The surf camp is located in the north of Wollongong in a spectacular landscape, only an hour drive from Sydney. Wollongong is a university town with beautiful beaches and great nightlife. You'll be coached by experienced professionals whose goal is to perfect your surfing skills. You will experience the way of life of the locals, climbing mountains, surfing on beautiful & protected spots, look over the shoulders of board shapers and just having the best time of your life. What are you waiting for?
We call the property the "Beach Motel" because only one road separates the motel from one of the top beaches around: The Thirroul Beach. The rooms are newly renovated and offer a maximum of three people. Each room has a private bathroom, kitchenette and refrigerator. The rooms new bed sheets and bath towels are cleaned 2x per week. There is also a living room with billiards, TV (countless surf movies) and sofas. There you can chill out with other campers and plan surf sessions and other trips together. Countless excursion possibilities are in the close cities Wollongng and Sydney. But the most beautiful thing to explore is right at the doorstep: Nature!
Included in the package is a daily continental breakfast with tea, coffee, fruit, cereal, bacon, eggs and toast. So you probably have enough energy for the intense surf sessions. And only 2 minutes away from the surf camp you will find a supermarket, where you could stock up for the rest of the day. For dinner, the town offers a variety of restaurants and pubs, and there is also a "Beach Motel Restaurant & Bar" services where you get perks as Surf Camp Guest.
There are also bicycles and skateboards in the property, which you can use for free to explore the surrounding area.
Although the Illawarra region is located just one hour south of Sydney, but with the Royal National Park in between, you feel like in another world. There are about 20 surf spots, which swells from multiple direction. The surf course team is licensed to teach at 3 beaches, including "The Farm Beach": The "National Surfing Reserve" is under special protection due its perfect waves and eco-system. The Surf Coach will search best surf spots together with the group everyday.
Every week there are 5 days (2 sessions per day, a total of 9x 2h) course with theoretical and practical elements. Videos will be made everyday to offer optimal analysis. It's incredibly helpfull to see yourself "from the outside" to improve your positioning, paddling techniques, etc. To get to know better about the surf culture, we allow a look behind the scenes: A visit to a local surfboard factory is always included in the surf package, there you will learn what it takes to make a whole new surfboard. And if you are in the camp long enough you can even shape your own board on request.
