Active Family Holidays

Kindergarden and kid’s animation and activities

For all children that are under 7 years, we organise a surf kinder garden, so parents have a peace of mind while surfing, enjoying easy beach life, having a glass of a great Bordeaux wine, practicing yoga, going for a run or just having some simple spare time for themselves. We set the kinder garden schedule and tailor it to the group needs on the first day when you come to our camp.

Yoga

Yes, we do Yoga too. Everybody is welcome to free one yoga lesson and if you like it, then you can choose from our yoga classes. We offer daily yoga classes (morning or evening – depending on the surf classes), which are tailored made for all those who are experiencing muscle tensions and feel stiffness in the area of spine. Focusing on controlling the breath and understanding how body balance is established. Yoga practice is a Vinyasa flow practice – an active yet relaxing practice. We believe yoga practice is crucial for a better surfing performance.

LONGBOARD

Longboarding is a sport with growing popularity. Cruise by the ocean and feel the breeze. Longboards and surf boards go hand in hand.

MOVIE NIGHT

On summer evenings we are enjoying watching movies. Sit back and cozy up to our favorite surf movie. On sofas, under the stars without overpriced snacks and admission fees.

FUN

Unforgettable “in house” parties after sunset surf sessions. Parties are part of a surfing lifestyle. We are big fans of spontaneous afternoon parties around our place but never organise heavy parties as we prefer a laid back and peaceful atmosphere.

KARAOKE

Hilarious karaoke party after BBQ (and way too much sangria) should definitely be on your bucket list. It is a great way to bond with our surf family.

BBQ

Bonding with your friends, family or your partners on a summer evening by the fire is always a special experience. Grilling some fish and veggies, have a beer or two and talking about todays surfing adventures.

TRIPS
