The surf

Surfspot
Berria is a relatively unknown and therefore still quiet surf spot located in Cantabria. The bay stretches for 2 km and due to its northern orientation, this spot receives a lot of waves. These waves break over different sandbanks, so there are always waves for both beginners and advanced surfers. Fun guaranteed!
Surf lessons
If you have never surfed before, it is best to take some initiation lessons first. All our surf instructors are ISA certified and SLSGB life savers. They are very experienced and have surfed waves all over the world. We teach in small groups so you can quickly learn a lot! Groups are divided according to level, so even if you have surfed for a few weeks, you can still take lessons.

Surf lesson: € 119 (3x 1.5 hours + 1 hour theory lesson)
Surf lesson: € 169 (5x 1.5 hours + 1 hour theory lesson)
Surf equipment
We only work with the best equipment! Regardless of whether you take lessons or not, you have a choice of a wide range of shortboards, mini-malibus and softboards. Wetsuits and lycras are provided by O'Neill, the ultimate surf brand. There are also bodyboards available and at the camp you will find indoboards and a slackline to improve your technique on dry land. If you bring your own board, you can leave it in our secured area at the camp.

Groups

For all groups of 10 people or more, we offer numerous benefits. A group can simply be a bunch of friends, but also your fellow students, your local pub, youth center, youth organization, sports club, etc. are more than welcome!

Het monitorenteam was the best! Het waren één voor één leuke mensen waar ik op het einde wel een band mee had gekregen. Als je problemen of een goeie talk nodig had kon je er altijd bij terecht. Maar ook om plezier te maken stonden ze altijd paraat!

Lisa uit Essen

Zalig! Ik had eerst geen half pension geboekt, maar dan toch overgeschakeld, omdat ik zag hoe lekker het er allemaal uitzag. Zeker ook een heel breed vegetarisch aanbod!

Flo uit Schilde

Ik keer absoluut terug, want ik heb hier een onvergetelijke tijd beleefd! Voor het eerst in jaren voelde ik mij echt goed op een plaats in een groep met mensen die ik totaal niet kende. Op zo’n korte tijd heb ik zoveel leuke nieuwe mensen mogen leren kennen. Ik heb mij rot geamuseerd!

Jinne uit Leuven

"Activiteiten waren echt nice, ook tof dat er elke dag zoveel te doen was. Ik wist soms niet meer wat wel en wat niet te doen. Wat ook echt nice was, was de strandspelen en de volleybal. Altijd tof om te doen, vind ik!"

Yara uit lembeek

Geweldig eten! Steeds vers en smaakt heel lekker na een lange dag in het water en bezig geweest te zijn.

Helena uit maaseik

De surfles was zeer leerzaam en de coach was ook een topper. Je zag hem niet enkel tijdens de les, maar was het hele kamp actief aanwezig!

Nassim uit Leuven

Tijdens de avondactiviteiten hebben we de leukste momenten meegemaakt. De parties waren zalig (ook dankzij de Freeflow ;)). Na de feestjes deden we altijd verder op het strand. Daar hebben we elkaar goed kunnen leren kennen. Het was elk moment plezier en gelach.

Tess uit mol

Echt een toffe bende monitoren! Het was fijn om te zien dat ook zij zich tijdens hun verplichtingen leken te amuseren :) Ze zorgden voor een toffe sfeer & door hun chille aanpak leek ook niemand deze te willen verpesten.
