How It All Began 

We, that is 3 best friends, Joe, Sami & Pablo, founded Star Surf Camps in 2009, brought together by our shared passion for surfing and travelling. We started with one small surf camp in Moliets, France. As we’re all growing up, so is our business and, over the last few years, we’ve opened more Star Surf surf camps in Carcans, France, on Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands, on Bali in Indonesia and, brand new, in Santander, Spain.

Today, Star Surf Camps operates family surf camps, stand up paddle camps and Yoga camps across 5 continents, with more opening year after year. Staying true to our roots, we continue to teach surfing with the same passion we did when the business first started, still delivering surf holidays with a smile and still loving to welcome our surf camp guests into our surf camps personally. Throughout our time in the surf industry, we have been fortunate enough to meet other surf camps, surfing boat trips, surf schools and surf retreats that share our passion for the sport of surfing. In order to offer you, our surf travel guests, a larger variety of surf destinations and surf spots, we’ve started to work together with these surf travel companies and surf schools, so you can join Star Surf in even more locations in one of our wonderful partner surf camps all around the world!

Our International Team

Our carefully selected, international surf team is an eclectic mix of surf instructors, chefs, camp team, local guides, surf photographers, Yoga instructors, office staff and lifeguards. Each individual brings their own stoke for surfing into this mix. Together, our passions provide an intoxicating enthusiasm for surfing and the perfect environment to kick back, meet new people, make new friends and have the surf holiday of a lifetime! Like our surf team, each of our surf camps has its own unique personality, so you can chose your surf camp safe in the knowledge that those working there and joining you will be like-minded surfers, keen to welcome you into the Star Surf Family and share their passion for surfing with you!
