We’ve tweaked the algorithm and plugged in the all-important variables of wave quality, surfer-to-instructor ratio, mattress firmness, crowd factor, cocktail menu and pure froth levels to find the continent’s best surf camps. Here are five locations guaranteed to take your surfing and stoke to the next level.
The team at La Pointe Surf Camps are known for their excellent surf destinations. Their USP though is adding fresh twists to iconic surf spots. Their Fuerteventura surf camp in the small town of Lajares is no different. It feels far away from the
island's trashy tourist traps, yet close enough to the great waves on the west, north and east coasts to offer a unique surf experience.
The accommodation has a vibe of rural luxury and is solar powered which given the 350 days of sun Fuerteventura cops, makes sense. Yet while the sun is a big attraction, the chance to really up your surfing game is the biggest drawcard.
Level 1, 2 and 3 courses are available depending on your ability, each with a maximum of six students per qualified, experienced instructor. With this many quality reefs and beachbreaks and such a high calibre of instruction, your surfing is guaranteed to go to the next level.
