What a trip! Surfing everyday with amazing surf instructores for both beginners and advanced. Supercool small group of people with only good vibes and a lot of fun. Everything was so well organised from lunch at the beach to different trips like sandboarding, hiking, yoga and more. Very familiar atmosphere in the villa. Video analysis and interesting surf theories. Catherine and Simone are so lovely people and you can feel their passion for surfing and organising these trips. Can definitely recommend SOLO!

Daniele - Fuerteventura '24
Solosurftrip is the upgrade of a Surfcamp, it’s a surf-crew. I joined fuerteventura trip and felt that all the people got close really fast, with the result of an amazing group.
Talking about technical things
- we were guided in the best surf spot of the island
- everyone had the chance to surf and to progress, beginner (first-timer) were already reading and surfing their own green wave after 5 lessons.
Intermediates were practicing turns to follow right or left-handed waves
- theory class to understand the forecast, wind, swell, priorities, currents etc.
Really worth the price. -

I recently embarked on a solosurftrip that left me utterly amazed. Every minute of the journey was filled with exhilaration and joy. From the camaraderie of the fellow travelers to the exceptional staff, this trip exceeded all my expectations.
Our surf instructors, Simone and Catharine, were nothing short of remarkable. Their guidance was superb, and they transformed our group from nervous beginners into confident surfers who could catch their own waves within just a few days. Their passion for teaching and their patience made all the difference.
