Program
All united through the best action sport of summer, surfing. Nature is the hallmark of Biosurfcamp, get away from the traditional beach and umbrella vacations and enter fully into a surfing adventure, contact with the environment, and relaxation hand in hand with this surf camp. In this surf camp, you will stay near some of the most important beaches in Cantabria, such as Los Locos and La Concha. In addition, you will be in one of the areas with more nightlife in Cantabria.
The bars, restaurants, and pubs are famous throughout the province because Suances is the seaside town with more summer life in Cantabria. Relaxation is the hallmark of this adult surf camp. Inside their facilities, you will enjoy many places where you can forget about routine stress and rest. They have an area for meditation and yoga that can be used at any time of the day, a dry sauna and outdoor contrast showers ideal for use after surfing lessons, as well as a natural meadow where you can lie down under the sun as well as an awesome terrace with wide views to the green hills around the camp.
Surfing is the main engine of the camp. They teach surf courses from early morning until late afternoon. The small groups for the classes are created depending on surf levels and sea conditions. You will travel between the facilities and the beach by van. The duration of the classes is two and a half hours from the time you leave until you return to the facilities.
Also, you will have the material to surf on your own throughout the day so you can continue enjoying what you have learned in the daily courses with instructors. The time of the course includes the displacements, the practice of the technique in the sand, the heating, and the practice in the water. You will have a loan service for material outside of the course with the surf package and accommodation on the days that there is a surf course booked.
