France
Dreamsea
Moliets - The capital of student surf trips. And for good reason... This camp is a surfers‘ utopia nestled in the French pine forests. When the world’s best beach breaks have you feeling surfed out, hit the skate ramp, cycle through the forest, or loosen up with some yoga.
Star Surf

Spain
Dreamsea
Dreamsea have taken their winning formula and set up camp in the beautiful wilderness of Northern Spain. This sustainable gem of a surf camp is a real retreat for the mind and body.
Portugal
Lapoint
One of the biggest and best surf camps in Europe. Lapoint have thought of everything to make your surfing holiday perfect. Outstanding facilities and breathtaking location make this a cut above the average surf camp.
MagikVanilla
In our opinion, this is one of the best surf camps in the world for groups of under 30! Set right in the heart of Ericeira’s quaint charm, pumping waves and surprisingly wild nightlife, the camp and crew will make you feel at home as soon as you arrive. Couple this with top level surf tuition and going the extra mile to get you in perfect, uncrowded waves and this is a recipe for a seriously good time!
Baia De Peniche
This camp is your home away from home. Owned and run by a local legend who was once European surfing champion, this place is as low key and laid back as you like with a wave variety that’s second to none.
Morocco
Lapoint
The original and still the best. Lapoint is what the locals call the famous wave of Anchor Point, but this is just one of many world class right hand point breaks that litter the coast.
Taghazout Surf Waves
This camp represents unbelievable value for money. Amazing location, ocean view roof terrace, swimming pool, and incredibly attentive staff make this camp top of it’s class. A short walk from one of the best beaches in the area for learning to surf and there’s some quality points nearby too...
Cli Surf
Another new addition that we could not pass up the opportunity to work with for 2017/18. This camp is perfectly set up for epic University surf trips and has some of the friendliest staff around. They also offer the full surf safari experience for independent surfers.

Something different
Lapoint
For those who want something different. Norway offers one of the most breathtaking surfing experiences on the planet, and we can take you there.

Did somebody just say Surf Instructor course and Indo in the same sentence!?
That’s right... Choose 8 or 12 weeks, stay in a beautiful villa, surf every day and study to become a professional frother! No matter your surfing ability, Solid will have you as a qualified Surf Instructor in as little as 2 months.
We certainly can’t think of a better way to spend a summer or Gap Year!
