Kip’s
Exotic Surf Tours (KEST)
Kip’s Exotic Surf Tours travel to:
Imagine yourself under a palm tree looking out at crystal
clear 80 degree water and six foot waves. Kip and his highly
trained, friendly staff can make your surf travel the ultimate
safe surf trip complete with your own surfing lifeguard/coach
interpretor, equipment handler and guide. Light or rough water
surfing experience available. We can take you from whatever
surfing level you are on to the next, in three or four easy
steps with Kip’s advanced teaching technique.
Kip brings 33 years of Lifeguard experience, and Big Wave
Surfing. Member of two World Championship teams one in Surfing
and one in Lifeguarding Competition. Kip has taught surfing
to over 35,000 junior lifeguards, inner city children and
350 Blind to medium and severely handicapped children since
1975.
Beginners:
Starting off with surfboards especially designed for the beginner
and larger surfer in mind, Kip’s technique is guaranteed
to have you up and riding within 30 to 40 minutes. Kanoa will
show you a 20 minute on the sand do’s and don’ts
technique, how to stand and how to fall. Then he will go out
in the water with you to correct anything you are doing wrong
to get you up and riding in short order.
Advanced Surfers:
For the advanced surfer Kanoa will show him Competition techniques,
paddling and advanced ocean knowledge readability, limitations,
wave speeds, barrel riding, aerials and combinations. Kanoa’s
staff can educate the surfer on conditions, currents, how
to enter and exit each surf spot, wave judgement, timing and
special yoga stretches designed for surfers. He will point
out indigenous sea life that inhabit the area of your choice.
Ayur Veda ( health food) cooking lessons add $40.00 per one
hour, per session.
Since the waves break on islands coming from deep water swells
onto shallow abrupt reefs, the wave has much more power and
speed in the tropics. For example a wave moving California
at roughly five to ten miles an hour in Hawaii can move up
to 30 plus an hour. This takes extreme adjustment to oceanic
knowledge that Kip offers in his advanced course. . Kip can
maximize even the mature surfers experience with simple proven
hands on technical analysis.
Culture:
Kip will plug you into the culture using his 30 years of experience
dealing with the people in all locations.
All destinations have translators that can help you get the
best prices on all your equipment and goods, show you the
best surf breaks, point out places of interest in each country

Most frequently asked questions:
1. Is it safe where I’m going? Are the people friendly?
Bali has extremely friendly and honest people living there,
see uluwaturesort.com in the country, and Sandot Mas Bungalows,
e-mail sandatmass@yahoo.com. Costa Rica, Mexico, and Hawaii
you should error on the side of caution when it comes to valuables,
except at Eugenes Bed and Breakfast. Eugene’s phone
number in Costa Rica is 011-506-844-9710.
2. Will I be able to surf some of the advanced surf spots
being a beginner or an intermediate surfer? The answer is,
yes you can. Where there is good advanced surf breaking, right
around the corner exist small beginning or intermediate waves.
Most advanced surf spots can be surfed by the intermediate
surfer at high tide. Our friendly staff can direct you daily
to these surf spots. They will direct you on how and where
to enter and exit the water safely at each spot.
3. Can I start off on small waves when beginning to tow in
surf? The answer is yes. We recommend you start off towing
in on 2-3’ waves in the beginning, and working up at
your own speed. We can put you into as large of surf as you
would feel comfortable, accompanied by my certified Big wave
riders / lifeguards.
4. Is this a good trip for my family (see Costa Rica, and
Bali, photos). Yes . While some countries are more kid friendly
right now. I would have to put Costa Rica, Bali , and Hawaii
at the head of the list.
5. Travel tips: Keep well stretched, and hydrated on all the
flights. Drink a lot of water when you get to your destination.
6. Should I get any shots before I go one a long trip such
as a malaria shot? My experience has been no, do not get a
shot . Always confirm with your own Medical Doctor before
leaving.
7. Are the surf spots rocky or sandy breaks? We will be surfing
both. Prepare for both with a little pair of lace up short
cut booties. Body Glove, and O’neil both make good ones.
8. Daily surf pack is as follows: Dry bathing suit, wet suit,
towel, sun screen, booties, water, wax, sun glasses, fin screw,
hat, book and money.
9. When we bring our children on this trip what sort of other
events can we all do? To start with, horse back riding, jet
skiing, water fall swimming ( see photos ). Zip Lining, skin
diving, scuba diving, kayaking, cave exploring, reptile, and
bird Zoos, shopping, parachuting, 4 wheeling, kite surfing.
It all depends on the location. Some areas have more events
than others.
10..Can I bring my own animal? Yes, some airlines have decompression
for their luggage areas which is safe for animals. Some hotels
allow for pets.
11. Are there any mosquitos where I’m going? Some places
like Uluwatu in Bali and Dominical in Costa Rica at Eugenes
place, have little or no mosquitos. Other areas watch out.
What about Malaria, or West Nile virus? It has not been a
problem for years in Bali, Hawaii, Java, Costa Rica, Cabo.
St. Barts. Always error on the side of caution and consult
your physician.
12. How to pack your surf board: Remove or secure fins. Fold
up a large towel or use large bubble wrap for the tail, nose
and wrap center of the surfboard 3 times - a sleeping bag
will do. Place that into a light board bag, and then into
a large box or travel surf bag. Always bring your long board
and short surf board, if possible. The surfboard baggage cost
is usually $75.00 per board. Sometimes you can get away with
wrapping two boards together and paying for one.
13. After Kanoa’s surfing evaluation Kanoa’s staff
will personally help you pick out the right equipment finely
tuned to your own surfing style and ability. We can recommend
wet suits, surf boards, board shorts, surf rack, fins etc.
at discounted prices. Call Kip @ 310-374-1994.
