New Wave Trip was founded 5 years ago by Rick Cowley when he started teaching surfing lessons in Malibu, California. The work combined two things he loved to do: teaching and surfing. Not only did he get to play in the water all summer and become friends with his students, he also got to travel the world for the rest of the year.

Well, those surf bum days of living in his truck all summer and living out of a bag all winter have passed. A truck won’t house his new wife and baby, and one bag won’t even fit all their wetsuits. Along with Rick’s new responsibilities came a desire to expand New Wave Trip and incorporate another passion: travel.

In January of 2005 an inspirational idea entered his mind and has not left since: to take people surfing in Mexico. Thus The Southern Baja Surf Camp and The '40' Mexico Surf Tour were born.


These surf trips to Mexico are Rick's first step towards his dream of taking people surfing in beautiful new places. If you want to learn how to surf we invite you to join us at the Southern Baja Surf Camp. If you already surf we invite you to join us on our legendary 40 day Mexico Surf Tour from Mazatlan to Puerto Escondido. And we invite you to check back to see where our next destination will be...
