The Surf Camp

For anyone 18 and up who wants surfing, sunshine and just the right amount of buzz on their doorstep, this classic Landes beach town delivers all of it within a few minutes' walk.

Your Package Includes

Accommodation

Every room is freshly renovated, bright and simple, with two wooden bunk beds and modern shared bathrooms — bookable as a 4-bed shared room, a double, or an exclusive 3-bed room for groups.

Meals

Full board is included throughout your stay. Breakfast is a generous buffet with fresh baguette, cold cuts, cheese, jam, fruit, vegetables, muesli, coffee and tea — and where you'll put together your packed lunch for the beach. Dinner brings everyone back together for a warm, balanced dish each evening plus a salad bar and fresh baguette, served inside or out depending on the weather, with vegan options always available. Once a week, a Wine & Cheese Tasting brings out local wines and regional cheeses for a proper taste of southern France.

Surf Lessons

Our 11-hour surf course runs over 5 days, combining 7.5 hours of practical surfing with 3.5 hours of theory covering wave reading, currents and surf etiquette back at camp. Taught by ISA-certified instructors at the classic Vieux Boucau beach break, where shifting sandbanks and changing tide and wind keep every session a little different — suited to beginners and intermediate surfers alike, with equipment included throughout.

Surf Equipment

Five yoga sessions a week are included, held in the camp's large garden to help with flexibility, balance and recovery between surf sessions. The skate park is just a short walk away, with a modern bowl and street zone for skating and longboarding, and back at camp there's table tennis in the garden and a daily beach flag meet-up for beach games and sunset chill-outs with the rest of the crew.

Camp Activities

The lodge's private pool, yoga pavilion and surf skate space are the heart of camp life, with three included yoga sessions a week led by our local guide Catarina.

An included excursion takes you to the Gorreana tea plantation, Europe's oldest still in operation, and the cozy living room and dining room are where everyone gathers to swap stories over dinner and a glass of wine.

Available on Request

Bus Transfer

Travel to camp by coach from a number of cities across Germany and Switzerland — a relaxed, hassle-free way to arrive without driving yourself.

Longboarding Routes

Cruise the seaside promenade or wind through the pine forest trails just outside camp — free longboards are yours to borrow whenever you fancy a ride.

Skate Park Sessions

Head to the nearby skate park's bowl and street zone for an afternoon of tricks, with our team often heading over too if you'd rather go along with the group.
