Our surfing holidays
If you want to experience the best waves, in beautiful locations every day you should come on our amazing surf trips! We travel to the best locations at the optimum times of year on our surfing holidays to SW France and South Africa. On our France surf holiday we travel to Seignosse, SW France. Our surf camp rests under tall pines and we spend our days surfing the best beach breaks along this amazing coast. There are miles of white sandy beaches to sunbathe and surf. It really is a surfers paradise!
On our South Africa surf holiday to Jeffrey’s Bay we surf the legendary point breaks of Jeffrey’s Bay. We stay in a stunning guest house with direct access to the beach overlooking the waves. The surf is so good here they made a film about it – twice! See the Endless Summer films for all the amazing footage of surfing in South Africa. It really is the surf trip of a lifetime.
