Why a surf school trip?

A surf trip gets students outdoors, builds confidence and teamwork, and gives them a new skill to take home.

Expert coaching

Lessons with ISA-certified instructors in groups of up to 8 students, grouped by ability, with no surf experience needed.

Everything organised

Surf lessons, accommodation, meals, a weekly programme and travel, including coach, flights and airport transfers, arranged in one place.

More than surfing

Beach volleyball, yoga and cultural trips, with a day out in San Sebastián the most popular excursion.

Safety and supervision

Small surf groups

French law limits surf courses to 8 students per instructor, and students need to be able to swim 50 metres safely to take part.

Clear camp rules

Alcohol and drugs aren’t allowed, and quiet time starts at 10.30pm, so everyone is rested for the next session.

Your group, your leaders

Teachers and group leaders stay responsible for supervising their group, and students only swim in the sea with a supervising teacher present.
