San Sebastian Surf Camp

The environment is so welcoming from the minute you walk in, all the volunteers put in so much work to ensure everyone there has a great time. Special mention to Marios, Victor, Laura, Piper & Nathan for the days at the beach making sure everyone stayed safe and had fun in the water. You get 3 amazing meals everyday (Cait & Bran are superwomen) cooked fresh & plenty for everyone, each day of the week is something different. The morning starts around 9am and everyone heads to the beach at 10:30 where you then spend half the day swimming, surfing, having fun. There’s yoga classes also which is great after you’ve munted half your muscles & then the evenings there’s always something fun planned either going out to the nearby towns or kareoke/rave nights all planned out by the amazing volunteers! I was meant to stay a few days and ended up being there for almost 2 weeks ! Highly recommend <3

Tolle und vielseitige Aktivitäten. Motiviertes, engagiertes und junges Team. Super leckeres Essen.

I have been only (sadly!) 8 days at this amazing surfing school but I really got all the best you can expect from a surf school you book on vacation: surfing every day, surfing instructor always available (a special thank goes to Nathan and Marios that have been very professional!), entertainment activities of any type (horse riding, salsa class, hiking in the forest) and always something funny to do at the night (for people who wanted to)! I think this surfing school is the best compromise you can find between price and surfing school servicies. I will come back (to spin the wheel of luck more time as well eheh)

It's really well organized, you never get bored, and you have everything you need. The staff is super attentive and the atmosphere is great.

Volunteers were so cool…just 3 words: fun, chill and good vibes. They were all great in organising the day activities and party with guests at night.

Be more aware of their great effort even though just volunteers, it’s only thanks to them that this review is positive overall.

good vibe.

I had a fantastic time. They work with a weekly menu. Cookie the chef, made something delicious every day. Taking dietary requirements into account. The camp runs mainly on volunteers who make you feel welcome from day 1. Big shout out to Anna and Nicole for solving certain issues quickly. I had an extra private lesson from Silver which made me a bit more self-confident at surfing after I got a little anxious. they organize daily activities including everyone. I enjoyed Zoë's yoga lessons when they were in the hostel itself. Zoe is a beautiful and pure soul with knowledge and experience . Lessons on the beach were a bit difficult for me. but that's my inexperience

le sejour est très bien penser pour passer un bon week-end, entre les activités, rencontre et découvertes c'était top de vivre une collo pour adultes.

- open welcoming people coming in and out of the hostel and doing most activities together day in day out allows for really strong bonds to form

- the food (healthy and omg so good)

- activities on and plenty of ways to entertain urself in the evening (including the beergrias haha!)

- yoga and surf are really well run

- the value for money is crazy

- the views the location… perfect.

I would and have recommended this experience to anyone who wants a good time. I hope to do it again sometime.

One of the best decisions of my life i have ever made to choose this camp for 1 week and it has been amazing and everything is perfect in this camp everyone is so friendly and welcoming , the best people i have ever meet , special thanks to the best coach ever (Oscar) (ethan) , and the best guide ever (Issy) issabella and dont have words to say if anyone is looking to book then just go for it and youll have best time there , and yeah oscar if you’re watching then im the (ping pong champion) 😂🫶🫶

Thanks for having me

x the initial surf lesson and the conditions/spot to learn surfing,

x the location of the accommodation, the hike trails,

x the nice young people (staff and guests) and to chat with them,

x the stuff was acknowledging their failures and trying to make it all right. (for example when somebody put cheese on the vegan hamburgers, they got me vegan sausages. :)

x although the given party circumstances the accommodation was held clean more or less.

The accommodation is great and clean, surrounded by nature and not too far from the beach where we surf. The food served was great and varied each day. All the team members working there are so friendly and welcoming that you feel like you are in your own house. Overall, as someone trying surfing for the first time, I really liked it and highly recommend it.

The people at the surfcamp are very welcoming, you can do lots and lots of different things in Aia, from surfing to hiking around. Just about daily evening activities are planned that are voluntarily done. You can totally party there! The beach in Zarautz is great for beginners, but also for a bit more advanced people and the instructor was so helpful! Nora is a really great Organisator and you meet people from all over the world, that are also so helpful.

People

El sitio en el que está ubicada la casa, aunque no esté cerca de la playa, es precioso. En medio de la naturaleza

Le cours de surf uniquement

So gut wie nichts.

Nothing.

YOU SHOULD GO THERE if you mainly look for a place to party and enjoy included beer and sangria, and if you're good enough to surf by yourself.

People and staff are generally friendly and the view is beautiful.

People

We met some interesting people and the location of the hostel is stunning - up in the hills surrounded by greenery. The village (Aia) is beautiful and there was a lovely little cafe we went to. Time on the beach in Zarautz was also great. The one yoga class that took place was brilliant - I just wish it had happened as often as was promised. The surf class by Rachel was really helpful and fun.

The beach and area around

It was really good. The people, the parties and the vibe itself was great. It was such a nice experience for us! If we‘d had known how to surf before, it would‘ve been even better :)

Everyone is so kind to each other. Ready for a chat, laugh, drink. I met so many amazing people at this hostel. Would highly recommend if you want to meet new people and be social. I would want to come back!

If you’re looking for a laid back hostel with fun people and good surfing this is the place to be!

The hostel is not about luxury but has everything you need and this encourages the laid back vibes and attracts great people. The surfing lesson was great and the staff were so supportive over the week to help me improve my surfing.

Lo único que me gustó fue la ubicación. NADA MÁS

Nothing, they refund us the money

Cool atmosphere

Beautiful place

Nice people

Attentive staff

people, surf, the house

Los compañeros ha sido lo mejor del viaje, se crea un vínculo chulísimo por lo que vale la pena ir por muchas cosas a mejorar que tenga el campamento. El instructor de Surf es excelente y la gran mayoría de monitores són muy majos (no todos). Aunque nadie del personal tiene el Español como lengua materna, todos se esforzaban por comunicarse con nosotras en español ya que nuestro nivel de inglés es bastante malo. El menú es muy básico pero esta rico.

Amazing location in the small town in the mountains (remember that you don't have permanent acces to the beach), super people and nice climat, allso all inclusive package (10e a day for all you can drink) sounds good.

Los organizadores son geniales y ayudan en todo lo posible a que haya un buen ambiente y que todo el mundo disfrute. El ambiente es muy hippie con gente de todo el mundo.

El surf camp es un sitio mágico. Te sientes arropado desde el primer momento, perfecto para viajar solo. Las clases de yoga y surf muy entretenidas con instructores simpáticos y agradables. Hay actividades todo el dia además de un increíble parque natural al lado y el pueblo, que es precioso. 100% recomendado

What didnt I like? Nada

J ai passé 4 jours agréables. L'auberge est située dans un lieu unique, dans l arrière Pays Basque avec une vue imprenable sur l'océan (magnifique). Tout le monde est adorable et accueillant. Cependant ça ressemble d'avantage à passer 4 jours chez une "bande de potes" que dans un hostel. Le prix est vraiment cher en comparaison avec la qualité du service rendu.

People are very nice. I had very good time, I will definitely come back!

El trato del personal.

Everything

Chilled vibes, food, hiking behind the house, surfing

First of all, as a beginner, I felt my instructor was very patient, and I had great experience of surfing, and I was under protected, felt safe. Apart from the surfing experience, the people there are so lovely, from the staffs to the guests. They arranged hiking, and took us out in the car to visit some places, and they took us to San Sebastian, we went to some cool places to have a little drink and pinchos. Comfortable and chill environment in the hostel. The food is decent. Had really good time there, sure will come back.

The location, the people, the food

I loved staying at the surf house, Adam and Ben were super friendly and made me feel very welcome from the moment I arrived.

The schedule was flexible which suited me perfectly, I could drop in and out of the things that I wanted to do.

The surf lessons were great and I could stand up on the board after only a few days practice. They took us to several different beaches in the area, all beautiful.

The house itself is set in a lush green area with lots of trails to walk or run along. The whole area made me feel very relaxed

Maurice was a fantastic yoga teacher, very relaxed, gave lots of options for each pose depending on our level and was generally a really nice guy.

All the staff looked after us well with simple healthy food. I would definitely return :)

Basically nothing

I loved it. Everything about it. The people there, other visitors , surf and yoga lessons, food, beach... It was really relaxing and fun at the same time.

I liked the vibes.. The mood was the one of a real surf camp.. Wild and free. You feel home. You can meet people from allover the world and enjoy your time in many different ways.

The location was just unbelievably amazing and quiet, exactly what you would look for for a surf camp. Surfing was perfect, twice a day and the waves in Zarautz were really beginner-friendly and easy to catch. The guys made sure everything was well organized and they also took us to San Sebastian more then once at night and showed us cool places where to eat and drink that we wouldn't have found if we were on our own. The food was also always enough and with a great variety and good quality. I will def repeat my experience here

Good location in the middle of a green area - excellent for hikes. They feed us continously with good food and the own bar with beer and sangria is cool. There is always a programme to participate in, but one is entirely free to choose what to do. Ideal for socialising and fully switching off from your everyday reality.

We had a great time in the hostel. People were very friendly, made friends quickly, the surfinstructors were good, the food was good and it was very flexible depending on what you wanted to do. The staff works hard to facilitate you well. Overall a great vibe and I would surely recommend it.

Everyone at the surf camp were incredibly welcoming and easy going, I felt a part of the family as soon as I walked through the door! The house was an epic creation, props to the guys for making it such a sweet living space! Adam and Kayls were absolute legends, I can’t thank them enough for being so helpful and calming, and understanding when things are a little tough. The surf lessons were great, they catered for everyone’s ability and even when the conditions weren’t the best you’ve always still got the option to get out there and give it a crack. There was a perfect mix between relaxing and just hanging out, and then getting a bit roudy on some party nights. Epic experience! Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a bit of fun in Spain!

A very relaxed place - with fantastic views, and great hikes in the area. The food was gorgeous, and the surfing instruction was excellent.

Many thanks to Kailha, Cairy, Adam, Anzie, Jackson, Tallie, Victor

Muy buen ambiente. Los días en la playa haciendo yoga y surf han sido geniales.

Les cours de yoga étaient supers rien à redire.

Les repas étaient globalement très bons bien que frugaux le midi or nous surfions le matin donc étions affamés.

L'ambiance était bonne et le site est bien car le village et la vue sont superbes.

People

The party was the only good thing.

The stoke team with their energy and positive attitude.

The friendly nature, the feeling of not being treated as a customer but being part of a surfing gang and being able to share that first experience with other first timers who hot the waves. A wonderful experience and a marvelous memory to treasure
