Reasons why you never forget a surf camp

There is a new type of holiday that has spread strongly to all corners of the world. It is not other that to destine those days of pleasure and far from the work to a surf camp, or it is the same thing to surfing with a camp. Long before surfing became an Olympic sport, it was already one of the favourite options for young people in Europe. Getting started in surfing in a country without a sea or with beaches without outstanding spots is very complicated, but it is the reality of many people who have never had the opportunity to get on a board and find through surf camp the only way to try that indescribable feeling of surfing the first wave. Since Calima Surf opened its doors in 1996, more and more schools have chosen to offer similar packages. But why is a surf camp on Lanzarote never forgotten?

Zero concern for planning

Our school makes life for the travelling surfer extremely easy. All you have to do is book a plane ticket to paradise and you don’t have to worry about anything else. In other words, there is no need to spend a minute planning. You can hire the airport transfer service, accommodation is included and you can also opt for full board. The surfer doesn’t have to worry about finding the right spot for his level because he travels to the peak in the company of his instructor and the rest of the group. In fact, even if you have your own material, you don’t have to travel with it because the school has soft, epoxy and fibre boards. It is an added comfort because the surfer does not run the risk of having his board damaged no matter how well packed it is.

Ideal for lone wolves, couples and groups

Every surfer profile has a place in a surf camp. It is ideal for lone wolves, couples and for a group holiday. The one who travels alone ends up meeting people and the day becomes much more enjoyable, couples have less time to argue because they share part of their hours with other people and in the case of a group trip, then, all are advantages and comforts because they do not have to look for an agreement with the daily agenda. It is already fixed and you only have to follow it and whoever wants to play hooky is free to do so.

New perception of life

​En un surfcamp llegas a hacer más amigos que en ningún otro tipo de viaje. Coincides con personas de todos los países, idiomas y religiones y más en un destino tan plurinacional como Lanzarote. Este tipo de experiencia te da, además, una nueva percepción de la vida. Y es que no solo es un viaje surf. Es una manera de llegar a conocerse a uno mismo y al mundo que nos rodea porque te llevas amistades de todos los lados. El surf, el agua y el esfuerzo generan una unión difícil de quebrantar, de ahí que en una semana de surf camp tengas garantizado un nuevo grupo de WhatsApp con todos los compañeros de este viaje.

Facilities for repeaters

Falls, tiredness and aches are some of the first words that will come out of someone’s mouth when summarizing their time at a surf camp. For some strange reason and despite this apparent negative view, most people repeat. Surfing and surf camps are addictive to the point of becoming a ritual for many people, who spend part of their holidays every year returning to Lanzarote and who over time have become part of this great family that is Calima Surf. For the repeat surfers all are facilities from their second trip onwards because there is more flexibility in terms of dates, some discount and a closer relationship with all the team.

Surfing Vocation

All the people who make the school work the way it does, have a vocation for surfing and live the experience with you from day one to the last. They are surfers from head to toe and transmit that passion for the waves to you. Surfing is one of the biggest communities in the world and it grows every day thanks to the surf camps.

A different way of getting to know a place

Guided holidays do not give you much freedom. You go to the same places as other tourists, take the same photos and don’t leave the tourist areas. Through a surf camp, it is easier to go on excursions to places that are not so crowded. Remember that you will be living with local people who know better than anyone what to visit and where to eat in order to taste the real food of the area.
