O’Neill Surf Camp 2008
Do you want to have a real cool vacation, where you can next to going out and the partying enjoy the best sport on earth, surfing?! You should go with us on the O’Neill surf camp Mimizan!
This is the biggest, oldest and really the best surf camp in Europe. The waves in front of the Mimizan coast are in the summer perfect for both beginners as advanced surfers. Wave surfing and bodyboarding is hot, because these are cool and challenging sports with a nice beach lifestyle.
Surfing
Surfing is the most original form of board sports that exist. You have a lot of board sports but it all started with surfing. Skateboarding, wakeboarding, snowboarding it all began with wave surfing. With wave surfing you use the movement of the sea to go forward on your board. You are actually riding on a wave. The sport started in Polynesia. The Polynesian brought the sport to Hawaii where the people got to know it. Then it became popular all over the world. Hawaii is still famous for surfing, because they have the most impressive waves of the world.
For beginners there are a few basic rules everyone on the water needs to know:
- The surfer on the wave has precedence on the surfer who is peddling to the outside of the wave.
- When there are more surfers on the wave, the one that is most in the wave (the closest to the foam) has precedence on the person who just came on the wave.
- When a surfer is already on a wave you can’t drop in.
- Let the other surfer on a wave know which side you are going to pick, so he/she can take the other side of the wave.
- No snaking! This is a surf term, it means that somebody steals your wave by peddling behind you and then take the wave.
Where do you go?
Now you know the basics of surfing and decided if you are interested, you need to know where you are going! In Europe one of the well-known surf spots is Mimizan in France. And you can go there this year! Mimizan isn’t just for surf and body board freaks, but for everybody one of the greatest vacation destinations in France. Mimizan lays at the Atlantic coast, has big tropical beaches and it’s real fun to go out at the pub Bar Le Surf and the night club Bar Americain. There are also a lot of good restaurants in the nice center.
At the surf camp itself is our own surfbar and we also have a nice place to chill with a lot of couches where we can watch a movie or listen to some music. There is a great atmosphere and everyone feels at home right away.
You stay at Camping de la Plage wich is located at 800 meters from the beach and 500 meters from the center of Mimizan. The camp has always a nice atmosphere! The bathrooms are clean and hot showers are free. The reception has lockers and there is a supermarket on the property. There are also possibilities to use the internet.
What are you doing?
On the camp we have a lot of surfboards, bodyboards, skimboards and cool beachcruisers. A lot of contestants don’t have much surf experience so everyone can join us. The surfcamp team is there for you to give you an unforgettable vacation. And of course help you to learn how to surf.
For the surf lessons you can book several combination packets that include the rental from your gear and the lessons.
Every week there are several activities organized by the staff of the O’Neill camp. There is a cocktail party where you can taste the most coolest surf cocktails. A beach party at the beach with a big beach fire and enough drinks and music!
You can also sign in for a music or surf trip to San Sebastian, a beautiful place across the border of Spain.
If that is not enough for you there will be a Mimizan dance party and beachcruisers.
