During this surf holiday, you will either stay in a dorm room style accommodation in the stoke surf house located in the beautiful Pagoeta National Park with bedding included or at a camping accommodation with self-inflating mattresses and sleeping bags, depending on the weather and waves.

What was once an active traditional farmhouse is now transformed into a surfer's haven, it has panoramic views overlooking the North Atlantic ocean and Basque countryside. The new surf house offers a hub for like-minded travelers from all around the world to surf the picture-perfect summer waves of Playa Zarautz.

Program

Just like a normal safari, the day's plan is never set in stone. You'll be starting bright and early to eat a home-cooked breakfast, and then pack the van and hit the road in search of the best waves and the biggest kicks of the day! Regardless of how it looks, your days will be filled with delicious food, incredible scenery, world-class waves, and tons of booze.

Heres some places where we're likely to chase waves to your surfari. They try to fit in as many locations and as much fun as you can swell and conditions permitting. Their knowledge of the areas will ensure that they find a wave suited to you no matter your surfing ability.
