What makes GURU different?

Why should I travel with GURU?
-Your trip will be BETTER and EASIER. Each Pro Athlete only hosts a trip at a location they know exceptionally well. They’ve lived there, travelled there, done their sport there. 100s of times. They know when & where conditions are best, & what areas to avoid. They know how to get around lines & crowds. They know the locals & get the best hookups on gear, food, service, & supplies.

Is travelling with a Pro Athlete going to be intimidating or awkward?
-Absolutely not. Each Pro Athlete is carefully chosen as not only a leader in their sport but also a true ambassador. Each chosen Pro is a fun & inspiring person with contagious passion & energy that will allow you to be comfortable & confident throughout your entire trip.

Will I receive lessons on my trip?

The Pro Athlete will mentor & coach each guest in order to optimize form & technique so that you elevate your performance & enjoyment. You will return home an improved version of your previous self.

Can I bring a beginner friend and can they get lessons, or not participate?
-Yes, a beginner friend can join and we can arrange lessons for them, or additional activities so they have an amazing time.

What’s the difference between a GURU trip and a sport clinic or camp?
-More than just sport, each GURU trip is designed to balance some of your best & most progressive sessions in the most beautiful & optimal locations with relaxing, exciting, & luxurious vacation experiences. Local food, art, music, and culture that the Pro Athlete loves will be built into each itinerary. It’s like 2 vacations in 1.

How long will each active day be?
-The best days will last sun-up to sun-down, but don’t worry there will be plenty of chances to rest, and we will have slower days when conditions are less than ideal or simply planned as rest days. The Pro will constantly monitor the group and adjust activity as appropriate.

Should I bring my own gear?

How large will my group be?

How fit do I need to be to join a GURU trip?
-GURU trips are designed with the enthusiast in mind, and while we don’t expect anyone to be at the Pro Athlete host’s level, being in reasonably good shape will ensure you enjoy your trip to the fullest. Having said that, each trip is meant to be a vacation, not a boot camp, & each itinerary has breaks & rest periods built-in. Guests can always opt out of some activities if they need a moment.
