There are few things better in life than enjoying the gorgeous Spring weather after an Arctic winter.  All the sunshine and world surf contests have inspired us to choose our favourite Spring surf destinations.  It's time to get planning and book ourselves a surf holiday to make the most of the season.  Here are our top 3 picks:
 
  • 1 La Concha Surf Camp Fuerteventura



Few places combine brilliant weather and warm waters with an option of either deep relaxation or fiesta, but somehow the Canarian island of Fuerteventura provides it all. The La Concha Surf Camp,is only 5 minutes away from town and a minute from the ocean by foot.  Days are filled with surf lessons in the warmest water in Europe (wetsuit optional), then evenings are spent relaxing at the Surf Camp or taking part in a yoga class at La Concha itself. You will always come back deeply refreshed.  Ideal for solo travellers in your own bungalow for €490 or sharing with a friend for €724. Prices include 7 night accommodation, 5 days of surf lessons, all equipment & airport transfers.
 
  • 2 Ecolodges, Ericiera, Portugal



Quite simply one of the best places you will ever stay in. Only 35 minutes drive from Lisbon, the fishing town of Ericeira has over 20 surf breaks around it, so the hardest decision we all have to make each day is ‘where do I want to surf today?'.  For beginners Foz do Lizandro beach is perfect, or for easy access just run down to the beach of Praia do Sul . Of course if any of us fancy more of a challenge, then a small drive up the coastline to world class surf contest site of Ribeira d'Ilhas will be in order. We are running an Ecolodges special up to May 14th that includes 7 nights accommodation, 5 days of surf lessons, all equipment and lunch at Na Onda café on the beach each day all for just €339 per person - perfect for groups of friends, couples or families.
 
  • 3 Casa Offshore, Lagos, Portugal



With some of the warmest waters in Portugal, Lagos is still something of a well kept secret amongst surfers.  Lagos has a lot of character with its cobblestone streets and excellent cafes and restaurants, and of course- with the good weather, it's all about enjoying it all after our surf sessions.  We have a 20% discount for stays at Casa Offshore for April and May. 7 nights accommodation, 5 days of surf lessons (2 sessions per day), all equipment and Breakfast & Lunch for only €315. Ideal for solos, couples or groups.
