AFT Rancho
Surf, live music & art
The surf
The north swells are blocked by the north part of Buenos Aires from November to March, so we get primarily small waves, perfect for beginners. If you are looking for bigger waves, good for intermediate and advanced surfers, the best time of the year to visit us is from March to mid-November. That's when we get east and south swells, making the waves in our breaks much bigger!
Breaks

Franco Rivas
For more than 9 years, Pepe has been a surf coach. He learned to teach surfing at the age of 14 at the Mar del Plata Surf School, located in Playa Grande, one of the most recognized schools in the area.
The school is directed by Rulo Prenski, who trained him during his years for his junior championship competitions. Now, he's been giving 1-week surf courses, helping people improve their surfing skills in a short time.
Throughout the years, Pepe left the competition to enjoy surfing in another way. He learned to appreciate the waves and discovered that he doesn't need to always maneuver. He realized that there are many types of waves and that you need to read them in other genuinely enjoy the ride.
With that in mind, Pepe invites you to take one AFT Surf Trip to learn and take your surfing skills to another level. He will teach you techniques and help you improve your performance through photographic analysis, a good diet and concentration in a week of pure surfing.
