The secret to happiness….

Dan — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:01:05 +0000

With the romance of Valentines day only a week away, we thought you might like an idea of what makes people happy!

David Cameron commissioned the Young Foundation* to look at what makes people happy, (and how public policy can shape happiness) – and the results were blindingly obvious – life experiences! Rather than getting happy by buying more and more things, or having loads of money,…..people actually feel happier if they have happy experiences, and happy family around them. Shared, fun experiences like surfing holidays expand the mind, and give you happy memories that can be returned to time and time again.

So we suggest this Valentines, buy your loved one a week or more of happiness….. with a deposit for a surfing holiday! You can share the fun of surfing n beautiful locations in France and South Africa. You can book a place on either our Jeffrey’s Bay, South Africa surf holiday or our South West France surfing holiday for as little as £100!

You can buy a gift voucher for any amount, say £20, for the full deposit of £100, or the total holiday cost, whatever your budget. So make someone very happy this Valentines and book on a happy surfing holiday.

*You can read the full report by the Young Foundation here.

Global Surf crew home today

The Global Surf Adventures team are home after a great September surfing in South West France. It has been an amazing France surf holiday with lots of sun, really warm weather, and lots of surfing. Some really big days were accompanied by some small and clean days too. Thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed this beautiful area of South West France with us. We hope to see you again soon. Our next holiday is to Jeffrey’s Bay, South Africa in May 2012.

Afternoon surf on the menu

Dan — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 08:47:35 +0000

We didn’t have our usual dawny surf this morning, as conditions were not suitable. There was some thunder, but the rain has just missed us. We will be surfing this afternoon as the swell has dropped now to about 3ft, so there should be a good little wave at les Bourdaines later.

We had a good time surfing at Cotes des Basques yesterday and it was really hot and sunny.
It’s the World Cup Rugby on in a minute – New Zealand Vs France so everyone is going to the clubhouse to watch the game. Love to everyone back in the UK and see you soon!

France surf holiday photos

We have uploaded some of the best photos from our France surf holiday to our Photo Album page. With temperatures of 30C+ and plenty of waves for everyone it has been a great surf trip. Our last day is Sunday then we are homeward bound. Have a look at what the crew have been up to!

Good to meet you Boggy!

Really good to meet you at Seignosse on our France surf holiday, and thanks for your comments. You might not like to hear this but it’s nice and warm here in France and the surf has gone big and clean at les Bourdaines, but we got a nice 3-4ft clean surf at low tide just north of the pier for a great surf!! Looking forward to catching up again back in rainy old Newquay!

Awaiting tomorrow’s surf

Dan — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 19:36:43 +0000

It was a cool and breezy morning this morning at Seignosse, South West France, but we are awaiting some good surf and weather from tomorrow. We are a bit sad as this is the last week of our holiday! We have had the best weather ever and some really good surf in between the big days!What a great France surf holiday!

I shall be sad to leave, but am looking forward to seeing my lovely pregnant wife Lauren, and my little boy Joshua, who is 2 next week!
