NON SURFING ACTIVITIES
"Best surfcamp, underrated!
First time surfing ever and I fell in love with it thanks to my incredible surf instructors (Yudi and Riki, who were very patient with me and always made me smile even after failed atempts on the waves), the sweetest staff at the camp who were like family and the overall vibe of the place where you just feel at home!"
Emma Verdonck, 2024.
"I’ve been to a few surf camps and this one is at the top for me. The large camp is gorgeous and the private rooms are incredible for a very reasonable price. It’s quite a small camp (like up to 15 guests) which gives a nice atmosphere. It feels more like a little family than a big business."
Mac Furly, 2024.
"Staff are all very friendly and after a few days you'll feel like part of a big family. Food, facilities and atmosphere are all great too. Would recommend to anyone looking to learn and also experienced surfers too. nstructors are excellent and you'll socialise with then throughout the day, not just the surf session."
Daniel Munro-Morris, 2024.
