The WERX lifestyle
What the mornings look like.
Picked up at dawn, boards already on the rack, a break chosen while you were still asleep. This is the morning we build for you.
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.
Reads the ocean
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.
The WERX-Mobile
Your transport and basecamp.
The WERX-Mobile is a custom expedition build.
Not a shuttle van — a rolling basecamp that carries you, your boards, and everything the morning needs.
Concept render · build in progress
- 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
- Cold drinks and fresh food, kept right from 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.

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 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.
5'8" × 20" × 2½"04 / 05
The Twin
Speed and glide for long walls on the sandbar's better moods.
9'1" × 22½" × 3"05 / 05
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: travelers surf the best breaks in the region without touching a single piece of logistics — no rental car, no boardbag, no guesswork. Once Guiones runs perfectly, the model travels to the world's great surf coasts, one local legend at a time.
