"Our daughter loved the camp and she already told all her friends from London and they are coming back next year! :) See you next year on the beach!"

Friendly environment

"The service from Nomad Surfer was great. Thanks for organizing! Camp had very friendly environment in general. Surf instructors were very good and well prepared. They knew the spots, knew how to teach, they were friendly and nice. My son was enthusiastic. Another great additional activity was surf skate that my son really enjoyed. They visited as well local villages and did some cool hiking to the mountain near the beach. It was fun. Thanks"

"Really nice camp! The monitors are the best!"

Great camp in North Spain

"Amazing camp with great instructors a really nice atmosphere and perfect beach with surfing."

Us trobarem a faltar

"Que decir de esa gran familia que sois Ruben y Andrea y todos los monitores que formais parte de ese gran equipo que Ruben con mucho cariño junta cada año. Sois una droga de las buenas, enganchais esa pasion y cariño que desprendeis por cada poro de vuestro cuerpo...siempre bañado con una sonrisa de oreja a oreja y un buen rollo que hace que subir a Santoña no solo sea subir a un surf camp, sino algo mas! Profesionales y de los grandes! Cada año nos cuesta mas decir adiós, hasta el próximo...sois geniales y lo mas importante y que cuesta mucho de encontrar es gente con una calidad humana que no tiene fin! Gracias por estos dias familia! Andrea gracias por rectificarme y ensenyarme! Us trobarem a faltar! Us feu estimar mooolt!"

Muy recomendable

"Irene pasó 10 días en este campamento y volvió muy contenta. Destacan los monitores, que son super agradables y la comida que le gustó un montón. La única pega que puso es que suelen ir grupos de amigos.. la idea no es hacerse amigos allí. Como madre destaco la seriedad en la organización.. la precision de la información que recibes y la facilidad de pago. Repetiremos otro año seguro!"

Amazing surf camp

"Amazing camp, great 1st surf experience. The monitors were very nice and pleasant to work with. Good atmosphere!"

Fun camp for teenagers!

"This was a fun camp and I enjoyed meeting new people from all over. The instructors were not very organized though and except for the briefing on the first night we arrived (Aug. 1), there was very little guidance the rest of the week. Also, the food was not very good, I'm sorry, and there should always be water available all day for the campers. It is very hot in the summer and we shouldn't have to buy our own water I think. Otherwise, it was lots of fun!"

So good

"Go on this camp it was so good, met so many people so so fun. Amazing week everyone is so nice."

"The people there were so friendly and kind and there were always a great mood in the house. All the coaches were motivated and always funny, that was making me motivated too. The program was very cool, so you were never boring and if there was nothing to do you could go and make "siesta"."

Thanks to Nomad Surfers

"Dear José, I am the father of Mathilde BECCAT. I would like first of all thank Nomadsurfers for the stay of Mathilde for the two last weeks. She enjoyed a lot the stay."

Super camp!

"Très bonne semaine, des moniteurs superbes et un beau cadre !"

Super sejour

"Plein de rencontre et de nos nouveaux amis de toutes les nationalité. Super mono et bon spot de surf. Je reviens l'été prochain !!!"

wonderful!

"Classes are great and I do a lot of new friends!"

Review

"My week at Nomad surf camp was over all an amazing experience. The only problem I had was the confusion at the airport the night I arrived but that is easy to fix. After that, everything got better and better every day. The camp is an extremely fun environment to be in as the teachers give just the right amount of freedom and autonomy to the kids. Making friends and meeting new people is an other rally strong positive point about the camp. Since day one all the ids where welcoming and open. I understand how dangerous surfing could be but the teachers, to opinion, could be more flexible with the choice of the surf boards. Foam boards are really fun! how ever testing different boards such as fiberglass, PU boards ect... The week I sent at Nomad surf camp is one to remember!"

Good luck and good waves

"Thank you and all the staff of the Surf School and Surf Camp the treatment received. We hope to be able to return very soon since we loved both surf lessons and the Santoña environment and the routes we did through the forest and the city. And of course, if you want to come to Gijon at any time, we will be happy to welcome you. A big hug, Good luck and good waves !!"

Enhorabuena por este campamento tan bien trabajado!!

"Muchísimas gracias por toda la información. Tan pronto como decidamos los días de julio para que David acuda junto a un grupo de amigos que ya el año pasado tuvieron su primera experiencia en el campamento, contactaremos y haremos la reserva definitiva."

Merci beaucoup

"surfcamp, elles ont adore!!!"

Gracias!!

"Después de mi primer contacto con el surf me decidí a hacer un curso. Dado que tenía 15 dias libres en agosto y me había cansado de repetir planes cada año, sentía que necesitaba un cambio por lo que me lancé a buscar por internet y me decanté. Cuando llegué por primera vez, vi aquella preciosa playa ubicada entre dos montañas, y lo más curioso de todo, una cárcel en ella; si,habéis leído bien, una cárcel, la cuál le da un rollo diferente a todo lo que había visto antes. El primer dia me sentía desubicada, nunca había estado en un camp. Había personas de todas las nacionalidades, muchos adolescentes derrochando energía y vitalidad por donde pasaban,que se relacionaban como si no importase la diferencia de edad, y eso me encantó. Mi compañero de viaje y yo nos acomodamos en una de las habitaciones privadas que reservamos y decidimos dar una vuelta por el pueblo y conocer un poco la zona puesto que las clases para nosotros empezarían al dia siguiente. Recuerdo mi primera clase como si estuviese allí, estaba nerviosa, me temblaba todo aunque intentaba disimularlo. Después de casi un mes de mi primer contacto con el agua, temía que no pudiese hacerlo, aunque para eso estaba allí, para aprender. Empezamos a calentar antes de entrar en el agua, recibimos las primeras nociones de surf y un monitor entró en el agua conmigo para ayudarme, me coloqué en la tabla esperando a aquella espuma que me empujaría y haría revivir en mi todas las emociones vividas en Caparica. Todo volvió a fluir tal y cómo lo recordaba, esas sensaciones volvieron a mi, surfeé aquella espuma hasta la orilla, no me creía que lo había vuelto a hacer y ahora con más destreza. A partir de ese dia, todo fue a mejor, cada dia que pasaba intentaba superarme, ganaba confianza en mi misma y en el agua. Cabe decir que, antes de surfear tenía miedo a entrarme en el agua aunque supiese nadar, y el surf me ayudó a superarlo. Hubo un par de dias que no fueron buenos para mi, el mar estaba muy picado y pasé miedo en él, no sabía afrontar aquella situación y me frustaba el hecho de no poder coger ninguna ola, pero aprendí algo muy importante, que hay veces que para poder avanzar, primero hay que retroceder. La vida en sociedad en el camp se desarrollaba durante la tarde, había actividades varias y nosotros participábamos en algunas, otras veces íbamos por libre con gente del camp. Tengo que decir que, para los que querais aprender a surfear o tengais curiosidad, un camp es una experiencia única e inolvidable, es como estar con una gran familia, desde luego mi experiencia fue así. A medida que pasaban los dias, notaba como mi nivel de surf iba mejorando, mi posición en el agua era diferente, era capaz de leer las olas y saber dónde debía colocarme. Empecé a subir al pico e intentar surfear olas desde allí. Comentar que la ola de verano en Berria es perfecta para principiantes, puesto que es una ola fácil y lenta, la cuál permite corregir tu posición. Como colofón del curso, tuvimos una sorpresa inesperada, la escuela trajo un equipo de surfistas profesionales de O´neill, y nos programaron una clase con ellos. Puedo aseguraros que fue una pasada, Axi Muniain fue uno de los pro que estuvieron con nosotros, nos explicó tácticas para mejorar el Take Off (ponerse de pie en la tabla) , el Bottom Turn (el primer giro en la base de la ola) y el Pump (ejecutar pequeños saltos en la tabla para coger velocidad) entre otros. Antes de conocer el maravilloso mundo del surf, mi hobbie era viajar, ahora los lugares que quiero visitar y conocer tienen que tener playa y olas surfeables para mi nivel. Espero que os haya gustado mi experiencia y que os haya servido de ayuda por si teníais dudas a la hora de hacer un camp o simplemente de probar. Como dice el refrán, arrepiéntete sólo de las locuras que no hagas."

Una experiencia inolvidable

"R. Menéndez acudió al campamento la primera tanda del mes de julio del 2014 y estuvo alojada en el camp. Fue una experiencia inolvidable tanto a nivel personal como deportivo, es por ello que este año repite. Si fuera posible le gustaría alojarse en la misma casa. Aprovecho para felicitarles por la organización de este campamento de verano, por la profesionalidad de los docentes, responsabilidad de los monitores y diversidad en las actividades al margen de las clases de surf (mención especial para la actividad de Yoga). Quedo a su disposición para cualquier duda. Un saludo."
