Surfing holiday in Spain

How this holiday makes a difference

To surf is to be at one with nature. Without the natural environment there would be no surfing. We take this fact very seriously and ensure that, throughout the holiday, we have as little negative impact on the environment as possible. During your adventure we'll take in a wide range of what northern Spain has to offer; spectacular scenery, breathtaking coastline and pristine mountains. We want to ensure it stays that way. We achieve this by practising low-impact and sustainable travel. We take only small groups of up to 8 people in one vehicle - this ensures the area is kept free of mass tourism and that we don't ever "overrun" a place. We want to blend in, not stick out and encourage interaction with local people.

All our accommodation is booked directly with the establishment owners, all of whom are local to the area and rely on bookings like ours to survive. We eat in specially selected local restaurants and bars ensuring that our spendings go directly to the community, thus supporting a small rural infrastructure as much as we can.

We offset all of our carbon emissions with Rainforest Concern, a NPO that helps protect endangered forest, its animals and peoples, primarily in South and Central America.

Our surf materials are environmentally friendly; we use extremely durable epoxy surf boards in an effort to avoid having to replace broken boards with toxic fibreglass ones and use Terrawax - a unique, non-toxic, non-petrol based, biodegradable surf wax.

We also promote ferry travel to us in favour of air travel through an exclusive agreement with Brittany Ferries in an effort to reduce carbon emissions. We promote the importance of recycling and water-saving to all of our clients.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


Fantastic start to finish. They really have done their homework in terms of accommodation food and of course, the surfing beaches. The highlight for me of course was actually learning to surf thanks to the excellent instruction of Ben.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


It's a bit tough physically surfing two times a day, but of course you have the option of chilling out on the beach if you're tired. Waterproof sunscreen 30+ is a must. Despite camping, there are great facilities including plugs, and I wish I had brought my hair dryer. Extra towels and bathing suits are also a good idea.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Yes - I was particularly impressed with the fact that they used Forest Credits, and were knowledgeable about what the company was actually doing with the forest.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


One of the best holidays I've been on in a very very long time. Mainly due to Dan and Ben who did such a good job.
