Our surf camp Vieux Boucau is located on the well maintained camping site “Les Sablères ***”, directly behind the dunes with the beach only 100 m away. The long and beautiful sandy beach is not only the perfect place to catch some great waves but also to take a little time out while watching surfers from all over the world. This is especially exciting when there is a large swell with big waves because then the lineup is full of highly skilled surfers putting on a great show. It is the perfect place to leave your everyday lives behind and relax in a pleasant environment. Here everybody is immediately welcome into the camp family and should join us for our amazing barbecues as well as our legendary motto-parties.

Surfing - with Planet Surf you get the wave
Vieux Boucau and nearby locations offer beach breaks. The conditions are dependable and can work at any time of the year. The spots get waves from local windswells as well as from distant groundswells. Good surf occurs at all stages of the tide.
Our surf lessons, the art of wave-riding, are brought to you by excellent surf instructors. They all posses a license and not only get a lot of experience by giving surf lessons, but also they are excellent surfers. Good instructors are probably the most important thing in a surf camp – to guarantee safety in the water and promise a fast advance in your surfing skills. We will always find a spot where you can learn or where you are able to expand your skills whether you are intermediate or advance surfer. We want you to feel safe and comfortable while learning. Therefore we teach groups of maximum 8 people split into beginner, intermediate and advanced. Hence our teachers are able to spot your mistakes and help you to improve fast. You can choose courses of 14 or 24 lessons.
BEGINNER COURSE
In our beginner course, you are going to learn the sequence of movements for the take – off, so that you can start to surf the first withe-wash waves very soon. Theory introduction is indispensable, if you want to go surfing on your own. You will learn about waves, currents and equipment. But don´t worry: fun in the water and the practical surfing are always in the foreground.
INTERMEDIATE COURSE
In the intermediate surf course, we will help you improve your skills on the board and reach up the next level. We check out your movement sequences and help you surf unbroken ("green") waves diagonal. The content of the course totally depends on your motivation and aims!
ADVANCED COURSE
Green waves up to 1,50 m are not a problem anymore and you nearly always surf diagonal? Are you looking forward to get some tips from a pro to be able to perform new moves on the board? Than you are the absolutely right person for our advanced course. The contents and aims will be individually arranged with the coach. So during your stay, we guarantee to push you until your limits!
Furthermore the surf equipment is always available for you – outside the lesson and during the weekend.
Our qualified surf instructors expect you in our surf school Moliet!
Activities – a lot of surfing and more
If you can’t get enough of surfing you have the opportunity to rent boards and wetsuits for free in our camp – also after the lesson. If you want to try another kind of water sport you can also grab a body board and spend some time in the water.
Apart from the water sport there are also other activities for you to enjoy. You can play at the beach volleyball, basketball or football fields. There are also ping pong and pool tables where you can continue to romp around. There is also a nice little skatepark close to the camp. There you can try your best on the different obstacles, rails and curbs. In our teams’ opinion it is a great place.
If you need some relaxation for body and mind, we also offer yoga courses where you can find your inner Chi. After the surfing this is a good opportunity to relax and you will come back totally unwind after your surf trip. 5 hours of yoga are for free and you can decide yourself if you are interested in it or not.
At night everybody, who still has enough energy after the hard day and is in a party mood, can join us and come to our favourite “Mojito” bar. There are always a lot of people. Sometimes there are bands playing live, so you can dance to the good music and have a great time there.
