1. Verify the Real Location (Google Maps)

First check: does the surf camp have a clear, real location you can find on Google Maps?

Red flags:

  • no address
  • only a vague city name

  • “we send location after payment” without reason

Trust signals:

  • a stable location listing
  • photos that match the real place
  • consistent business name

2. Read Google Reviews (Not Just Website Testimonials)

Website testimonials can be edited. Google reviews are harder to fake over time.

What to look for:

  • reviews spread across months/years
  • specific details (coaching, rooms, food, organization)
  • different nationalities
  • realistic feedback (not all “perfect”)

  • unclear equipment/transport
