About Us
Why Surfholidays.com?
We set up Surfholidays.com in 2009 to be a place where you can browse, research, get inspired by and book the best accommodation and the best surf schools throughout the world’s top surf towns
Our original team started out with an Irishman, a South African and a Spaniard. We now have 12 different nationalities in our team. As surfers ourselves we had been exploring the coastline of Europe for years and it had become increasingly frustrated trying to discover unique places to stay near the surf. We often had people joining us who wanted to learn how to surf and we found it very difficult to get any feedback on reliable surf schools. That set us on our path and soon after Surfholidays.com was born
We all worked in the surf industry prior to starting Surfholidays.com and have got to know some of the worlds’ best surf towns inside out. We have used our knowledge and understanding to establish a platform that allows people to find unique places to stay, to learn how to surf with reliable & quality surf instruction and to progress their skills on the best surf breaks in the world.
We hope you enjoy browsing our site and find your perfect surf destination
