What does a week of Surfcamp look like?

Experience the ultimate surf lifestyle in ‘s-Gravenzande!

During the day, you’ll be hitting the waves for some surf sessions, and in the evenings, you can chill with your new surf buddies on the beach or in the hammocks by the campfire. One warning: surfing is addictive. Once you catch that thrill, you’ll never want anything else.

For a whole week, you’ll learn to surf from top Dutch surfers on one of the best surf spots in the Netherlands. ‘s-Gravenzande is an excellent location because the waves are super long, and the seabed consists of lovely fine sand. Once you’re standing on your board, riding the waves, it feels epic!

We stay at a campsite just behind the dunes. From the campsite, it’s a short walk to the sea. There’s a chill corner with music, hammocks, and Fatboys on the campsite. In addition to surfing, we’ll also do longboarding, bodyboarding, bake pizzas, play beach volleyball, and much more.

Facilities at this location:
– Beach within walking distance
– 4-person sleeping tents with field beds
– Cozy recreation tent with lounge sofas
– Mobile charging points
– Chill spot with hammocks and Fatboys
– Table tennis table and field for outdoor games
– Adequate and clean sanitary facilities

With a bit of perseverance, you'll be joyfully riding the waves by the end of the week!

Surf Lessons:
You want to ride the waves like a true pro. Who better to teach you than the professionals themselves?! For five days straight, you’ll receive two hours of surfing lessons each day, and, conditions permitting, there will be supervised ‘free’ surfing! The instructors are certified and among the top in the Netherlands. You’ll even get lessons from the number 1 surfer in the country!

Step by Step:
The instructors guide you step by step. First, you’ll receive some theory on the beach, covering topics such as the workings of the sea, waves, and currents—all crucial for surfing! Then, you’ll hit the water quickly. You’ll learn how to stand on your board and maintain your balance. After that, it’s all about practicing a lot. With high-quality lessons and a bit of perseverance, you’ll be smoothly riding the waves by the end of the week!

What else are we going to do?

Bodyboarding
Even more action on the water! Luckily, bodyboarding is less tiring than surfing. You get to stay comfortably lying on the board. Did you know you can perform stunts with it too? Try, for instance, jumping above the waves—super cool!

Longboarding
What do surfers do on dry land? Longboarding, for example! Steering with your longboard is somewhat similar to the maneuvers during surfing. The smooth asphalt paths around the campsite are perfect for cruising on your longboard. Let’s go!

Indoboarding
With indoboarding, you try to find balance on a small board perched on a roller. Professional surfers often do this exercise as a warm-up. It’s effective for improving your balance. Plus, you can pull off cool tricks like the cross-step and a 180° spin.

Power kiting
Is it windy on the beach? Brace yourself! Power kiting lets you feel the true strength of the wind. Such a large kite can pull you along. It’s quite different from a regular kite. That’s why you’ll learn how to steer and maintain control. You can even jump and attempt to fly a bit through the air!

Archery Tag
Bow and arrow at the ready, and go! Run, take cover behind obstacles, and shoot. Try to shoot all the opponent’s targets with your team and make sure you don’t get hit yourself! Who will win this exciting battle?

Pizza Making
All the action will work up an appetite! Time for some fuel, in the form of pizza. At a beach restaurant, we’ll bake our own pizzas. Top it with whatever you like, slide your pizza into the large stone oven, and enjoy!

Surf Contest
At the end of the week, it’s time for the one and only Vinea Surf Contest. During this legendary surf competition, you’ll compete with your fellow vacationers for the first prize. Time to showcase what you’ve learned from the surf pros. Who has the best surf skills?

Sun, Sea, Beach
This week, we fully embrace the surfer lifestyle, which means plenty of enjoyment! Therefore, there’s also time to simply relax on the beach. Swim in the sea, play a game of beach volleyball, or just unwind in the sun. If you’re lacking inspiration, the tour leaders are there with the best ideas for fun games and activities. With Vinea, you’ll never be bored!

Party Time!
We wrap up the week in style with a banging beach party. Music, drinks, and lots of fun with your new friends. A fantastic end to an amazing vacation!

Frequently asked questions about the Surfcamp.

**What kind of surfboards will I be learning on?**
You’ll be learning on soft-top surfboards. These boards are specifically designed for beginners. The top of the boards has a soft rubber coating, and the fins are made of flexible rubber to prevent injuries. They are also extra stable, making it easier for you to stand up.

**Is it a problem if I’ve never surfed before?**
The majority of your fellow vacationers have never surfed before, and that’s completely fine. The instructors are accustomed to teaching beginners from Vinea, so everything will go smoothly. But even if you already know how to surf, this vacation is enjoyable for gaining better control over the waves!

**How long are the surfboards?**
Depending on your height and weight, you’ll get a board that suits you perfectly! There are boards ranging from 2 to 3.5 meters long! Long boards stay stable in the water, helping you get the hang of it quickly.

**Do you wear a wetsuit while surfing?**
Yes, you wear a wetsuit. This ensures that you can stay in the water for a longer time because you stay warm. There are different sizes of wetsuits, so there’s always one that fits you.

**Can I bring my phone, tablet, or game?**
Yes, you can. However, there are specific rules about phone usage; check here to see the rules that apply to your location. Bringing a phone/tablet is at your own risk. We recommend bringing as little electronics as possible.
