Not just Surfer Girls, but Pioneers
12 May, 2016Learn to surf as an adult
3 July, 2016You want to go to a surf camp for the first time and you have no idea what to take with you? No problem, we’ve made up the ultimate packing list for your next surf camp vacation to make sure you won’t forget anything important.
For the beach
Boardshorts / Bikini
An absolute must-have, for sunbathing as well as for surfing! During the surf lessons, we will provide you a wetsuit, but due to hygienic reasons it’s reasonable to wear a bikini / boardshorts underneath it.
Towels
It would be best if you take two towels with you, one for the beach and one for the shower.
Poncho
Many people swear by a surf-poncho – it’s no must-have but it definitely makes changing clothes at the beach much easier.
Backpack
Perfect in order to transport drinks, sunscreen, towel, etc. comfortably to the beach
Own surf equipment
Wetsuit
If you have your own wetsuit, you can bring it with you if you like, because normally you will feel more comfortable in your own wetsuit than in a rental one.
Surfboard (incl. leash, wax and board-bag)
You have your own surfboard? Bring it along with you to the surf camp if you want to. If you don’t have an own surfboard, that’s no problem: during the surf classes, we will provide you a suitable surfboard. You can also rent a surfboard at our camp if you like to go surfing on your own.

Miscellaneous
