winter escapes

So it’s time to take a break…

Summer is coming, which for many that means the holiday season will soon be upon us. For some it’s time for change: the end of the school year signals a generation of young people with a new found freedom to travel. Some of us however only get the luxury of short breaks, but a week away from the daily grid can feel like a lifetime.

So with a surf trip on the horizon, where will you go?

Of course you can simply want to head to your nearest coastline, but there’s a world of options further afield. For first timers and solo travellers, surf camps are a great way of giving you confidence and your family peace of mind. They offer packages for a week or longer, which usually includes accommodation, airport transfers, surf hire and ready-made group of like-minded surf buddies.

To whet your appetite for a summer escape, check out these surf camp options that are just a click or phone call away!
