and when to be there.”
URIEL CAMACHO
A Lifetime Surfing Salina Cruz
Local knowledge. Better timing. More time surfing.
Uriel has spent more than 30 years surfing the waves around Salina Cruz and more than 20 years guiding surfers through this coastline.
Every day starts by reading the swell, wind, tide and conditions, then choosing the spot that gives the group the best chance to score good waves.
It’s not about chasing every break. It’s about being in the right place at the right time.
This isn’t knowledge learned from a forecast app. It comes from a lifetime surfing this coastline — and knowing how Salina Cruz changes every day.
URIEL CAMACHO
Before I learned to surf, I learned to listen to the ocean.
I was nine years old when I learned to swim in the ocean, at the beach break where I grew up in Salina Cruz. Before entering the water, I would always say the same thing:
“Hola, Ola como estas?”.
I learned by playing with the ocean — swimming into waves, feeling their energy and figuring out how to move with them. One day, instead of riding over the crest, I stretched out an arm and dropped down the face. For the first time, I saw the inside of a barrel.
I had discovered bodysurfing without ever seeing anyone do it.
Years later, I found a second-hand 7’0 single-fin at a market in Tijuana. Five friends shared that one board at Punta Conejo. Five waves each. A surfing magazine was our only reference.
No coach. No internet. At first, not even wax.
We learned through wipeout after wipeout after wipeout.
More than 30 years later, those early lessons still shape the way I surf and guide. Technique matters, but surfing begins before the takeoff. It begins with reading the ocean — positioning, timing, wave selection and learning to move with its energy instead of fighting it.
I learned surfing from the ocean. That same knowledge guides every surf day.

ALEXIS & ABI
Local Surf Guides
Alex and Abi are part of the LunaCoral local surf guiding team, helping keep every session smooth, organized and focused on finding the best waves for the group.
From loading the 4×4s and moving between breaks to watching conditions and supporting each session, they help make the entire surf day flow naturally.
BEYOND SURFING
Some waves become part of your life. Some become worth protecting.
For Uriel, Salina Cruz has never been just a place to surf. It’s home.
Growing up here meant discovering these waves long before Salina Cruz became an international surf destination. Over the years, that connection has grown into something more — a responsibility to help protect the coastline that shaped his life.
Uriel has worked alongside local surfers and conservation organizations to help protect Punta Conejo and the surrounding coastline for future generations.
The same waves that taught him how to surf are the waves he now helps protect.
GUIDING BUILT AROUND THE BEST CONDITIONS
No two days in Salina Cruz are exactly the same.
The swell, wind and tide decide where we go. Instead of following a fixed schedule, we build each surf day around the conditions and the best opportunities for the group.
You focus on surfing. We take care of where, when and how to get there.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
More than three decades surfing this coastline means understanding how each break responds to swell direction, tide, wind and crowd levels.
That local knowledge helps us make better calls and put the group in the best possible place each day.
FLEXIBLE SURF DAYS
There is no rigid schedule when the ocean is in charge.
We adjust the day around the conditions — changing spots, session times or plans whenever it gives you a better chance to score.
A WEEK BUILT AROUND PERFECT WAVES
PROFESSIONAL SURF FILMING
& VIDEO ANALYSIS
You feel one thing on the wave. The camera often shows you something completely different.
Your sessions are professionally filmed throughout the week from land, water, and the air — capturing the waves, barrels and details you rarely get to see while you’re surfing.
Each night, we sit down with the footage and review your sessions together. You’ll see your surfing from a different perspective, recognize patterns and relive the best moments of the day.
At the end of the trip, you take home your footage, the sessions, plus a final social media highlight reel — that brings the week back home with you.
YOUR HOME IN SALINA CRUZ
This isn’t a hotel. It’s our home — built around surfing.
Wake up before sunrise, grab a coffee and head out for dawn patrol. Come back after hours in the water, cool off in the pool, share stories from the session and recharge before heading out again.
At the end of the day, we gather around the table for a homemade Oaxacan dinner, talk about the waves we surfed and get ready to do it all over again tomorrow.
This is what life at LunaCoral is about — surf, eat, rest, repeat.
