How to use work exchange to surf in Colombia?

Colombia is the only South American country with both Pacific and Caribbean coastlines. So, although it isn’t exactly famous for surfing, it’s a country with great beaches. There are many excellent spots on both coasts. A volunteer who wants to surf in Colombia will have a great time at Guachalito Beach, one of the best parts of Colombia for surfers, along with Pradomar and Barranquilla - which is a popular surfing spot for the entire Caribbean region. The high waves of Juanchaco are for the advanced surfers. El Valle, Punta Sur e San Andres will attract all kinds of visitors.
