Surf Camp: Learn Surfing at the North Coast of Gran Canaria
The cosy and inexpensive surf camp in the midst of the best waves of the North.
lang="EN-GB">The surf camp and the surf school called Surfguia2, where you can simply rent a room, lang="EN-GB"> are located at the North Coast of Gran Canaria – about 20 minutes away from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria by car. From only 380 euros per person and week you can find accommodation at the surf camp. You can get one week “Surfari” from only 295 euros per person and week and you are guaranteed an inexpensive and relaxed surf holiday.
This cosy and quiet surf camp in an “alternative style” can be found in the midst of the surf area in the North of Gran Canaria – namely in a quiet fishing village called San Felipe. Right at your front door you find the calm beach of Vagabundos, that is rarely frequented on work days, and the spot of El Circo, which creates extraordinary waves.
The surf camp Surfguia2 is situated in the quiet and dozy village of San Felipe, in which you find true Canarian peace and composure except for the surfing and one to two pleasant bars. He who wants to enjoy a night life, go shopping or use the cultural offer besides surfing, may be better acquainted in the surf camp Ocean Side in Las Palmas. Despite, or rather because of this Surfguia2 may serve as a great alternative to the better known surf schools and surf camps of this island, because it presents something totally different.
Almost deserted places instead of fairgrounds like the surf location La Cicer in Las Palmas, calmness instead of the hectic rush of huge cities, comfort instead of elegance, and everything at low cost – this is how to describe Surfguia2 in one sentence.
Moreover, the surf camp Surfguia2 is the ideal starting point for all nature loving people who want to get to know the North of Gran Canaria and the central part of the island. For instance, you can visit one of the most important archaeological place of discovery of the Canarian Islands, the cave system of Cenobio de Valeron, which is only one kilometre away. One of the most beautiful and spectacular fishing villages, El Roque, that was built upon a rock that reaches out into the ocean, can be reached within a 20-minute walk, passing the surfing locations of Pico del Paso, El Circo, and Pico del Alto.
“While listening to the sound of the sea rushing and the waves that are calling you, you can calm down and just relax. The surfing house is plain, but designed with care and equipped with everything you need to stay fresh and to satisfy the needs of a surfer: a camp kitchen, lavatory, shower and enough space to barbecue, to relax or to have a party. Check the waves from the roof terrace, breath deeply and imagine yourself on the best waves of the island.” This is how the managers of Surfguia2, Niki and Jose Luis, describe their own camp. The team of Las Palmas24.com can only agree to all terms.
Jose Luis is a born-and-bred Canarian and grew up as a surfer in the spot La Cicer in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Niki Gerland, who is the second key figure of Surfguia2, is, as the name already tells, German. This has the advantage that people in our surf camp are able to perfectly use three languages for communication: German, Spanish, and English.
There is another hint offered by Surfguia2: the Surfaris. They give you the chance to get to the best surfing spots of the island. The Surfari-package only costs from 270 euros upward and includes 7 nights of accommodation, breakfast with a cheese and ham sandwich, coffee and milk or juice and a daily snack on the beach. In addition, you get pictures of your surf adventures and useful hints of the locals Niki and Jose Luis.
Final judgement of the team of Las Palmas 24.com: Thumbs up for Surfguia2!
