Surf trips for people who'd rather not follow the crowd.

We don't plan from a screen. Every coast we work is one we surfed and chose ourselves.

A retreat we host in Costa Rica or Portugal. A tailor-made trip built around your crew. Or something bespoke for a team or a brand. Boutique surf travel, run by two people and the locals we've known for years.

Coasts we fell for

Chosen because they felt right in real life, not picked off a list.

Built with locals

The guides, cooks and friends who actually know the water.

More than surf

The waves come first. The food, the place and the people make it stick.

Everyone's welcome

Solo, couple or crew. Every level. No pressure, no ego.

The people behind Mokum

Marthe & Jonne

What started as a surf blog in 2015 grew into a travel agency we run ourselves. We come from hospitality and hotel management, spent three years running a surf hotel on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, and years on the road reviewing places to stay for a living. So we know what makes somewhere feel right, from the welcome to the last plate of the night. Whether we're hosting your retreat or building a trip from scratch, it's the two of us behind it, with a network of locals we've surfed with for years.

"Mokum is the perfect balance of surfing, nature and relaxation - nothing is forced or rushed. If you're second-guessing yourself about booking with them, just do it."
