Free Surf Camp — Editor's Take
Budget-friendly surf camp perfect for beginners with a great host.
- Affordable pricing
- Beginner-friendly waves
- Welcoming atmosphere
Free Surf Camp offered a laid-back, budget-friendly vibe that made it easy for beginners to feel comfortable. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, centered around learning and fun.
Guests loved Nino, the host and surf guide, who provided great instruction tailored to beginners. The camp was affordable and the surf conditions were ideal for those just starting out.
While it was perfect for beginner surfers looking for a friendly and affordable experience, the camp is now permanently closed. It's uncertain if it has moved to a new location, so booking is no longer possible.
