We're goin' on a Surfing Surfari.

You ever hear that song Surfing Surfari? It was by the Beatles, or the Beach Boys, or some other group of fossils, not sure, but it had a real good message.

"Let's go surfin' now, everybody's learnin' how, come on a surfari with me"

Think about it, about the concept, the wonders of a surf trip, combined with the adventure of a safari. Traveling up and down the coast hunting WAVES! Doesn't that just sound wonderballs!?

Well, we put one together. Kinda, well, as put together as an off the cuff surf trip can possibly be.

Let us explain. We have this bus, right? And this big stretch of surfing coast spanning Spain and France, gottit? And so what we're going to do is cruise up and down the coast looking for waves. And we're going to sleep in whichever town we found waves in, and in the morning we're going to head off, taking in the best towns, beaches, tourists attractions and parties this part of the world has to offer. Pretty cool huh!?

It's such a simple, yet rad concept. We'll be exploring good chunks of Spain and France, which are totally different countries, like duh, and have different languages and food and that kind of STUFF, they also have completely different beaches, waves, vibes, even climate! And you can experience both in a week. 

What better way to experience these two must-do locations than on a surfboard!? Y'all know we just adore tourism, and site seeing rules, but there aint nothing finer than whiling away the hours doing not so much parked on a beautiful European beach.

The awful details.

We'll be starting our Surfari in Spain or France, cruising up and down the coast, surfing wherever the waves are the best. We will stop in Biarritz in France for parties, or maybe Hossegor to rub shoulders with the European surfing elite. We'll be surfing wherever the waves are the best, we'll spend off days exploring the Pyrenees, if it seems like the right thing to do, or we'll be eating in the cider houses behind San Sebastian (and drinking a little cider too). 

Basically we'll be chasing the waves and the biggest kicks. At the end of the days we'll retreat to whichever campsite is the closest, set up the tents and cook dinner. We'll drink some beers and trade stories. We'll decide whether we want to go and party, or not, and once the night is done, whichever we chose to do we know we'll be waking up and cruising the coast looking for more waves.

Doesn't that sound just amazing!?

On the road baby!

Kinda.

Because the whole concept of Surfari is to be out there looking for waves, traveling. We'll be cruising between Bordeaux in France and Bilbao in Spain, but we can go further afield is the waves call, or maybe we'll get some advice that there is going to be an amazing party somewhere a little further out and we'll just shoot off and get it done. Why not? The only mistress we have is the road.

Fly, train, bus, car, bike, feet or magic carpet.

Whatever floats your boat. 

Oh, and boat.

Just choose your arrival location and we'll help you work out the best way to get there. Both our locations are near airports, train stations, bus stops, rivers...
