"I attended a five day camp at wellentime with my sister and a friend. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience! We stayed at a hostel which was perfectly adequate for our needs and our room was cleaned daily with fresh towels provided. wellentime looked after all our transfers to the airport and to the beaches for surfing. We didn’t have to think about or do anything except surf! Wetsuits and boards were provided. We were patiently taken through the surfing process with our attentive surf instructors. The beaches were great with good wave conditions. Within no time we were all standing up on our boards and letting the waves carry us to the shore. I just can’t wait to go back now to learn more and do it again! Surfing started at 10 am each day and lasted for three full hours. The times suited us perfectly as the start wasn’t too early and afterwards we were able to sunbathe locally. In the evenings we took the Metro into the beautiful city of Bilbao to eat, shop and fiesta! I would recommend wellentime to anyone who is keen to learn to surf with excellent instruction and in a beautiful location for good value."

Hi there,
My name is Paul and I come from London. I went to Bilbao for a week's holiday and took a 6 day surfing course at wellentime.com. I found it really safe learning to surf with these guys. The instructors speak good English so I had no problem at all communicating with them. Surfing is awesome: if you are into sports you will love it. I'm definitely going back to surf with wellentime.com.

The best of times with wellentime - surfing in Northern Spain.

Headed off to Northern Spain this summer having booked our accomodation and surfschool for the children age 11 and 14 through wellentime. Everything went smoothly and arrived at campsite in Gorliz just north of Bilbao, rested after a short drive from Santander ferry. Campsite fine, chalet accomodation clean, great shower. No pool or play area on site but sports park next door (running track, basket ball, tennis, outdoor gym, skateboard) and a short walk to the beach and prom. Really liked the campsite, low key, mainly extended spanish families who were very friendly. Lovely and quite in the evening.
Bibao only a short train ride away if you need some culture (the Guggenheim) and some of the best tapas in Spain (Casco Viejo - old quarter). Beautiful coast walk from the beach at Gorliz.

Surfschool was a big hit with the children. Minibus picked up from campiste each morning and returned in afternoon. Great surfing beaches. Very professional and well organised. Holger who ran the school spoke good english and really looked after the children with excellent support from German and Spanish instructors who were great teachers and even better surfers. Two days and both children were standing on their boards.

'On TV you see surfers all over the world and you never think you will get that chance but after just 2 days I was standing up on the board. It was a truly amazing feeling.' H, age 14.

'wellentine Surf School was a great experience for me. When I went out on my first day I was lacking self confidence and feeling incredibly nervous, but in a short amount of time I felt much more relaxed and confident. The encouragement the teachers gave me helped me feel good about my self and soon I was standing on my board.' J, age 11.

VERY IMPRESSIVE SURFING CAMP!!!!!!!

I attended the surf camp for less than 3 days and I was a bit reluctant to go for surfing lessons with other aspiring surfers,but I was pleasantly surprised by the professionalism and good atmosphere between the surfing instructors and the participants.
After two days I was actually able to master the art of lying on the surfboard and on the last day I actually managed to stand and ride a wave!!!!! If I had more time,I definitely would be much more confident in my abilities.
It was a worthwhile experience that I reccommend anybody who is keen to learn to surf.....I will make frequent visits to Holger at wellentime surfing in the future!!!!!

Try it...you will be amazed!!!!
