The camp

8 days / 7 nights

The experience will include personalized on-water coaching, individual progression goals, wave positioning and selection, connecting Chicama’s different sections, pumping and efficiency, turning technique, Foil Drive power management, equipment setup and tuning, board, foil and mast selection, battery strategy, video analysis and individual feedback throughout the week.

The ocean will ultimately determine our schedule. When conditions are exceptional, maximizing water time will be the priority.

Hosted at Chicama Boutique Hotel in Peru, the program combines accommodations, meals, coaching, local logistics, on-water support, and media services into one seamless experience.

“Limited to just 10 Foil Drive riders, The Paul Cooper Chicama Experience is designed to provide personalized attention, maximize progression and give each guest the opportunity to experience Chicama at its fullest.”

Arrive at the Trujillo, Peru airport, slip into one of our van shuttles and let the fun begin! The transport to get to Trujillo is not included but we can help you plan and strategize your travel arrangements to get there.

Sunday morning arrival. Sunday afternoon departure.
