Surf Camp Food

Breakfast buffets, midday snacks & hearty dinners

 

For your six surf camp breakfasts, we provide you with a delicious breakfast buffet that includes a variation of tea, coffee, juices, milk, cereals, honey, jam, fresh and crispy traditional French baguette, a large selection of cheeses, hams, salamis and other spreads. We also provide fresh fruits, tasty croissants, sweet and savoury crêpes and other delicious baked treats. You also get to take whatever you can’t try in the mornings as a picnic lunch for your day out surfing.

On four nights of your surf holiday week in our Moliets Surf Camp, we serve you a hearty dinner with variations of desserts. On a fifth evening, we celebrate the French culture with our traditional Wine & Cheese night — definitely one of our surf camp week highlights. We love a good BBQ here at Star Surf Camps so, once a week, we get the coals burning and the summer vibes flowing for our delicious tarp surfing BBQ feast.

Twice a week, we take you away from the surf camp to two of Europe’s most famous culinary cities — to Biarritz where you have the chance to enjoy some traditional french Cuisine and to San Sebastián for Spanish tapas and pintxos. Both day trips are among the social highlights of your surf camp week in Moliets and not to be missed!

For a little snack during the day, we also have our on-site snack shack for ice creams, snacks, cold drinks, chocolate bars and other little treats that will keep you going on all of your sunny Moliets Surf Camp days.

Vegetarian and vegan options are available upon request. If you have any allergies or other dietary requirements, you can tell us during the booking process. We’re happy to cater for your needs on your surf holiday with Star Surf Camps. Please note that we do not serve breakfasts on Saturdays due to early departures and late arrivals on change-over days. Thank you.

Surf Lessons Moliets

Learn to surf in perfect beginner waves!

 

At Star Surf Camps, we are renowned for our enthusiastic, professional and fun approach to teaching surfing. Our international surf team of professional surf instructors doesn’t simply watch you from the beach, but gets in the water with you to help you catch the best waves.

With our most popular Moliets Surf Package, you receive 12 hours of surf tuition every week. This includes plenty of time surfing the amazing waves of Moliets-Plage, the beach just outside the campsite. On top of that, we include sessions on water safety and ocean currents to ensure you’re safe when in the water with us and when surfing on your own. The maximum group size for each surf lesson is eight surfers per one to two surf instructors.

All our surf coaches are professional, experienced, fully-licensed and qualified plus have a lifeguard qualification. The surf equipment (surfboards, leashes and wetsuits) is free to use within the surf lessons and free to use upon availability outside of them.

Yoga Sessions in Moliets

Strengthen Your Body & Revitalize Your Mind!

 

All over the world, yoga has swept surfers off their feet with all professional surfers using yoga to improve their flexibility, core strength and surfing performance. So, if after a long surf camp day surfing you feel like you could do with some stretching, yoga is a fantastic way to improve your flexibility and to strengthen your body.

New to our Moliets surf camp this year are our Surf Yoga Sessions, included in all our Moliets Surf Holiday Packages. For those of you who have never done yoga before, your group session is a fun and informal introduction to surf yoga. For all experienced yogis joining Star Surf Camps in Moliets, your group yoga session will focus upon how yoga can compliment your surfing.

 

Yoga Upgrade

If you’d like to do more yoga on your surf holidays and join our yoga instructors for some inspiring sunset yoga sessions in our Moliets Surf Camp or on the beach, then choose our yoga upgrade. Our enthusiastic and professional yoga instructors in Moliets make their sessions fun and accessible to ‘yogis’ of all levels. 

Day Trips & Activities

Shake off the sand and salt! We’ve got some amazing trips planned for you…

 

We all love nothing more than the laid-back surfing lifestyle. The feeling of the sun kissing your wet skin after you’ve nailed your last wave of your surf session is simply priceless. But once or twice a week, we do fancy washing off the sand and salt to put on our glad rags and hit the road.

‘Tapas, Sangria & Party’

San Sebastián Day & Night Out

 

Just 20 kilometres south of the French border, along the crystal clear coast of the beautiful Bay of Biscay, lies the vibrant city of San Sebastián. The gorgeous harbour, lively city centre and grand Spanish plazas give the city a glamorous and sophisticated atmosphere by day, while uncountable busy tapas bars and numerous energetic night clubs make for its flirtatious and crazy vibe at night. Join Star Surf Camps on our fantastic day trip away from the surf to this city we’re sure you’ll be falling in love with!

Leaving our Moliets Surf Camp after your surf lessons, we start our San Sebastián day trip in the afternoon with cool sangrias, delicious tapas and a tour around the old part of town and its bars. Once in San Sebastián, you have enough free time to explore the city on your own, go shopping, stroll through the quaint, little streets or see the stunning cathedral before we make our way up gorgeous Monte Urgull.

Overlooking San Sebastián’s breathtaking bay, the top of this hill makes for the ultimate starting point to a perfect night out! With a drink in your hand and a big smile on your face, watch an incredible sunset and get ready to hit the bars, nightclubs and to party all night long! In other words, it’s as easy as this: San Sebastián’s Spanish flair and great summer vibes together with our awesome Star Surf Camps atmosphere make our trip here an absolute must-do and certainly an adventure not to miss out on!

‘Culture meets Coastline’

Biarritz Day Trip

 

Biarritz, without a doubt, is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. That’s why locals often call the city “the Queen of the Basque country”. What sets Biarritz apart from the hundreds of other beautiful European coastal hot spots is that its beauty and charm are far from skin deep, as the city is steeped in rich culture and historical relevance with particular reference to the surfing world. It was actually on these very beaches that the first waves in Europe were surfed when a Californian filmmaker called for his surfboard to be shipped out all the way to France after seeing the beauty and the waves on offer. Since then this city has been on an even keel of surf and sophistication. Where else do you find a bond like casino on the beach serving up trendy cocktails as its patrons watch over the surfers and waves almost lapping up to the baccarat table?

The best thing about our Biarritz Day Trip is that there is so much to see and do, so much of this chic town to sample that will cost you next to nothing. We start our tour at the infamous lighthouse with panoramic views across the city and neighbouring beaches. Our walking tour will take you along the pristine coastline, across pedestrian bridges to tiny islands, among art installations and statues, through stained glass churches past our favourite ice cream parlours and will certainly end at a lively watering hole usually accompanied with live music. Et voila!

Still hungry for more?
