We asked Darren what people can expect and he said “The camp is nestled right behind the dunes of Southwest France. Our unique location offers a pure sense of freedom and connection. Imagine waking up to the sound of waves, with nothing on your mind but catching the perfect wave and sharing unforgettable moments with new friends.

It’s an experience where the simple things matter: delicious food after a sunrise surf, storytelling at the communal table, and spontaneous laughter with like-minded people worldwide. There’s no stress, no rush, just the rhythm of the tides and the stoke of sharing sunset sessions, creating memories that last forever.

It’s not just a surf trip—a feeling of being part of something special, where the ocean sets the pace, friendships grow naturally, and every day feels like the best
version of life.
