Would you like to book your first surf trip or do you already have experience, are you looking for a great place to surf and want to know if learning to surf at a surf camp is right for you?

But you can’t really make up your mind with all the surf camps on offer and are wondering whether this is something for you?

Here are 7 reasons why a surf camp is the best option for your surfing vacation!

Reason 1: Learning to surf at a surf camp is the easiest and quickest way

If you are a beginner or intermediate surfer, the surf camp is the right place for you. Surfing is a very demanding sport, which makes learning without instruction super difficult. You quickly get into the habit of making mistakes that you can avoid with a professional surf course. Surfing with instruction is definitely better than surfing alone, as you can correct mistakes immediately and receive individual feedback. You can learn safely and get help from professionally trained surf instructors. This definitely makes more sense and is more fun. The surf camp also provides all the basic conditions that make it easier for you to learn to surf.

In addition to the equipment, surf instructors, surf course plans and theory sessions, there is a scheduled surf course every day. This means that you always arrive at the most suitable surf spot at the most suitable time for you. This makes things a lot easier than if you were on your own.

Reason 2: Learning to surf at a surf camp means living and learning to surf with like-minded surfers

The learning factor at the surf camp is not only high during the surf course, you will also receive tips about surfing, surf spots or other surf destinations in conversations outside the surf coaching sessions. They are all about surfing and this passion is always palpable. A surf camp is a good choice, especially if you are traveling alone. You meet like-minded people and make friends. Surfers often share the same values. They are sea lovers, nature lovers, people who appreciate the simple life. Many guests have made friends for life at surf camps.

Surfing is a sport that for most people is driven by the fun of constantly learning, traveling and meeting like-minded surfers. That’s why surfing is a sport in which a strong community is formed in which people support each other. This feeling of arriving and being accepted for who you are can be found in a surf camp. It’s like going surfing with friends. A surf vacation at a surf camp also offers you a great group experience. The cheering in the line-up and the motivating group factor will help you learn immensely. In this way, a surf camp is incredibly social.

Reason 3: Learning to surf at a surf camp means always having a contact person before your trip and on site.

The staff at the surf camp have often been working in the surfing sector for many years and therefore know exactly what you are looking for and can answer any questions you may have. You can therefore be sure that you will always get help with any problems or questions. Who is the best person to contact? Questions about surfing, equipment or technique are best put to a surf instructor or experienced surfer. You can ask the office team questions about booking, accommodation and payment, and you can also get advice on activities, restaurants, bars and parties from the office staff or interns.

Questions about traveling to the surf camp

The office team at the surf camp will be happy to help you with any questions about your journey. Be it cheap airlines, an airport shuttle, the cheapest rental car or travel directions. You will receive all this information before you arrive. Don’t be afraid to write to us on WhatsApp or give us a call. There are usually little insider tips on cheap flights or the best way to get there.

Reason 4: Learning to surf at a surf camp means variety, excursions and activities – so have fun on your surf vacation

At the surf camp, there are many activities that you can do in addition to surfing. Be it yoga, skating, hiking, fishing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, sunbathing, reading a book, a trip on a sailing boat or catamaran, diving, snorkeling and much more. The possibilities offered by a surf camp are so varied that you will always have something different to do. Nevertheless, you can also sit back and simply relax at any time. It all depends on the type of vacation you want, your energy or your motivation. You are guaranteed to always find another guest who wants to do something together. But you will also always have the opportunity to do your own thing and have time for yourself.

Reason 5: Learning to surf at a surf camp means working and surfing under one roof

With its relaxed environment, a surf camp offers a great opportunity to combine working and surfing. Each of our accommodations has a fiber optic internet connection and guarantees you fast internet for video conferences and for your home office abroad. You can spend your “workation” both in the surf camp and in one of our apartments. The great thing is that many employers are happy to let you work from abroad, because they know that the sea and perhaps the opportunity to surf before or after work can be particularly motivating. If you would like to work by the sea, then get in touch with us and we will help you realize your dream of working at a surf camp in Fuerteventura.

Reason 6: Learning to surf in a surf camp means always staying close to the beach!

Our surf camp is located right next to the beach. This saves you a lot of money, as the beach is within walking distance and you don’t have to drive somewhere every time. Be it the fine-grained, white lagoon beach “Los Lagos”, opposite our surf camp, which invites you to swim and sunbathe, or the yellowish, not quite so fine beach where the surfers, wind surfers and kite surfers gather, the “Piedra Playa de Cotillo“. These are just two of the many beaches to discover in the area. To explore the island and beaches such as Playa de Esquinzo, the staircase beach, the lagoon in the south of the island and the long sandy beaches of Jandia, we would definitely advise you to hire a car, as one or two excursions should not be missed during your visit to the surf camp.

Reason 7: Learning to surf at a surf camp means having the time of your life!

Basically, a surf camp is of course designed to give you an unforgettable week. The best thing is certainly the relaxed atmosphere and the feeling of being in the right place. It’s the other guests at the surf camp, the fun, the excitement and the surfing, the shared activities and the delicious food. You don’t have to worry about anything, you can just relax and chill out. Booking a surf camp means investing in good times, a good atmosphere and great memories.

If we were able to convince you, we would be delighted to welcome you soon.
