- Description
- In France & Spain the surfaris run from 1st of April till 10th of October. You can start your surfari on any day as the shuttle vans do daily pick/ups from San Sebastian and Biarritz.
Biarritz - France
Stoke is located in the heart of chic Biarritz. A stroll to the famous ’Grande Plage’ and the many glamorous bistros, morning garden markets, high-end fashion houses and top-notch chocolatier establishments… as well as access to the Atlantic Coast’s trendiest nightspots.
Biarritz is located in the south west corner of France, open to consistent Atlantic swells, warm summertime water temperature and conveniently close to the budget airline airport of Biarritz. Biarritz has the highest average temperatures of anywhere in France. Many day excursions are available to nearby Bayonne, across the border to San Sebastian and up the Pyrenees mountains where rafting, wine and cheese tasting are all available.
Your surf guides will find the best spot or coolest town, they will go to crankin' pointbreaks or mellow beginners beachies depending on the surf conditions and surf levels of the guests. If you’re a beginner, at least five days a week they have 1.5 hours of surf lessons on the beach in front of the camp.
If the surf goes flat there's never a dull moment with cliff-jumping, cave swimming, skateboarding, bike riding, scenic tours into Bayonne or Biarritz, football, beach volleyball or just a game of cricket on the beach... If you want the best of the action, time your visit around the surf festivals or mad European parties like the Fete de Bayonne or Running of the Bulls.
Santander - Spain
Santander is located on the north-west coast of Spain. It has an airport where low-cost airlines fly to (including Ryan Air). It is 100km west of Bilbao, and 200km west of San Sebastian.
