The Culture

Boards shaped a few feet from where you’re standing, art made in real time, food worth gathering around, and enough happening after dark to make an early night unlikely. Somos is built around the people making, sharing and bringing it all to life, giving you plenty of reasons to stay a while.

Shapers

World-class shapers come, stay, and build boards in our on-site factory. Watch the foam fly, pull one off the rack, or get a custom shaped while they’re here.

The Somos

Shop

Boards shaped right here at Somos by our rotating cast of world-class shapers in residence, alongside a tight edit of fins, gear and brands we actually rate. Demo one, dig through the racks, or come talk boards for longer than you planned.

Artists

We give handpicked artists a studio, a blank wall, and no brief. From painters and makers to a Michelin chef who traded the kitchen for a paintbrush, they move in and bring their world into ours. Some of what they make stays on our walls, building the house one residency at a time. The faces change, but Somos keeps a little of everyone.

Surf Hideaways

Santa Teresa has no shortage of surf lodges, but SOMOS built something different.

Stab

The best "non-surf" surf resort on earth. That's Stab Magazine's verdict, not ours. Custom boards shaped on-site. A kitchen that means it. A crowd worth staying up for.

"Not just a place to stay. A cultural oasis in the jungle".
