Description
Puerto Baquerizo Moreno on San Cristobal Island is a small, ocean-side town tucked within a mind-blowing ecosystem complete with sea turtles, iguanas, penguins and blue-footed boobies.
Surf crystal clear waves, relax on white-sand beaches, hike up to a freshwater lake or negotiate with a sea lion for a seat on her park bench. The town-centre is a pretty collection of laid-back restaurants and bars and you can hop on your bike to explore much of the green island. Grab a local boat taxi to visit another island, or just kick back, surf and contemplate life in a place where the human footprint is kept to a minimum.

Team
Amy Schwartz
Amy has structured her career in nonprofit and public sector management around her surfing lifestyle - which has ranged from public health in Nova Scotia, women's rights in Cape Town, instructing Outward Bound in Costa Rica and disaster response planning in Lima. For 17 years she's travelled solo to surf-spots all over Asia, Africa, South America, Central America and North America. Amy knows an excellent surf-locale when she finds it, so she's in charge of selecting locations. She looks for the ideal alignment of swell season, wave quality, small crowds and breaks that are within walking distance to delicious food, an excellent massage therapist and meaningful cultural experiences.
John Furness
John is founder and creative director of Simple Square, a web design company that is defined by remote work. Team members and clients of Simple Square are rarely in the same country, allowing John to take his work on the road to places where he can surf, mountain bike and windsurf. With over 15 years of remote work experience, John is as fussy about internet speeds as he is about wave quality. He’s a master of analyzing swell, wind, tides, bythemetry and is a hopeless nerd when it comes to board and fin specs. He’ll answer all of your remote work, board selection and other surf-related questions.
