I have never surfed before. Can I still join the surf camp?

Absolutely! All our surf camps are located on great beginner surf spots & beaches. Our surf lessons are specifically designed for first time surfers. During a typical one-weeks surf course, our surf instructors teach you the essentials of surfing: how to paddle into waves, how to catch a wave, how to stand up and how to control your surfboard. We also teach surf theory sessions on water safety, surf etiquette and the all important surfer slang.

Can I bring my own equipment on my surf holidays?

Of course, you can! If you are an intermediate to advanced surfer, we would even recommend you do so. We have a good range of beginner surfboards in all our surf camps. For safety reasons, they are however all soft tech ‘foamie’ surfboards. Flight operators usually charge additional luggage fees for taking surfboards, so please check with your flight operator's “Large Sports Luggage”-policy before arriving at the airport to avoid costly fees.

What surf courses do you offer in your summer camps?

In our summer surf camps in Moliets-Plage in Southwest France and in the North of Spain in Oyambre, we offer three surf course levels you can choose from for your surf holiday week. All surf courses include 5 practical surf lessons and one surf theory session in the surf camp, each 90 minutes long. We provide all surf equipment free of charge for the duration of your surf lesson.
