The WERX lifestyle

What the mornings look like.

Cinematic drone and water-angle coverage from the breaks your guide picks. Shot on the mornings you would have been there for.

The guides

Twenty years of mornings at Guiones.

SurfWERX is anchored by the twenty-year manager of Guiones' established surf school, alongside five elite local instructors. Every one of them grew up on this coast and guides it for a living.

Mateo Solís

Reads swell, wind and tide at first light and calls the break that fits the morning and your level — not the one that photographs best.

Your transport and basecamp.

The WERX-Mobile is a custom expedition build.
Not a shuttle van, a true rolling base of operations.

Concept render · build in progress

The WERX-Mobile concept: a matte-black high-clearance 4x4 expedition vehicle, front three-quarter view, with a roof-mounted satellite dome, roof rack and a surfboard on the rear carrier.

Starlink uplink

Live swell, wind and tide data wherever the road ends.

Secure board vault

Lockable, padded storage. Your gear rides safer than you do.

Cold storage

Nutrition and drinks at temperature, pickup to drop-off.

Pressurized rinse

Fresh water on board. You leave the beach clean, not salt-crusted.

High-clearance 4x4

River crossings and washboard tracks stop being a reason to settle.

Three technicians outfitting the WERX-Mobile in a fabrication bay: one mounting the roof satellite dome, one wiring the interior, one fitting a rear equipment drawer beside the cold-storage unit and board carrier.

Built once, properly.

Every system is specified and fitted for surf logistics rather than bolted on afterwards: the rinse plumbing, the cold-storage drawer, the board carrier and the satellite uplink are part of the build, not accessories.

The Performance Library

Leave the boardbag at home.

A curated, condition-matched quiver rides with the WERX-Mobile. Your guide pairs you with the right board for the morning's swell.

The Step-Up

For the days the buoys read overhead and the crowd stays home.

The Daily

The board your guide hands you when Guiones does what Guiones does.

The Groveler

Small-swell insurance. Knee-high mornings still count as mornings.

The Twin

Speed and glide for long walls on the sandbar's better moods.

A cream longboard with pale blue rails and a single fin, standing on a rack against dark timber.

The Glider

First-light silk. Nose over the ledge before the wind wakes up.

The blueprint

Guanacaste is the proof. The model travels.

Playa Guiones is the first outpost and the proof of concept: elite surfers and premium travelers get seamless access to the best beach breaks in the region. Once its unit economics are proven, the model deploys to premier surf destinations worldwide, one local legend at a time.

Costa Rica: Playa Guiones
Portugal: Expansion target
Indonesia: Expansion target

Each new outpost deploys the same $100K expansion pack — vehicle, branding, software — run to a standard operating procedure.
