April 29, 2026 at 9:45 pmRenato is THE best surf guide in Popoyo, maybe anywhere.
Helpful ReviewHe always makes sure that you are having fun, are safe and that he’s getting you the best experience for your level of surfing.
He takes the time to understand what you are looking for and makes that happen.
His guidance also progressed my surfing so much.
Renato is kind, fun and chill dude who’s only concern is that you’re having a great time.
Literally the best times of my life have been surfing with Renato. 10/10 recommend him to anyone going to Popoyo, Nicaragua.
