We’re going to show you the best surf camps near Santander and Somo ...

If you are looking for a surf camp in Santander or Cantabria, you will have noticed that there is one town that stands out above all others when it comes to surfing in Cantabria.

That town is Somo, and we have talked about it before in our blog (for example, in our article “5 Reasons to Visit Somo”). We have also mentioned it specifically in our Surfing in Cantabria section.

But what exactly is a surf camp?

We would say that a surf camp transforms an activity like surfing into a complete experience over several days.

This experience focuses on surfing but adds extra elements for an unforgettable vacation. In a surf camp, you will have everything included in terms of accommodation, meals, surf lessons, equipment, and even other activities like yoga or skateboarding.

Despite all this, the most important aspect of a surf camp is the opportunity to meet other people engaged in the same activity at different levels—a community where we are sure you won’t get bored.

We can say that you will have a 100% surf vacation with the options we are going to show you.

What do I need to prepare for going to a surf camp?

You don’t need to bring any special equipment, but we do recommend bringing several pairs of snug, comfortable, seamless swimwear (to wear under the wetsuit), flip-flops, and a bag with a small towel and a water bottle.

It’s also advisable to bring water-resistant sunscreen for your face.

The rest of the trip will be like a normal vacation, so pack your suitcase with everything you would take to a hotel or hostel!

Apart from this, it’s important to keep in mind that surfing is a physically demanding activity, so it’s advisable to be physically prepared and familiar with the sport.

Even if you have experience in other sports, you will notice the exertion in the days that follow!
